"If we can't lead, we will follow!!!! If we are going to be late to the party - then we will blame it on more research needed"!!!!

Canon does lead with the only thing that matters....50% market...

For all their "innovation" Sony has not yet built their own service/repair facilities in America as far as I know. Until they are on a par with Canon and Nikon in terms of support and repair I will...

Do you believe any of the numbers about shipments?

@osv Do you believe the people claiming that using an EVF gives them a headache?

@osv I have copied and pasted my original post regarding your claim. I stand by my original statement that mirrorless is less expensive only if they do not have a viewfinder.
"I call BS unless you...

@osv Please let me know what the numbers REALLY mean when they say mirrorless was down 15.8% and DSLR was up .1% To this simple math major that seems to say mirrorless sold a whopping 15.8% less...

@RubberDials you are commenting without reading. Here is EXACTLY what I said:

The last time I looked at the real world Canon had about a 50% share, Nikon had about a 25% share and Sony had about a...

@osv So with your supreme knowledge of what the CIPA numbers mean please let me know what the numbers REALLY mean when they say mirrorless was down 15.8% and DSLR was up .1% To this simple math...

@T3 Apparently you did not read a word of my post so I will try again.
You are correct, Sony COULD lose money on cameras and stay in the market, but their latest CEO seems to not agree with that...

@RubberDials You have to admire the Sony fanboys and their ability to ignore the real world."Canon and Nikon aren't the big boys - they're the little boys. "

The last time I looked at the real...

@T3 Sony's one trick pony is mirrorless as you just pointed out.

You are correct, Sony COULD lose money on cameras and stay in the market, but their latest CEO seems to not agree with that...

Since you did not show a quote where I said "since YOU stated that evf is bad for the eye" you can either retract your statement or you are a liar.

Having CONCERNS is different that making a...

@osv So there is no difference in profits and volume between cameras with a viewfinder and without a viewfinder.....fascinating argument ;-)
To say mirrorless is more profitable per camera than...

@BaeckerX1 So true! I screwed up on that one :-) I did say however that I was a math major so do I get a mulligan?

@osv Another Ad hominem attack. You clearly realize you are losing the argument. If you do not understand that there is a difference in sales volumn and profits between different classes of cameras...

@osv Where did I say EVF was bad for your eye? Please show a quote where I said that, retract your statement, or be branded a liar.

I said I had concerns about the use of an EVF. Having CONCERNS...

@osv Your quote does NOT prove mirrorless has a higher profit margin for cameras WITH A VIEWFINDER! The product mix is obviously different since DSLRs by definition must have a viewfinder. Your...

@osv Since you are convinced my concerns are spurious, why don't you do science a favor and place your eye an inch from your TV for hours on end and report back to us.

@osv You are the fanboy for making false claims about profitability for mirrorless. Please show evidence of your claim about mirrorless having a higher margin. Your claim is ONLY TRUE if there is...
