I was told to shut up and my post was deleted when I talked about overpriced RF lens.
I want to say again, there have no new optical theory had been invented in last 200 year
The people who worked out the Scheimpflug Principle died about 100 years ago, so that statement is definitely exaggerated.
, and RF lens is downgrade of EF lens, such as external zoom, NANO USM, plastic frame, no more fluorite glass (except a few). RF lens should be (great) cheaper than its EF opponents.
EF lenses seldom used fluorite, often had plastic construction, even bayonets, and many used worse motors than Nano USM.
Mirrorless camera had been overpriced by a bad role model, the Walkman manufacturer. They were at the stage of bankruptcy decade ago and a lot of cash were needed to survive when the imaging business were their last ring buoy.
How can they sold a camera at bloody higher price after removed a pricey parts (mirror box) away from the camera and only the cheap PCB left?
A decent EVF is pricy. Compare the price of the accessory EVF for the EOS M6 with the price of the EOS SL3 body only, which include the mirror box, shutter, sensor, battery processors and ask yourself what proportion of the SL3's price is due to the flipping mirror.
What I talk is simply true facts and will benefit we users if manufacturer reviews their pricing policy after put it in consideration of all the facts.
I'm sure all the manufacturers review their pricing policy monthly if not weekly.
Now the camera industries are trapped in the death loop.
Shrinking market -> less mass production -> higher price -> less orders -> Shrinking market
So what are you trying to say?
You prefer it's expensive even if it's overpriced?
Are you presenting someone or we users?
