...do you believe a new FF mirrorless with a new mount would in no way affect the current dSLR lineup for many years to come?
That is your answer.
You can lock the thread now. Let's not waste time on irrational fears. Take a Xanax and relax.
The topic of the thread is relevant and current. Asking others in a Canon rumors forum how they would respond to a new mount on a FF mirrorless camera is straightforward. Still not sure why the topic agitates you as much as it does.
Personally, I'd choose letting things shake out a bit, having time for a consensus to form on the performance of lenses with an adapter.
Whether I'd buy the new mirrorless and native lenses PLUS hang onto dSLR bodies, that's a whole other thread. :
The common sense expectation is that Canon is going to make a gradual transition--not discontinue dSLR's right away. But with so many photographers other than hobbyists and working professionals happily using smartphones and other alternatives far easier to carry around than a 5DIV, how long can Canon maintain a dSLR line AND a FF mirrorless line and remain profitable? (Ok, here comes the core of members who remind us weekly that Canon is number one and will always be so.
)
Unfocused, I can see that you don't like the speculation, that you might think some conjecture is too far fetched. Fine. But why are you so clearly angry about asking what others will do if EF is slated to be phased out? Why even get involved in a thread you think is not worth your time? Do you have a website that depends on click-through to EF lenses???
