Canon Gear Being Announced in the Next 24 Hours

[Keith_Reeder]

haha, you're funny. The NX1, a fine machine, easily better than anything Canon keeps announcing.

And if I was only shooting cat pics and FaceBook selfies, I'd probably agree...

Oh - and what's your upgrade path, incidentally?

 

[Loswr]

You do realise, don't you, that any camera, from any manufacturer, will be stuffed with two (or more) year old tech by the time it's released?

Wait. What? Mind. Blown.

;D

 

[Keith_Reeder]

Tsk, tsk - I do hope you're not mocking our uninformed and unjustifiably opinionated little friend..!

yes, just add those 2 years .. and you got Canon's 4 years of delay in sensor capability vs. Sony.

Yes, as we see from the most recent releases, you're as correct as usual...for you. Well done!

 

[AvTvM]

compare Canon 5D IV (2017) vs. Sony A7R II (2015) ... and you got your 2 years ... plus the extra 2 years Mr. Reeder wants us to add.

So Sony is 'progressing' backwards. Gotcha.

yep at least with A9: DXO sensor rating is lower than A7R II ...

PS: you "gotcha" Sony, not me.

That all assumes that you're gullible enough to believe that the only thing that matters about a sensor is its tolerance for pushing low ISO shadows by multiple stops, of course.

For those of us with the knowledge and ability to expose images properly, Sony sensors provide no advantage.

And the sensor in the Nikon D5, which has worse low ISO DR (which we know is all that matters) than the Canon 80D...
