funny how some people need to divert from sensor performance or lack of some video features whenever criticism is voiced.
some of the "senior" staff here is arguing for 6 years that way, as i noticed reading older posts lately.
just saying "yes canon lacks in sensor performance compared to sony and i wish they would be as good" is not possible for some people.
"i wish canon would have IBIS and 4K without a heavy crop".... not possible to say for some.
or at least be open minded that other people want these features. nope... they need to divert to lens collection, market share, ergonomics, support.
it is an instant reflex for some.
some people don´t see all the benefits in canon cameras but sure some other people here won´t acknowledge shortcomings either (some may do with grinding teeth).
and it´s always the same arguments from both sides..... for 6, maybe 7 years.
and they all claim they are not fanboys ... LOL
you don´t waste your live writing 10000+ post on a GEAR forum when you are not a BRAND fanboy.
by the way:
i think the EOS R is a nice camera for my needs (won´t buy it because i have a 5D MK4). if i had no 5D MK4 i would wait until it is 200 euro cheaper.
but i saw some videos that showed some ugly banding when pushing shadows. noticable worse than the 5D MK4.
And some people think that repeated criticism of the same points that many people have already brought up is a great idea when there are already multiple threads that span dozens of pages going over the same ground again and again and again... Face it, the topic is sensitive to people because some have used inflammatory language to say that Canon was obsolete/will go out of business if they don't have "x" feature, and over the years, it has not proven true. How many userids have minimal number of comments criticizing Canon and that's it? Probably hundreds if not thousands... many people do like trolling this forum. Not realizing that and starting another thread to say the same thing... well, is it any wonder that it brings hostile comments? Longtime members know each other, and criticism from one on a topic will not bring the same response because we know where they stand -- they're not trolls.
Canon's greatest advantage is its glass. Its lenses are excellent and many of them are much cheaper than their Nikon and Sony counterparts. Take a look at the price differences for the 70-200, 400 f/2.8s, etc.
Yes, it would be great if Canon can design and produce sensors as efficient as Sony, but I'm glad that Canon is still doing it on it's own. A monopoly on sensor technology is not good in the long run.
I too have a 5DIV, and I'm intrigued by what Canon is doing with the R system. I'll wait for a R body that is better than the 5DIV, but the 28-70 and 50 RF lenses are intriguing. Now that Canon and Nikon have mirrorless entries that will stem the defections to Sony, it'll put more pressure on Sony to find new ways to grow... especially now that Panasonic is intending to win the video front with 8K by 2020.
