That's a relative measure, not an absolute one. If, for example, Sony ships 100 A7IIIs to a store which has 120 preorders and Canon ships 200 Rs for 130 preorders, which company did better? Your metric implies that Sony would've done 'better', since they sold out and the Rs didn't.
Why not? An L lens on an 80D will deliver better photos than a cheap lens on an 1DX most of the times.
Well, my most used setup during summer is an EOS M1 + MP-E65mm + MT-24EX + GP-E2. The camera was about €200, the lens+flash+gps about ten times more. The 7D1 and sigma 150mm OS are a bit better matched price wise
Is the APSC format going to die as manufacturing improves? Or the M series will be the APSC cameras of the future and the R will have inexpensive full frame bodies.
yeah
i guess canon thinks people are stupid enough to fall for FF no matter what.
looking at the features from the X-T3 ...
i rather have a great APS-C than a stripped down FF camera.
and what about lenses?
for a cheapish FF camera you need lenses to go with it.
who buys a 2000+ euro lens for a 1600-1700 euro camera?
and who buys EF lenses when he only has an RF mount camera?
i doubt canon only wants to sell this to old folks who already own a ton of canon glass?
2 new camera models are nice.. but canon needs to bring more lenses.
70-200, cheaper 50mm, wide primes, wideangle zooms etc. etc.
i would wish they bring a decent speced 40+ MP EOS R model sooner than later.
i am not interested in an even lower speced fullframe camera....
Well, I did. Put L-series EF lenses on my 70D instead of EF-S, knowing that I would eventually upgrade the camera body in the future...
Anyone who likes the idea of a polarizing or ND filter in the adapter. Example: EF 11-24MM L on an EOS R body. If that lens was also available in RF mount, you'd need to use a big clunky filter attachment to clear the bulbous front element. With EF lenses and filter adapter, you can go from lens to lens quickly without ever messing with the filter...
Selling out only indicates the relationship of orders that were received versus units supplied. Nikon could ship 100 units and say it "sold out" while Canon could ship 10,000 units and not "sell out." Neither scenario provides insight into popularity. You need actual order numbers for that.
Well, that might be what you need. Keep in mind that the Rebel series is what brings home the cash for Canon, allowing for development and production of the comparatively high-spec, low-volume professional sales. I doubt the majority of 1DXII shooters are wringing their hands for a mirrorless equivalent (sure, there are probably some).
yeah well how many shooter will buy a 28-70 f2 for a 6D like camera?
i don´t see many 80D owner run around with an EF 50mm f1.2 or 85mm f1.4.
well in one of my first messages here i wrote that is one reason the RF mount looks interesting.
Sure, and there have to be others (like me) who've been shooting on Rebel and 7D-class cameras for the last few years, patiently waiting to make the jump to a pro body. What's held me back from buying a pro DSLR, as well as finally shooting FF, is the prospect of a pro Canon mirrorless.
The 5DS Mark 2 would be an ideal camera as the more expensive RF mount body. You don't have to worry about fast throughput on most of the subjects you would should with a regular 5ds.
