I’m amazed we still have all the large camera manufacturers that we do especially given it’s been so long since Minolta offloaded their camera business to Sony. Fewer cameras are selling and the prices are going up to compensate. I’ve been looking at the newest Sony RX100 MK VII to replace the mk 3 I use at the moment. It’s a heck of a lot more expensive, it’s up to £1200 for the MK VII. For a pocket camera!

I can see others like Pentax/Ricoh going as well sadly then perhaps Panasonic might drop out of stills manufacturing, we could end up with the big two Canon/Nikon plus Sony (the tech company that also makes cameras) dominating things.
Leica will no doubt survive pedalling it's vastly overpriced pap (sorry I'm exaggerating).Last edited by Anpanman; 25-06-2020, 18:47.

Still, as good as phone cameras have come, they still can't compete with full frame goodness like this ...
A little toy I've got to play with for the next couple of days, but unfortunately I have to return it on Thursday. Had a quick look over the camera and I'm already impressed with how fast and quiet the auto-focus is - is quicker even than my Olympus EM-1 and 12-35mm f/2.8 pro optic (and that's fast) and that's in sub-optimal light inside.
This might get expensive.

It looks good Marty, some impressive specs, how was the viewfinder, it can do 120hz or something but battery life goes down to about 200 shots.

You couldn't tell the difference between an optical and the digital on the R tbh. They're just not an issue these days.
The camera has gone back to Canon now; it was a nice camera to use and the AF and image noise was very impressive (12,800 ISO is totally usable), but I'm not sure I'd buy one. With the lens (24-105mm f/4 L) new it would cost about £3K and when you can get a D800 for £500-600 now and the 24-120mm f/4 Nikkor for similar, I'm not convinced it's worth the extra £2K, even though you don't need to do as much work on the pics in LR.
