Marketing depts of different manufacturers have lately showed different weird behavior. Remember Nikon's silence and playing dumb with their DL series fiasco.

Now I am surprised seeing Canon doing weird things including awful inconsistency with presenting SX70 HS specs on various Canon web sites and elsewhere. As I believe the bridge market isn't so negligible as it may seem.

I cannot wait to get the cam in my hands. It should be a good one or...

I expect I will be still trundling on with my G3X endlessly cursing its failings but not really seeing much to better it at the price. Sony seem to be setting themselves up as the new Leica at the moment but flogging old stuff off cheap to try and keep the flipping skint market in their sights.

The market is really weird at the moment and a painful adjustment is in process with smartphones chomping away but a plateau could be reached at some time with a core user base of camera owners. The units shipped for fixed lens on CIPA look a bit more resilient at the moment over the last few months than ILC so the idea that seems to be around that ILC is somehow immune from the smartphone threat could be a bit over optimistic. Shuffling lenses and the cost of lenses and the sheer size of full frame and lugging it around in a backpack could seem an even more alien way of life to the smartphone generation and the convenience of a smartphone an even greater relief for your sanity, bank balance, back and shoulders for even those current users tired of all this paraphernalia.
