Interesting that still 20% think it is not on the same level as, say, 5D MKIV. I do agree it is not. Maybe it is related to pandemic, rushed product and issues with resources, processes, components, quality control

I don’t agree that this product was rushed. I’ve shot Canon since 1992 which include several 5D (II, III, and IV), 7D II, and 1D IV and 1Dx and started shooting Sony mirrorless in 2013 all the way up to their latest A9, a7RIV, and others. Other cameras include Fuji as well. The quality seems consistent with other prosumer bodies in the mid 2000s.

These cameras have the highest speed sensors and sophisticated AF systems and support both stills and vidio as well as a full array of interconnect capabilities not included in the past. Ultimately the are really more complex than anything a generation ago.
