So why did they market it as an 8K full frame camera?
It has been a month since the camera was announced (almost) and you guys still whine about it.
I usually don't get into this kind of argument because I don't find it productive what so ever.
Looking at different media over the internet, I noticed that some people are screaming so that they can be heard. They simply wants attention because they are incapable of getting followers. They simply want more views. They create tension so that more people would comment. "R5 is unfit for purpose": who are you that you decide for the planet what is the purpose of R5?
Some people, are like a girl with daddy issue. Puts the blame on childhood because is incapable of producing something meaningful. Puts video out there but only 100 people are watching it. Let's bash Canon R5 so that we can get more followers.
Some people lack self esteem, bully others in order to feel important. Canon is this, Canon is that, and 12MP is perfect for me.
Some people just want to let their frustration from being locked down on anything that comes their path. Grabs one weakness of the camera and blows it out of proportion in order to free up some of his frustration.
What is really the purpose of the complaints? If you want Canon to do something about it, simply send them a message.
The way I see it is very simple; finally Canon bit the crap out of someone, that they have to send their wolves all over the media to defend their stinky daddy. Someone told me once; the higher you go, the louder the critics.
If you don't like a product, buy something else, regardless of their marketing. You knew about it before it was in your hand, they were opened about it, yet you still cannot afford to go somewhere else. Please explain to me, why? Are you one of the aforementioned people?
If nothing is better than this, then why it is a bad camera? By definition, it is the best. Not perfect, but the best. If that is the case then say it.
If it is the only photographic that does 8K, then it is the only one that can do what you need. Not the way you want it, but the only one. It never existed before, and now you have one. Why then the cry out? would you feel better not having it at all?
People were capable of creating something fantastic before, you have now a better gear, and you act like all the past great tools were gone and you left with the crappiest camera. The only explanation to me is simply because you are one of these wolves. That is a crappy job.
Why am I defending it? because it is the only 45MP photo camera with EVF/OVF and shoots 4K full frame and crop.
I do agree, that Canon might listen to people's complain on the net. No proof of that though. Is that what motivates you?
