Switching from system to the next can be costly, its why prior to mirrorless few people did brand jumping. Pro-wise, enthusiast & amateurs, if you haven't switched now, then what's going to really convince you to later? As the person said all Cannik has to is release a solid product&that alone will secure those who haven't switched, which despite what the internet paints, still not as many as one may believe. I still see Nikon and more so Cannon DSLRs being used. The money is with the consumer market and just from a glance on the street in a tourist area of my city, i've yet to see anyone using a Fuji camera. In only a couple of years, each and every mirrorless camera may be capable of insanely good AF with intelligent object recognition, 20fps+, blackout free viewfinder, silent shooting. They can do anything and everything (except OVF) that they competitors do, and do it cheaper. They have the advantage today and are making use of it. Sony goes all in with technology to stall opponents. Sure, there is the user interface to polish, the customer base, the lens portfolio. Canon or Nikon really have no technologies which could make Sony envious. It was only a matter of time before mirrorless technology catches up and overtakes the SLR way. Electronics is much faster to develop and cheaper to manufacture than mechanics. Is anyone surprised at something so obvious? Mirror and viewfinder assembly are inherited from the bygone era of analog and it was only a matter of time that they will become a burden. It's a very small inconvenience compared to the benefits I'm getting from EVF and mirrorless in general. I travel with mirrorless (either a Sony A6000 or a Fuji X-E1- I use both systems), and changing batteries hasn't been an issue for me. If that's the case, just stick to DSLR! But for most people, changing a battery once in a while is not really that big a deal. Yes, in certain use cases, changing the battery may be a very big deal. Besides, is it REALLY such an issue to change a battery? You're blowing the issue waaaaay out of proportion. Battery life on the latest Sony's is very good. As for "battery endurance", it's increasingly a non-issue. Huge AF point coverage, real-time exposure preview, in-viewfinder histogram, face/eye AF, focus peaking, focus magnification, etc. What in the world are you smoking? There's plenty of benefit of EVF and getting rid of that ancient mirror. In the end, they didn't give us anything definitive, encouraging us instead to "let your imagination suggest some - "in sunlight, there's even less benefit to the EVF." When we spoke to Canon, the company said it "can’t simply ignore the in the market," but that "we’re considering the technical advancements that are possible" with a new mount. The major unanswered question is: what about lenses? Will Canon release a new lens mount with this rumored full-frame mirrorless camera-thereby taking advantage of the shorter flange distance offered by mirrorless-will the new camera be compatible with EF lenses out of the box, or will it be some sort of hybrid arrangement? Either way, as rumors and reports heat up, it seems more and more likely the industry will be getting a major shake-up in early 2019 or late 2018. Read our full Canon interview from CP+ 2018Ĭanon Rumors is "very confident we’re going to see something announced before the end of Q1 in 2019," while other outlets have predicted something for Photokina in September. In accordance with the full lineup strategy, we will be tackling going forward.Īnd when we asked if it was "realistic" to expect a Canon full-frame mirrorless camera within a year, their tongue-in-cheek response was: Specifically, the Canon executives we spoke to said: This matches up with what Canon told us during our interview at CP+ 2018. The Canon Rumors report, published earlier today, claims that "a full frame mirrorless camera is well into its development cycle," and is in fact being used by "select Canon pro photographers" in the field.
