No. I don't understand why people constantly come here to talk of another brand offering everything they want or need, but never switching if that is the case. The camera is a tool. Buy the tool you say you want or need. If people seriously think they'll get a clone of brand X in a Canon... well, I just think that's silly. Ain't gonna happen. Ever. Your present 60D is far outclassed by any of Canon's FF offerings. If that isn't apparent and the Sony checks all the boxes for you, then why not the Sony? Hoping Canon releases your individual dream camera is a pipe dream.
I’m not jumping ship. This is a hobby for me. I love tech toys, in general, but I don’t see the value in going from one brand to another given my position in the photo world. Overall, I like Canon a lot as a brand. I like how aggressive they are with their lens development, and I wish they would share that same energy with their bodies. The last year has really shown some great lens releases but the bodies have been mostly meh. For the RP, I’m not asking for weather sealing, higher FPS, insane autofocus speeds or even eye AF. In fact, I prefer to not see them on the RP to keep the costs and weight down. I’ve only mentioned Sony’s A73 as a marker for what you can get at a price point. Granted I don’t ever expect Canon to offer all of the A73’s features at that price, but it can’t be ignored.
Also, I’m very aware all of the current Canon offerings outclass my current body but again the cost:value isn’t there for me. I’ve really resisted getting a FF camera the last few years, so I can get wider angles and also to start making larger prints. However, just b.c I want a better body and a better body is available doesn’t mean I should feel compelled to buy it.
Wanting a better sensor instead of one that’s 2 years old really isn’t that much to ask for or expect in a brand new product. Maybe you shouldn’t expect everyone to be such a diehard fan of everything Canon releases and that unpopular products (a sensor in this case) that get re-released are going to remain unpopular. The RP looks almost perfect on paper (I don’t like the AF-on button position but could live with it) except for the possibility of the 6D2 sensor being employed and would pre-order it, if the sensor were improved. That is all. I’m not going to re-emphasize this point any further but hope you can at least understand that perspective or more importantly hope Canon can.
