@tripodcat If I may make a suggestion, do NOT depend on internet "reviews" for the purchase of your camera. Go into a camera store with a memory card and actually USE the cameras you are interested...

Yes so he could get an 8...

@fatdeeman No I think sales figures don't care about statistical superiority but sales and profits certainly matter if you intend on staying in business.

@BlueBomberTurbo "Then Canikon should be quaking in their boots"
How old are you...quaking in their boots.....really :-) A lot of claims, how about some links to year long world wide sales figures.

Because even Sony lovers admit the A7 and A7II were bad cameras to use. The a7III series are the only ones to consider.

@Love Photography 888

If the Canon produces numbers as good as Trump has with the economy and unemployment I will buy a dozen of them.

@fatdeeman"What do sales have to do with anything except money?"

How about staying in business and not going the way of Yashica or Minolta?

@PWPhotography I guess that is your admission that the camera has not been tested yet....just as I said originally.

So a Canon at $1300 is a desperate effort but a Sony for $2000 is brilliant...

@PAntunes

Pleas provide a link showing those excellent Sony sales figures, especially world wide.
Thanks

@PWPhotography

No, they said it had a SIMILAR sensor. At the very least the microlenses are different, maybe more differences after the test. Why can't you read.
Again, they have not actually...

@PWPhotography Where is the test? I read the article, did you? They have not tested the camera yet. I looked at the comparison tool and it is not available. The sensor is "similar" to the 6dii. I...

"A7 II DR blows RP or 6D II sensor out of water." Who cares? The vaunted DR advantage is only important if you are viewing transmitted light like your monitor. Reflected light paper prints only...

"Poor 6D II sensor + poor battery life" How do you know? I have not seen a test of the camera yet. Please point out the link with sensor performance and battery life. Thanks

Take a look at the comparison tool and throw the Canon 5DSR into the mix using RAW. Very interesting indeed.

@Camera Rubbing You resort to childish name calling and call me an idiot :-) From the rubbish you pedal I would guess you are a teenager living at home. It is obvious you know NOTHING about the...

"And then Canon are left to lick up the worthless volume at the backside of the market, dripping with everyone else’s leftovers."

Is that why Canon continues to lead in sales and profits as a...

@Kharan Sony Imaging includes a LOT besides cameras. I don't follow Sony but doesn't the imaging division include the sensors they sell to the phone companies? Sensors, entertainment, and...

@Camera Rubbing Your comments are "interesting" when compared to the real world. Sony had their 6000 and kit lens on sale for almost 2 months over the holidays for $498 although it has gone back up...

@Camera Rubbing I thought mirrorless was a booming market....we are talking about Canon being the largest selling mirrorless in Japan you know. "The A mount may be dying but the Canon M is the best...

@Kharan Yes, that is why it is not advisable to buy lenses for slow selling systems. It is better to stick to something like the best selling mirrorless system in Japan....Canon
