Or else. Or else what? Exactly.
Nikon certainly missed the mark in some key areas.I have hopeful that you are correct but fear that they will miss the mark in one or more areas.
Likewise for Sony, although I don't think it's using in-lens stabilization to augment IBIS for a combined 5 axes. Rather, the camera needs to know focal length and subject distance for full support, and not all lenses can provide that data.You can expect the same from Canon, (presumably) IBIS of three stops, and works with exiting OS lenses to give 5 stops in combination.....
[/edit]“It needs focal length and focal distance to provide the correct image stabilization,” [Sony's Mark] Weir said. “This is standard with everyone’s system as far as we understand it.”
However, the way that it works is totally different for lenses that can communicate with the camera and those that cannot.
“If the lens can communicate the information to the system and the system can understand it, then the system can provide all of the stabilization information,” said Mr. Weir. “In the case that the lens does not provide electronic communication, the user can manually enter in the focal length.”
But in that case, the camera can still only have the focal length input, and not the focal distance–which has to do with how far away from the sensor the lens is. From the focal length information, it can figure out the right amount of pitch and yaw to provide. However, roll compensation doesn’t require any information from the lens because it is always available. Roll compensation is all based on how the user moves the camera around as you can see in the graph above.
“The behavior of the system is largely dependent on the lens. The lens bears a responsibility if it’s going to enjoy five axis stabilization. It needs to provide focal length and focal distance to the system. But we put in a provision for you to manually put in the focal length. But you cannot put in focus distance. We thought that would be pretty cumbersome.”
You are perhaps being a bit too literal.
I am NOT describing or suggesting a classic split image rangefinder. It's not a Leica...
Repeat, NOT a rangefinder in the classic sense.
Just the shape is clearly reminiscent of those marvelous cameras of old...but just reminiscent, not a copy.
Although, when one considers how DPAF works, it is the electronic equivalent of the opto-mechnical split image rangefinder.
And that split image is a very effective tool for presenting in and out of focus. It wouldn't be a bad paradigm for presentation in the EVF.
Nice. I hope Tamron continues to develop reasonably sized prime lenses. I love some of the new Sigma lenses (like this 105), but they are too big to just throw in the bag and bring along.My brother! Dude, I actually bought both of those lenses due to your very thorough and very informative reviews of them. I love both these lenses and the 45 never leaves my 6DII. Thank you for the work you do. I find it quite helpful to myself, and I'm sure to the community, as well.

I noticed no one compared the nikon z7 to the 5d in size. I grabbed a pictures online from the same websites, opened up fusion 360, calibrated the sensor size(only point of reference that should be the same), and lined them up. Looks to me the mount is smaller then the canon ef mount!
This is in no way scientific just a noob with fusion 360 playing around(i design stuff to 3d print).
If I did this correctly I wonder if a medium format sensor can really fit in there!

dang that camera is small!
10 inches
I see no point in Mirror-less unless there smaller and lighter,.Let’s assume that Canon releases the mirrorless FF camera within the next year, and it will be something like a mirrorless 5D or 6D-series. Will they do a crop sensor version as well? Something like a mirrorless 7D? The M5 and M50 are nice, but they really are too small for my liking, especially with larger lenses. Will it matter if they stick with the EF/EF-S mount for the FF or not? If they do, there will be three crop camera lens alternatives. What do you think?
What happens if Nikon enters the market on one end of FF and Canon enters on the opposite, i.e. a pricey mirrorless D850 comes out around the same time as a modest mirrorless 6D2, or the D610 line is refreshed as a $1999 mirrorless setup while Canon puts out some $4k 5DS2 flavored mirrorless rig?
Curious to see (if Canon and Nikon don't enter the market with multiple price points right away) if people freak out that the first offering is all they are going to get and it wasn't the price point / feature set that they've wanted.
Would either company publicly reassure folks that 'this is just the first body and others are coming' or will they button their lips to get folks to focus their wallets on what is currently being released?
