Canon has over half of the camera/lens business, so they must be doing something right, even if they can't please the contributors to these forums.
I am finding it entertaining that the biggest selling points of the EOS R have absolutely nothing to do with the EOS R. Canon is #1! So what? Their position clearly isn't based on having the best cameras.
Not anymore
When is the last time Canon released a class leader?
I think that all depends on how you define "class leader"
Yes, this is a key. Canon is a class leader on ergonomics and user experience. Same with this EOS R. Using it will be a better experience than most other mirrorless out there. Same with reliability. Same with service. Same with lens selection.
Too often we let others define the field for the debate. Reviewers often focus on specs rather than those items listed above, which matter to real consumers.
I've been out car shopping recently and I can tell you that often the better brands don't always have the latest bells and whistles, as they take more time to get it right. They also have the fundamentals in their favor, of reliability, safety, and basic car performance.
I hate to break it to you, but those are just BS marketing points promoted by DSLR companies when Sony released it's A7 line of cameras. "Class leader on ergonomics and user experience" is absolutely not even a real thing, it is ONLY something people say as an argument against Sony cameras. It is complete a 100% BS viral marketing talking point. If anyone is ever pressed to prove those statements it ends up being "Well to me...", "It just works...", "It's just feels right". It's the exact same BS that apple pulled "It just works", "It's magical". Same with your reliability argument, and lens selection argument.
It's crazy that you think those made up BS completely irrelevant talking points that have nothing to do with the images you make are more important that what the camera is actually capable of doing. The level of delusion from Canon users is completely insane.
What you say is BS is 100% reality for me. See my comment above.
Exactly, it's reality for only
YOU precisely because it's not actually demonstrably real, as in it's complete BS. All your posts do is prove my point. Why is it the only people who make this crap up are DSLR users, and almost entirely of the Canon variety? Well I'll tell you why, because Canon's sensors are still garbage and they made this crap up as soon as Sony's dynamic range shot way past theirs in order to convince their users that Sony is bad. You've been convinced to turn against your own best interests and it's painful to watch.
It's 100% reality for me every time I work, in ease of use, speed of operation, in various refinements and details that I can see and feel. To explain it would require a good deal of time, discussing various work scenarios. I don't have time for it, and you wouldn't accept it anyway. But I've worked with many cameras, and I know which one make my work easier and which ones make my work harder.
As for sensors being "garbage", you are entitled to your opinion. Canon sensors give me fantastic results week after week, year after year. As they do for many other professionals, so at the peak of the photography profession.
