Bite the bullet and switch to the Nikon Z9. Maybe it will be an expense at first, but you will certainly know how to use all the advantages you see in the Z9 and you will be a much happier person, I'm sure. You just seem bitter like this.
Not a brand apologist. Here are your wonderfully inaccurate cliches, in case you forgot them.
I am not sure there will be one. The EOS 3 was a one and done camera, and I think the R3 will be one too, since (as others have mentioned), that this spec list reads like an R3 successor.
They’re separate points.
You can call them inaccurate but you offer no evidence of anything. Just your opinions like everyone else here.....
Not disagreeing, but whose expectations should be exceeded? My point was that I have no doubt Canon believes that their software is great. It’s probably an area where they are flying somewhat blind. With hardware, they give it to NDA testers, but as I understand it those cameras output only JPGs. I suspect relatively few high-end photographers actually use DPP for anything.
Do not even try to convince the Internet "experts" that the R3 wasn't a panickly rebadged R1, many have simply switched their mononeural brains off.
The evidence is that somehow all these cameras you label as crippled seem to outsell the competition’s offerings by leaps and bounds, which is why Canon dominates the market. Evidently the majority of people buying cameras seem to think Canon’s offerings better meet their needs. That says something about the relevance of your opinions, but I suspect you’ll remain willfully ignorant on that point.
It's being bitter because I'm underwhelmed by the Canon flagship? The bitter ones are the ones who tell people that they should be satisfied with whatever Canon throws at them and if they don't like it, they should "leave". I guess the forum would be everyone's happy place if we all just say kumbaya and sing the praises of Canon just because. Better yet: "Wow, that Canon R1 is amazing. I couldn't possibly want anything else. It's perfect."
By all means come back to discuss the DxOMark score of the technologically advanced a9III when that is revealed. Do keep in mind you’re talking about a scoring system that strongly factors dynamic range into lens scores.
Go to Wikipedia and look up "SIMD" or "Single Instruction Multiple Data". Note its applicability to graphics processing.
That might be so, however none of the people that are buying Canon's cameras are able to produce an acceptable image because the sensor score on DXO Mark is too low.
I guess you don't realize that market share doesn't just include high end models. They have market share because they sell a good amount of all types of cameras, the vast majority of them to complete amateur hobbyists!
As I said, the DPP workflow is logical. It just doesn’t work for me. Notably, the workflow is different from that of the major/popular RAW converters. There’s a reason LR, DxO, C1, etc., do it the way they do.
According to that response, there should be no need to strive for anything better because anyone can make an acceptable image with a lesser performing sensor. Gotcha! So this whole thread is meaningless. Everything is subjective now and no one needs more than Canon determines they need...
