All this "stealing" of "intellectual property" is absolute nonsense. Native Americans had it right, when they puzzled over the British Invaders' idea a human being could "own land". After all,...

And Sony isn't doing any of this to make us happy... They just kept loosing money on a lot of divisions for far too long, so it was starting to become one of two options: become bait for hedge...

@ moawkwrd That would indeed be the worst thing that could happen.

As soon as any corporation feels they dominate, advancements stop dead in their tracks.

But at the same time Canon should quit...

The way he talks,
he might as well be management drone #2345890

His name and its spelling is as arbitrary as his evasive double speak.

Bean counter talk.
Afraid of shareholders, if he messes up the balance sheet with engineering bills.

He'd rather his company slowly die than having to stand up and face his seniors / superiors...

Yes, EF mount would make the camera deeper, but also keep the lenses shorter! So really, you're not gaining or loosing anything.

Canon could just make fat cameras that are more compact in other...

Bean counters only have respect for balance sheets.

Customers are just a cog in the machine.

You can always tell if a company is dominated by bean counters or engineers. And every company starts...

Sony kinda took a sledgehammer to that EF glass lock-in.

As for infrastructure - I think they just don't want to spend money and make their balance sheet look any uglier with declining sales.

But...

Shouldn't matter, he'll be gone with the next set of redundancies induced by declining sales.

Failure to hire enough engineers to defend the company's main business it'll say in his recommendation...

How about just spending some money and hiring the engineers they lack to save the company from a long, slow and sad decline?

Not to mention letting Sony get too happy, cause like any one of these...

"There are some features, such as AF, which have not yet caught up with DSLRs, so given the current state of affairs it would be a little unrealistic to say that we will suddenly start offering a...

I think you can! RX100 or RX100 II

what do you mean, I can't have an F1.4 600mm?

yeah, but how can they make a landscape / street camera without EVF? You're shooting in bright light and can't see jack sh*t on the screen.

I don't get the need for a long zoom. Sure, I wouldn't mind if the RX100IV went to ~100 for portraits, but then its bokeh isn't all that pretty anyway.

And sadly, the Nikon DL18-50 excludes...

Yeah, DxO has the 55F18Z as the number one prime lens for the a6000 and the 50F18OSS follows it closely in third place. So your findings make perfect sense.  I have the 50F18OSS since the days when ...

Its pretty well accepted that decent IS saves you 3 to 4 F-stops when shooting hand held. If you're always lugging a tripod around, of course, its "useless". On a bright sunny day at noon, its also ...

Not much matches the BSI sensor, even Sony's cameras mostly don't have it. Just the A7RII and the RX100IV.

Reason I didn't buy the A7SII was its lack of BSI sensor, Sony just left the old one...

I wish I had even the smallest reason to jump up and say "you're wrong."

But you got it nailed. The only good thing in this nightmare is that every day, more people are waking up to it.

There are...

Yeah, I saw that...

But it blocks the hot shoe, makes it hard to pocket and could get lost and costs extra, of course :)

Granted, the RX100IV doesn't have a hot shoe in the first place.
