Thanks for confirming my statement that you define advancement based solely on your personal wants.
Opinion ≠ data. Data = data. People who believe their opinions represent facts deserve to be called crazy.
If the folks who have clamored for more DR or better FF video performance have eschewed Canon, and if those groups comprised a 'considerable number' of people, Canon's market share would have suffered. It hasn't. So either all the DRones and discerning FF ILC videographers are just spouting off here but buying Canon cameras anyway...or what you believe to be a 'considerable number' is, in reality, irrelevant. My money is firmly on the latter. But you go right on inflating the importance of your own opinion...reality hasn't changed it so far.
You're welcome- as do you! Once again, however, you totally mischaracterize the debate and it is no surprise. And exhibit your
personal opinion, which is that data and sales are the answer to every forum discussion and feature request.
Yes, you, too, are pushing a
personal agenda, one in data and sales are the answer to every question, so best for Canon to be lazy and not include features to expand the marketable demographic of who purchases cameras to
expand marketshare.
My argument is that they could have made
more money and have served their customers better, not simply play to the lowest common denominator by making the least effort. Canon left money on the Sony FF MILC table and they know it, which is why they have fast-tracked so many RF lenses and MILC bodies. This makes sense to most people.
As far as data goes, you only have to look at the recent (incorrect) info about Canon EOS-R Raw video recording and how excited people got over it to see how they could expand their marketshare with the video centric/hybrid crowd.
The real data here is that being obtuse and only spouting sales and data as the answer to every feature request to make a better Canon product is not solution, only a lazy and ineffectual response.
