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 years,

that’s probably the least logical argument I have ever heard.  Are you actually trying to imply that lenses from 200 years ago are same as they are today?   Or that new  lenses have to alter optical laws? Or what is your point?

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.

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?

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.

Now the camera industries are trapped in the death loop.

Shrinking market -> less mass production -> higher price -> less orders -> Shrinking market
