Camera Wars and Mirrorless Battles
What a load (two loads, in fact) of nonsense! I'm not at war with
anyone over anything, not fighting any battles over mirrors. I use cameras that make good photos and that have good ergonomics‹they feel comfortable in my hands. Beyond that, I don't give a rat's knobby little kneecaps whether it has a mirror or not, or if it's built into a smartphone, or who manufactured it. Judging from the amazing variety of cameras I see making great photos on Flickr, it's pretty hard to buy a camera today that can't make good photos. It's a camera. Pick it up and go make some photos. -- I agree with almost everything that you have said and almost everything that you will say in your entire life. usenet *at* davidillig dawt cawm |

This is more a war/battle over market share rather than camera type. The quality, and capability of any modern camera, be it Smart phone, M43, MILC, or DSLR, and the quality of images they produce regardless of the individuals using them aside, they are all commodities. Their manufacturers are the ones battling for a piece of a rapidly evolving market. The two market leaders Nikon, and Canon have an interloper eroding their share of the total market in Sony and their FF MILCs. They have girded for a marketing war in the FF MILC arena. Neither Nikon, nor Canon is happy about losing market share from their FF DSLR sales to the upstart Sony. So in the last few days we have seen over-hyped releases of FF MILCs from Nikon, and Canon. They do not seem to be too troubled by the likes of Olympus, Panasonic, Pentax, or Fujifilm regardless of those who are contented users of those brand, or the release of the ASP-C Fujifilm X-T3. That might be arrogant, corporate indifference. However, I believe they will be scrambling to deal with the affordable MF GFX 50MP, and soon to be announced GFX 100MP cameras. As for me, I am quite content shooting APS-C Fujifilm cameras, with occasional shots taken with my iPhone. |

In line with yore statement, I think camera systems are made to take photographers, not pictures. -- PeterN |
