As for Nikon or any brand being more unreliable, I don't know. I have a friend who live of photography and shoots Nikon every day, never complained. I know a nature photographer, who shoots in jungle and desert and whatever all year long, he used to use Nikon, now uses Sony.

STAY AWAY FROM THOSE HERETICS!!!

400mm equivalent and a bigger sensor, don’t hold your breath. P&S cameras can have supertelephoto equivalent focal lengths because of the smaller sensors.


Everyone has different needs and preferences. Like you, I prefer wider for a walkaround lens/camera. I really like the 16-50mm (equivalent) range of my PowerShot V1 (enough so that I pre-ordered the RF 20-50/4 to use with my R8). Still, I understand that some people want/need a P&S with more range. Before my DSLR days began, I used an Olympus C-765 UZ, 4 MP with a 38-380mm (FF equivalent, 6x crop factor). One of the places it went with me was on a trip to Africa that included a safari in Tanzania and a visit with mountain gorillas in Rwanda.

Yeah, but.. Cameras without a viewfinder are so cumbersome to use with a long lens.

To me, Canon is more photography's Toyota - not always fashionable but very reliable As I posted multiple times here, my wife as a Nikonian has an extended gear that she caresses much more than I my Canon gear. But we had to send Nikon cameras and lenses so frequently to repair service (broken mirror box, dead buttons from a few drops of rain, several dead AF drives) that I learned: if you can compare in real life, you know why it is wise to stick with Canon. At least this applies if you need a really rugged gear for wildlife that simply works in harder environments. In the past 15-20 years I only had one repair with my original 7D (dead thumb wheel), that's it.

Well...no arguing just sharing my experinece.
I've always been using Canon. Since 2000, before that, my father's AE-1. 30V-D60-10D-20D-30D-40D-5D2-5D3-5D4-R7-R52. The only issue I had was with exposure button of....I don't remember, maybe 40D. I do remember it was a typical issue, others had it too. Does it mean Canon being very reliable? Maybe. At the same time what I see, is that camera users can take less than their camera. In hard conditions, ppl just have enough and go to shelter, sit in the airconditioned car or whatever. Most ppl are not Clint Eastwood enough to shoot in rain, cold wind, etc. They give up way sooner than their camera.

As for Nikon or any brand being less reliable, I don't know. I have a friend who live of photography and shoots Nikon every day, never complained. I know a nature photographer, who shoots in jungle and desert and whatever all year long, he used to use Nikon, now uses Sony.

Still hoping for a good zoom range around 400mm and it needs to have raw and a bigger sensor

I am not smart enough to grasp why anyone would want a telephoto on this. The form factor is not conducive for telephoto shots. I would prefer it to be wider than current camera. It is my walk around camera and a wider lens would be nice.

Canon just needs to make more super zoom or just good zoom around 400mm compact camera's with raw, travel buddies to take with you to everywhere there are already so much compact camera's with 2x or 3x zoom

Click to expand...

While I'd rather have a high quality 2X or 3X zoom than one of these mediocre superzooms. You simply cannot combine low cost, extreme focal variation, wide open aperture and high IQ.
Sure, it is tempting to have one single "does it all" lens, but there's often a drawback to accept, optical quality and aperture.
No free lunch!

No new 400/2,8+TC
No new lighter 28-70/2
No new 50-150/2
...this year?

That would be annoying!
