Of course you don't. Like many deluded posters here, you think your personal opinions represent those of a large number or even the majority of other buyers, with zero evidence to support your belief. Dozens of times over the past decade-plus, people have predicted that if Canon didn't give them and all those masses they spoke for X or do the Y that they and all the masses they spoke for demanded, Canon's bottom line would suffer and they would dramatically lose market share.
What happened? Canon gained market share.
But hey, you go on predicting a big negative impact for Canon because of your personal opinions. Surely this time, you'll be right.
Putting this out there as food for though
I agree that individual opinions or demands of posters in this forum are irrelevant in the big scheme of things for Canon.... but we can form some relative conclusions from forum posters vs the user base of Canon cameras in general in the world:
- There are more R5/6 owners (and xD previously) than in the general population
- There are long term users of both Canon and other ecosystems with experience moving up from xxxxD/xxxD/xxD etc to higher end models/lenses.
- That shoot a range of genres and have a reasonable understanding of the technical aspects of optics, sensors, patents and other technical parts of the systems
- There are both video and stills and hybrid shooters that participate
- There are participants who will actually purchase higher end bodies (Rx) and lenses (big whites and specialty lenses)
- We have both professional (define at your leisure) and cashed up prosumers as well as those that look to value for money.
- We have switchers and others that have owned multiple bodies and can provide subjective evaluations of the ergonomics
- Forum posters do a reasonable job in challenging wildly unrealistic posts than other camera forums ie the relative quality of the forum is higher than others
Clearly Canon Rumors is no replacement for a specific user group like agencies and single genre sports photograhers but...
Could Canon be actually using Canon Rumors as a focus (boom tish) group?
Should they use it as it is cheaper than running a separate focus group for marketing purposes?
