"I want a bigger sensor and interchangeable lenses."
"So you want a C100 or C300?"
"No, I want the $1,500 camera to do all of that. Why can't they put all of the features in the cheapest camera?"
I never understand the complaint that any company "cripples their cheaper models to protect sales of the expensive ones." Of course they do! As if it would make any sense for Canon (or any company, for that matter, and not just cameras) to do anything different. Of course the $1,500 camera isn't going to have the features of the $8,000 camera. Sony doesn't put everything that is an FS7 in one of their $900 camcorders either.
I'm happy with the XC10. If the XC15 has a few minor improvements and keeps the price the same, then fantastic. To expect an XC15 to suddenly have interchangeable lenses and a big sensor for the same price is unrealistic.
