Seriously. I shoot Fujifilm now but used to shoot Canon APSC and would have stayed on board if they had a m/less camera that had both an EVF AND a silent shutter in the M series (they do not.)

Just been looking at the R10 and 18-45mm slow lens by random chance not because I want one or will leave Fujifilm.

Have to say I'd take an M5 or M50 any day over that....

Seems like a step backwards the M range was small, light, good IQ and had some cool lenses like the 22mm F2 and 32mm f1.4... the nice 11-22mm, add maybe a 56mm F1.4....

They should have kept the M line going and kept bringing out new dedicated APSC lenses!

The R10 is both ugly and huge!

Just my 2p

That's trying, at least for a while, to have 4 different mount systems with their own lenses. M and R mirrorless and ff and aps-c dslr systems, which aren't fully cross compatible.

Ah yeah hadn't thought of that, although an M to R adapter may have been possible?

Outside of Fuji, it seems that Sony, Nikon and Canon would like to wean off the aps-c users who like the smaller, lighter and less expensive product lines and shove them into the larger and higher priced ff world.

This is why I stay with Fuji. I was happy enough with Canon EF-S before I had fuji they do a little better than the others especially than Nikon with dedicated APSC lenses like the 10-18, 24mm F2.8, 35mm F2.8 macro etc but they're not quite as attractive as fuji lenses which tend to be at least a stop or two faster

I do understand the logic behind this is APSC users don't need fancy lenses and pros all go FF etc

Still, it's not insanity. T'was annoying if you're a customer wanting to build a "good enough" APS-C system, but seen from Canon's point of view it's business savvy.

Good for Fuji, though.
 
You realise I do not believe a collective whole corporate business is literally clinicily insane? ;)

You gotta read between the lines and be a bit non literal in life sometimes right?

Peace

Or you might weigh your words more carefully — hyperbole and peace don't go well together. Peace on you too ;-)

Nah I think most people get that most things aren't written strictly literally.

For example one camera or lens doesn't actually develop a set of lungs and then literally blow another out of a body of water that it is in, yet people still write figuratively

I wish you amazing peace. See it does go together :)

People with taste buy Fujifilm, the rest just buy Canon.

Half of the buyers have been doing that for the last 21 years.

No, Fujifilm has a 6% market share.

Clearer now ?

Sure, you're saying 94% of us have no taste.

And the rest mostly buy Leica stuff, so where exactly does that leave Fujifilm? Truth be told, the only place I see Fujifilm gear is on the internet.

Frankly, that's no surprise - if you spend your entire life on the internet as you do, Rambow, you won't have much of a chance of seeing anything outside of it :-D

Visit any European tourist photo hotspot, and you'll be seeing them a-plenty!
