Don't think Canon will response to a hyped product for gear lovers who just want high-tech toys. Canon knows people are buying tools for photography.

But no new gears mean no new revenue to make up for the dwindling revenue streams from existing gear sales. Not a good sign.

The sentence was taken out of the context. If you actually read and understood what he said in the blog, you would understand it meant to be a complement.

Yep, misleading title. They are NOT the same sunset!

Just hope that Ricoh surprises everybody with something out of the blue in the next few weeks. The digital camera business is under management's watch and what happens, or doesn't happen for that ...

If you just look at Pentax cameras , you can see that one DSLR, whatever that will be, is missing for the year. Ricoh needs the revenue from another new DSLR to fill the gap that KP can't quite ...

Ricoh just teased us with the release of Theta V yesterday. Maybe something will happen next week. :)

Not as bad as the "humor" news in recent days.

Yes, I want to buy one with all of those you mentioned and can talk with for $599 too. :)

If the rumored G1X III isn't full APS-C sensor, I may replace G1X with it.

I think you do better with your phone. Forget the M's. With G1X I can only do something like this and I need a tripod and an ND filter, which is built-in fortunately.

Even an Android phone is too much for me to handle that I have to resort to a Point-N-Shoot G1X. Curiously, just which Android do you use? I don't do mountain climbing but just day hikes, like ...

An M will certainly save you some weight and volume in your backpack. I currently carry G1X and a mini tripod for my hiking. G1X has a 1.5" sensor (80% of APS-C) and I am thinking of upgrading it ...

Yes, that focus range (15-43mm) is a step back from G1X II. A G1X II follow-up with such a lens specs will be a failure product the instance it gets out of the door even if Canon gives it DPAF.  ...

A product with three service advisories for the same problem looks as bad as an outright recall. You can't sugar coat it.

Yes, completion is good for users. Nikon D850's $3300 price is going to hammer down Canon 5DIV's price big time!

Maybe an EVF? One vital adjustment step during the DSLR manufacturing process is to align the image sensor and AF sensor. Because nobody can do it to perfection, the solution is to offer user "AF ...

Hmm, now the idea of Zenit working with Ricoh makes more sense to me.

Interesting history.

Don't think I did. But now that you mention it, the possibility (of Zenit, or somebody, buying Pentax) is there. Maybe Zenit has a hidden agenda behind the announcement. Yep, I am starting a rumor. :)
