@kodacolor200 I would say that any salesperson who manages to convince a customer for a 6DII to RP upgrade deserves a pay raise.

Marco:
I can imagine the Z6 eating into the A73 sales, and the Z7 into the A7R3 sales.

Can you clarify, into the sales of what Sony camera will this one eat into - A73? A7R3? A6400?

@Grummbeerbauer: absolutely, with your investment in lenses, this camera totally makes sense.

Kandid: If you are starting from scratch, the A7RII + Tamron 28-75/2.8 is $2600. Compares rather advantageously to the $2400 RP kit with the native lens.

Grummbeerbauer: This line of reasoning assumes that you have a lot of full frame EF lenses that are worth preserving (eg a 5D4 owner with a full kit). I might be wrong, but that kind of user might...

xeppelin: Ok, I stand corrected. I can understand how it can serve as a replacement to the 5D3.

Grummbeerbauer: The competition to the $2400 Canon RP kit is something like the Sony A73 + Tamron 28-75/2.8 $2600 (or the A7R2, same price).

Sony has quite a gap between the $1800 A73 and the $1000 A72. Something could fit there.

Ok, I got it, it is priced right. If it would have been announced at $1699 and lowered later, it would have not made any splash.

Still, what do you people think: who is this camera for? It is a...

Anyone wondering where do we go from here? Put the camera on a motorized tripod, initiate tracking on a given player in game or the bride in a wedding, keep tracking and taking pictures of him /...

A pleasant set of pictures capturing the feel of a vacation.

I wish I had something like this in the 80s and 90s. The "two rolls of film" on the SRL I tended to come home were both qualitatively...

What about thinking this through the point of view of the wedding couple, who ordered the pictures and will ultimately pay for it. They are, very likely, citizens of the city. They pay local taxes....

> The EOS R is not a superstar, but it will do okay in the real world, for the 12 months Canon needs it to, and there will be future, more varied, more competitive RF mount cameras.

Well, we will...

Even in long games there are critical moments. This is not a growing market, and this is the moment of transition. For this holiday season, the Canon R is $2400, the Sony A7RIII is $2800, the A7RII...

Geerlings,
I assume that you see some kind of performance advantage for the 6D on some dimension. What would that be?

ThomasIII: you seem to imply that there is some kind of *mystical* advantage to the specialized chips, like let us say the Google tensor processing unit compared to general purpose GPUs. There...

DerKeyser: The difference between the current neural engine (claimed to be 5TFlops) and other up-to-date ARM model's GPUs is maybe 2x. It is about half of an NVidia 1080Ti (although of course, you...

Rensol: is the image created by a 1.4 / 85 lens wide open "natural"?

I thought that "creativity" is about creating something new.

"Set your exposure mode to A, rotate the dial until wide open, then focus on the eye" - I don't think that is creativity. It is just...
