@Olymore, et al - People keep harping the market share. But you folks check two things:
1 - Look at the current FS of Canon the past 2 quarters. Market share due to selling M cameras is up, but...

@AlexisH - you should be concerned with what Olympus does. The fact that 3 companies are entering the 35FF means that it is an important market and it could spell the survival of a firm. Do you...

@Edgar_in_Indy - correct! It's as if 99% of the population want, need, and can even afford a U$6000 f0.95 lens! And for something that much without even AF! And people forget how heavy and large...

People use the expression, "elephant in the room." But what if instead you don't find the animal you expect in the room? That is what I have to ask myself as Olympus seems to be left out of the...

Panasonic is smart - tthey are targetting the events/wedding pros. Just like Sony did with the A7-3. The lenses first to be out is the give-away. The only thing it lacks is a 16-35 f2.8, but I am...

The A7-3 is not even 1 year old. It's just 9.5 months old. Give another 2 years for it to come out. Or at least end of 2019 or just under 2 years if it is really needed. As it is, the Z and R ...

Some people better stop thinking this way. 1 - Panasonic did not say they will stop MFT. 2 - To stop it next year or even 5 years from now is foolish. Why? because if your 35FF is in the U$3000 or ...

It is the right move. In today's fast moving world, you can't sit in your R&D lab for 3 years to get all of the things right before bringing it to the market. Maybe for some thing like global ...

I disagree with that, because to a point you can do that, but in does tax the lens to show how good it is and if you factor all else in, Plus the costs - A7R-3 is around U$3,000 give or take. We ...

That is debatable. What use is 42mp if you can't get the right shot of a BIF because your framerate is just 8fps with AF? Even 10fps in some conditions is not good enough to get the wings just ...

Sorry, I meant 4TB, my mind was in old auto type mode and didn't differentiate in-camera and external storage! :) And I meant GB for camera storage and TB for HDD storage. Either way, you are still ...

This is all open for discussion. I think in the long run Canikon is not in the position to compete. Not with their attitude and perception of the market. One of the formidable ones. Fuji, Sony, and ...

Oh, there will be discounting, that is for sure. If the rumors are true that the 45mp Panasonic will cost U$3,000 (with IBIS and 4k-60p too), that puts pressure on Nikon's Z7 and future A7S-3 to ...

I don't see file sizes as a problem. SDXC cards are not expensive anymore, unless you want the fastest. The A7-3 can shoot raw about 60-70 frames and I doubt if you will shoot that much for a ...

I bet they'll be more impressed to see a Canon lens on a Panasonic body using adapters of course!

Not an option. That would earn the ire of many. It's a many step back. And if you are going to charge maybe U$1,300-1,500 for the a7xxx, that would be a serious omission. The A7 is full of bugs. If ...

3 things. 1 - The XT-3 is in the drawing board for maybe 1 year. So, it's not as if they flinched and had to rush out with something as a reaction only. You can see that it is well thought of and ...

More to the point, any company needs both sensor sizes to survive. But the 2 systems can be linked so there is synergy even if the sizes are a bit big. A 45mp camera in MFT crop mode maybe is a ...

I think you are underestimating the value aps-c sized sensor. And you seem to have glossed the specs/performance capabilities of the new Fuji XT-3. If that were a 35FF camera, that would trounce ...

First, let me congratulate you on your success in the field of photography. You seem to have done very well. 2nd, the whole thing is not so much as  a chess match as a footrace. And not only 1 is ...
