Sony has shown that mirrorless AF can work, but it's not for everyone. We simply do not know the future plans of Canon and Nikon. I have said a couple of times that I think the hybrid 90D like situation may be a way forward for a particular market, and we might be seeing DSLRs for far longer than many here have confidently predicted their imminent death.
Is that all - come on, give them a real challenge at least!
They dropped the 7D line, folks just assumed it was merged into the XXD series. Not so. It was never an official Canon intention but culturally it happened. So, like most things, there's no convincing some people.
I think that may be the case as well. The ability to view a landscape image I have just captured in the viewfinder would be a major advantage for me, but I will be sticking with mirrored camera's until Canon release a suitable mirrorless camera with similar dimensions (for ease of use), weight (for balance when using EF lenses. I won't be upgrade them in a harry) and robustnance to my 5D mk IV. If the R II and similar R type cameras continue to be smaller and lighter than there mirrored equivalent's I will be in a similar position to the pro nature photographers I mentioned, so would sticking with mirrored camera's for as long as possible.
your views are delusional, why are you still here if you went to Sony? Leave then.
Thank you for this! I finally have a use for the bar and a simple way to review and rate photos.
Canon needs a faster pace. Today's market is too dynamic for 5-year releases.
I think its 4 years on the top of the line models.
it all depends upon sales. With DSLR sales dropping between 20-30% every year, there will come a point where it makes no financial sense to put so much money into new body and lens designs. If they space out new cameras to five, or even six years, but space out mirrorless designs to every three or four, those DSLRs will get dated very quickly, dropping sales even more quickly.
Very useful to me. Right tap I turn the histogram on or off. Left tap and I turn the level on or off. For the first couple of months I thought it was useless too. Enjoy it now.
I think he’s actually left about four or five times now. Isn’t this the latest reincarnation of AvTvM ?
The general decline in camera sales largely due to the popularity of Smartphone cameras at the lower end of the market accounts for much of that, the key will be how quickly/many enthusiast and pro photographer make the switch to the mirrorless R mount cameras. Until Canon release a bigger, heavier, more robust mirrorless camera that won't be me.
It won’t be me either. Right now, I’m still happy with my 5Dmk IV. But that happiness wanes as time goes by. I also admit that I’m slavering over the 28-70 f2.
Exactly. Canon remains the clear and overwhelming choice of most professionals.
I have a different use for the touch-bar: one swipe is jump to 10 times zoom, one touch is to five times zoom. I find this very useful, especially when focusing manually.
I use it for this too - I still find it 'fiddly' to make sure it's engaged, but I actually use it all the time for zoom.
My apologies if you are so obtuse as to not see the rather obviously implied "In my opinion" preface to my statement.
