Re: Yes, they are wiping the M6ii off the face of the earth

yes. fab time is very expensive. also scheduling fab time is expensive and money is already allocated. even though parts aren’t built yet. But from an internal company financial perspective it is the same as if parts already were made. i work for a monster big. corporation and how money is hsndled and allocated just does not sense from a simple engineers point of view. it is just from my experience seeing how money is handled i have this idea that at some point the marketing people in Canon had this awful realization that they were going to have a bunch of 32 MP chips depreciating in inventory and they were scrambling to find some product to use them in And a realization that DSLR sales were plummeting much faster than anyone expected so the 90D was not going to work out as a place to put all of them.

Just using my M6ii i just have the impression it does not have the refinement that my 90 D has. That probably is why I have the feeling the M6ii was planned as a dead end.

My experience in my company is we can spin the products we put chips into much faster than the chip production schedules can change in the fabs.

of course i could be wrong in all this. it is just my guessing what it looks liked happened
