I don't entirely disagree with this sentiment. But, when someone says they have followed this forum for seven years, I think it is safe to assume they have some idea of how people on this forum think. What gets people riled up is not someone expressing an opinion so much as when they state that opinion as fact, without having anything but their opinion to back it up.
I do think Nikon is doing a lot of interesting things and I do wish Canon would offer some similar options. I don't buy all the doom and gloom about Nikon. They have been around for as long as Canon and they know the market as well as Canon does. Market share isn't everything and what really matters to companies is that they are turning a profit and offering value to shareholders.
Canon prides itself on being the biggest, but when I first bought Canon they were considered by professionals to be a distant second to Nikon. I bought Canon because at the time (1970s) I could get two bodies, and four lenses for the same price as two bodies and three lenses from Nikon. I've never purchased a Canon camera because of their market share and never will. I buy Canon because I like the brand and I think they offer good value for the money.
I have no problem with people stating what they want. However, some of the other posters on this thread (not
@MoodyCat) are compiling wish lists that are downright silly from the perspective of what is realistic from a demand/price point. We can all type in wish lists that are clearly nothing more than magic flying unicorns, but what does that do to further the discussion?
