It is not "radical new technology".
I heard the same about "the entire market focus is shifting over to" APS film 20 years ago. Turned out to be a fad.

They said that Digital would never replace film either. So what we "heard" has no bearing on this particular case.
...Time is up for the DSLR.
Who were those "they"? Do you know any actual person who would say so?They said that Digital would never replace film either.
Eventually, we will all die.Mirrorless cameras will replace DSLRs because they will, eventually,
And lucrative.Building duplicate complex AF systems (one for live view, one for mirror shooting) is complex and expensive.
That's easy to guarantee, as "mark 6" would be a stupid name anyway. Still, we may see EOS 3D and EOS 3D mark II.I'm sure there will be a 1DX III, 5DV etc in the DSLR lineup, but you won't see a 5D Mark 6 DSLR, I think we can pretty much guarantee it.
Time from launch of consumer-level DSLRs to the end of Kodachrome – 9 years. Time since the launch of popular MILCs – 10 years.
The prediction was that time would be up for the DSLR in 5 years...back in 2012. I guess we missed it.
yes. Had customers been given free choice between mirrorfree and mirrorslapper from the time when first Sony A7 appeared [2013] also by Canon and Nikon, then mirrorslappers would already be a thing of the past, except maybe a final goodbye round of Nikon D5 / Canon 1DX successors. But Nikon and Canon managed to block and stall things and sell 3 more marginal iterations of mirrorslappers to customers. Luckily they are paying a price for it. Less and less customers have been willing to fall for it. Most are smarter than Canon and Nikon together and switched to Sony or just have held off buying slappers and legacy lenses.
Yeah, yeah, yeah.

Hi There
I'm a Canon shooter since ages and no - Canon is not doomed ;-) I have a number of professional bodies from Canon and a lot of L lenses and also recently purchased a m50.
I also have to say i still love the Canon lenses, the ergonomics of the bodies, DPAF (well i don't do a lot of video other than just for fun) the wifi implementation - the last 2 sucks on Nikon or are just not existent.
Also for various reasons until very lately i would never consider to move on to Sony (ergonomics,lenses,....) and thanks to Nikon with the z6/z7 i now dont need to think about switching to Sony anyway. ( i would rather switch to NIkon but i dont want to)
BUT today with the z6/z7 i really feel left behind. Why ?
In the DSLR line of products i think Nikons current models really are ahead compared to the Canon models, the D850 is better than my 5DM4/5DsR (i love my 5Dsr but still ...) , the D500 ist better than the 7DMII (which i owned and i tested the D500) even the D7500 (with some "issues like only 1 card and not grip option) is better than the 80D (i've tested them both - except video AF and Wifi as said before). Only the D5/1DX MII are probably on par.
If i had nothing and wanted a DSLR - i would go for a D850, a APS-C affordable sports camera - i would pick the D500 and a small carry around every day Dslr - the D7500 or even D5600.
And instead i would like to go mirrorless - i would pick the Z6 and a D850 as a combo.
I don't want to change but please Canon respond quickly and do it right in terms of features and price. Please. Give us a great FF mirrorless that has 2 card slots and eye-AF , a great sensor and a good EF adapater and a nice line up of original lenses at the beginning , 10fps, good grip/handling/weather sealed - even steal from z6/z7 body if required ;-) like the battery compatibility between Dslr and mirrorless camera. Also give us a 90D that is better than the rest of the market (and make it without AA filter please) and give us a 5DM5 that is on par or better than the D850. Please. At least tell us when we will get it so i don't have to switch early in 2019. Please.
Yeah, yeah, yeah.

I've had SD cards fail, CF cards fail, SD cards physically break (including, annoyingly, a Sandisk Extreme Pro 256GB where a piece of plastic broke off the front of the card and it now won't fit into the card slot properly - I am going to try and hack it back to life.), and CF slots break (pins bent or snapping off)
Considering the low cost of memory these days, wouldn't it be sensible if instead of a dual card system cameras came with some reasonable amount (32GB/64GB/128GB) of high speed flash memory built-in and a single card slot as a backup/expansion?
Just connect the camera via USB to export images as normal. It also means you could never take your camera out and forget to bring a card with you. Also, by using direct memory and avoiding any card interface you should be able to get very fast performance.
The focus is not locked, only the exposure...still it sucks compared to my A9....but nothing will touch the A9 for a long time...likely never as an A9II will come out for the Olympics and CaNikon may not even want to target that market of sports/action/wildlife for a long while (if ever)....It's rubbish at high speed bursts: 9 fps but the focus is locked after the first frame and you are getting AF at every frame only at 5.5 fps.- that's only 0.5 fps faster than a 5DS. Sony is streets ahead: R10 IV, 24 fps; A9 20 fps; and A7RIII 10 fps, with AF between each shot. Also, there is no means of toggling between different AF modes as you can with Sony. The Z7 might be enough to keep Nikon users on board but it is second rate. Let's hope Canon can do better.
I only kind of feel behind with the announcement of 500 f/5.6 defractive optics lens at 3600. I do have the 400 DO II which is FANTASTIC but I do not feel confident with the 1.4XIII with it. I would like to have access to a longer DO lens. I have read about 600 DO f/4 a couple of years ago but that lens would weigh a lot more than 400 DO (obviously) and it would have a rather big (600/4 = 15cm+ construction) front element. A 600 5.5 DO lens would be more practical. It would be the perfect birding lens. Anything else is satisfying for me (5D4, 5DsR, white lenses, UWA, etc)
IBIS, completely silent shooting options, and short flange distances to allow you to adapt to many different lenses. You might not benefit from some of these options, but there's many people who value these options.
reported. It appears you are consciously attacking any of my postings with a totally off-topic attack and/or lame attempts to mock and ridicule it.
