So you agree with me. They are appealing to their base.

Strategically speaking, Nikon did a very similar thing by announcing their 50mm f0.95, but offered much better entry level lenses into their new system. Olympus did a very similar thing with the ...

You mis-understand. I am questioning Canon's strategy of releasing flagship lenses as half the total lens releases on day one.

You are claiming people might get this camera for the potential Canon is demonstrating... But will ride themselves over with older tech. It isn't the most sensible point. Possibly, but I don't ...

For all your writing you have two practical lenses a federal purpose f4 zoom and a mediocre 35mm. The other two are statements. So you have to buy ef lenses, you really have no choice. Now ask ...

Proof of concept is fine. In fact it reminds me of Olympus approach with 43rds. Like I said their proof of concept will appeal mostly to their base, because they already have the ef lenses. Maybe ...

No there was nothing obvious about their lens choices. They don't rationalize why these three lenses we their first choice. Are you sure you actually read it?

I just flicked through it. It doesn't explain why the two main primes are an f1.2 $2k lens and a 35mm f1.8 macro...  Then a 28-70 f2 for $3k and their general f4 zoom. Compare that to Nikon's very ...

Here is a thought. Does the evidence that a whole slew of bodies with different build but the same failure suggest maybe you are doing something you shouldn't. Anecdotally I still have my ep2 and ...

I think you are doing Nikon a bit of a disservice. The z6 seems well priced, and combined with the 50mm f1.8 makes a very compelling case. The main reason I wouldn't move to that combo is that is ...

Are you in video or photo mode. Log mode or a standard setting? Really I don't know how people expect any help with so little information.

I completely understand that's what they "said"... But remember they also said IBIS would be a problem because of heat... Yet Voila, the GH5, with the massive Data rate increases had IBIS. I think ...

Panasonic always planned a FF camera for the same body shape. Considering the amount of accessories already available and owned by Panasonic users it would be a very sensible move. I am basically ...

Sure. But I am not convinced the Fuji looked better while it might have had less noise than the Panasonic it also looked softer... At least on my computer. The point was, it isn't better. It is ...

But why is your third set complaining about the f1.2 lenses??

Yup, but the comparison was because I had the lens and an 80D for an unrelated reason. And we do often get the buy and APSC body plus lens for more performance. My point was that this is not ...

My crop is of the sharpest spot in each of my examples. https://www.dpreview.com/forums/post/60900964 There are the full res images. It is just a soft lens wide open. The comparison of my son if ...

Mmmmm, it can. Or maybe I and most posters here already own a m43rds body, so you want them to buy another instead of buying just the lens.  Not rocket science you know, but maybe if I keep ...

I find how you read my very reasonable OP to be revealing. Let me write in the same tone as your second paragraph. We have two types of people here complaining about the f1.2 primes, thos who can ...

YOu are making the wrong comparison. I OWNED a m43rds camera when I bought the 25mm f1.2. The nonsense argument here is that INSTEAD of buying a 1.2 lens I should get a FF body PLUS lens. So, ...
