Not all.
Greedy is as greedy does. I always wonder who is more greedy. Is it the manufacturer who is a good steward of capital so that the company can provide long term jobs to its employees and a fair return on investment to shareholders? Or is it the consumer who demands everything at the lowest possible cost no matter what the ramifications to the producers or even the environment? I'll have to say that the trophy for being the most greedy lies squarely in the lap of a larger portion of consumers who don't care that one product or another is made by slave labor under oppressive political regimes. Sadly, that sometimes includes myself, but at least I don't try to act pure and blame it on somebody else.
Blackmagic 6k is S35... cannot shoot stills, garbage AF and has no continuous AF... NONE, no image stabilization at all, no hot shoe, crap battery life, a huge weirdly shaped body, plastic construction, zero weather resistance... ( I could go on) and is priced at $2,500... there is nothing stopping you from getting the Pocket 6K, if that’s your preference. Personally I will happily pay $5k+ for this body if the specs and performance are there. The only reason I didn’t buy the 1DXMK3 was hopes that Canon would release a serious professional body.
Bernie, is that you?
There is a theme to your posts! There might be support for crowd-funding you ...
Actually. Give it till black Monday or Christmas. 1Dx III sells at about 10% under RRP in Australia already. So.. release in July with orders fulfilled in August. Skip Sept, October. Let market and weather to cool down a bit. Place order come Black Friday / cyber Monday
My plan anyway ..Listen carefully, I will say this only once: it will be EXPENSIVE! Like all Canon gear, this too will be HIGHLY overpriced.
Dream on Bert... and keep dancing. This R5 will be 4900-5900 of course. Canon choose to raise prices even higher, now Sony took a piece of the pie. But that will drive even more people into competition hands I’m affraid. If Canon does not charge reasonable prices I am switching too.
That is the price for the WiFi extender module. The body alone will be 5900. Canon needs cash now competition is ahead and selling more and more camera’s to pro users.
Why wait? I recommend you go buy the Competition now, then pat yourself on the back for saving all that dough. Not only that, but you'll be able to use the gear as soon as you get it - more shooting opportunities - especially now that Spring is almost here, at least in the Northern Hemisphere.
