I agree. I can't see any other eventuality than a Sony and Panasonic top two five years from now. Canon isn't going to go anywhere but they will be increasingly marginalised by their...

@Oskar

Did you read the article? It's a half year in the US, which is the biggest market, not 'two weeks'.

@Jerome

They will introduce the first aps-c G Master lens with the pro camera - I guarantee it.

@Oskar P

"Sony does NOT out sell Canon."

Actually it does. Sony has 40% of the US FF market compared to 33% for Canon and 26% for Nikon. Sony leads in both units sold and dollar value.

(scroll up to see the schematic).

Canon has employed this already in their EF wideangles - the 35/1.4LII is a good example - so it is dishonest of them to imply - as I believe they are...

@Carey Rose

Thanks for the link - I hadn't seen that document. Is it part of the EOS R press pack?

It outlines the principles underlining telecentric design and is essentially a piece of...

@Barney

"Designing for cameras with a shorter flange back and no mirror in the way does, in fact, give lens engineers considerable freedom when designing some kinds of lenses."

Sorry Barney I...

"Since one of the promises of the RF mount is freedom to make better optics, we thought it made sense to check whether the RF 50mm F1.2L outperforms the EF 85mm F1.8 USM that's served...

@Sergey

"Customers have been yelling for better ergonomics for years."

Sorry, but they haven't. I don't know anyone in the Sony community who is unhappy with the handling of the cameras, let...

@ZeBito

It's no secret that a pro aps-c and an A7sIII are coming, which is why DPR ask questions about them. I think it's quite likely that the aps-c camera will be called the A9000 too.

Dave, I bought the first A-mount Camera in 1985, and the second. I've owned 12 over the years as well as many lenses. I still have three cameras. Seriously, Sony doesn't owe us anything. They...

@WasTF

Your post is misleading where it is not inaccurate.

•The XQD slot may be faster than the UHS-II, but the Nikon has a smaller buffer and slower frame rate.
•DPR found the Nikon's face...

"Therefore they had to make the cameras which would be better than Sony and IN THE SAME TIME worse than current DSLR cameras."

Your thesis is ridiculous. They've just changed their...

@Per

They've just replaced their mount and register. It's now 16mm, so they don't intend to make any more DSLRs.

So if their mirrorless AF is not competitive with their DSLR AF or competing...

@Jean

"better body design.construction, ergonomics,"

How are you arriving at this? What comparative testing has been done?

"better EVF"

They use the same panel. The Nikon has a slightly higher...

"The z7 and 35mm 1.8 just broke the resolution record by quite a bit."

What does this mean? What is the 'resolution record'. Please elaborate.

@Stu 5

Isn't it just that his conclusions are more in line with what you think?

If you are in the market for a high res mirrorless camera and want it to be the Z7 and not the A7rIII, I would say...
