Here we go again. Another thread where consumers get to defend a giant corporation from being criticized by other consumers who want other consumers and themselves to have choices. Just weird.

Speaking as someone who is actually familiar with giant corporations let me just say that Canon is a mid sized company besieged by freeloaders, and they are fighting back! As for consumers, they do have choices, just not necessarily the exact choices they may want. Such is life.

Speaking as someone who has worked in five Fortune 100 companies, Canon is struggling to compete with the Sony FF ecosystem and the sooner they open up to third-party lens manufacturers, the more first-time FF buyers they will lure into the Canon system because price points can become more competitive, which removes the significant first-time ownership barrier.
