The budget user us hardly the mass market for prime lenses..

I also have an x-t30, with the idea of a smallish package and buying some small primes for hiking but even the cheaper prime lenses are...

The biggest issue for me would be less the smallish screen size, but that I'm used to working on 2 or even 3 screens (2 at home, 3 at work) and to imagine using only one permanently is, for me, a...

As a software engineer, everything I create or do during my employment belongs to my employer, after all they paid for it, right?

However, this is another country, legal system and profession so...

Yes, I know, I disagree with not using the FTZ adapter against the need to build a system for the future (for that next "trip of a lifetime"..).

Also, the Z6 ii has decent video, the 10 bit ...

Reading between the lines, i'd say video was more of a priority than implied
in the introduction to the article, although I also question some of the choices (Z5 or Z6ii for example)

I am not sure I understand the choice to consider the R6 but not the Z6 ii (in preference to the D750 sensor equipped Z5)?

The Z6ii is cheaper than the R6 (even the Z7 ii is only $500 more than...

I agree that a 500Pf (or 300PF with TC-14E III) would be ideal in many ways, but here (Switzerland) the rental of the 300m PF is around 32 Euros a day, which perhaps indicates a 50 euro a day cost ...

it's definitely worth it for the reach, and if you can carry it, it will make a difference. I think you'll find you even need more reach than 500mm, but depends what you like to do and whether it's ...

I like every single one, be happy and stop criticising ffs.

@r1975 - dumb conspiracy argument... Think about it - they'd only cripple something if they were compromising another product, there is no other product.. Plus, doubling the recording time...

@ viska, yes, that's the one I have. Good size and optics and value for money.

@ Raist3d, yes, that's true, but most of the zooms (and the f/1.4 primes) are quite expensive and i'm not sure the...

yes, but in Europe it costs WAY too much. Here in Switzerland the body&lens costs $1170 (admittedly with 7.7% sales tax), makes you wonder what they are smoking..

I wanted to buy an E-M10 IV for...

@Raist3d Yes, but you finance that with the price of the lenses later.. ;-)

I've never paid any more than the VAT rate when importing anything, plus the annoying charges from the carrier for having pre-paid the vat etc and their admin fee etc.

Perhaps, but a lot of people were hoping for a 100-400mm or 200-600mm and ultimately the announcement yesterday was just disappointing - more was expected.

ok, being consistent then, the price here is 1249 CHF inc 7.7% Vat. That's 1160.- CHF without Vat, which is $1300. Still too much in my opinion..

Unfortunately, whilst I don't think $999 is in any way a bargain (sign of the times..), it's even more expensive here (Switzerland) where the recommended retail price is around $1400. What a ripoff..

The main issue right now being that they don't yet make native lenses for newer mirrorless cameras from Nikon or Canon.

Some quite promising and reasonably priced DG lenses for Sony, which I hope...

@YuryVilin the iPhone my GF has cost exactly the same as my D7200+18-140mm kit. One takes better pictures but the other is also pretty good, but can't do the same however hard you try, each has...

When was FF Digital ever affordable for many? (and not everybody needed it..)

However, FF is arguably cheaper now than it has ever been..
