Photon Offline Upload & Sell: Off
|
I wanted the ECF of the EOS3 to work, but for me it never did. Sure, I'd like a new system that worked for my eyes and glasses. I know there are features on various bodies that we don't all use, but probably most of them are useful to a sizable proportion of buyers. At the least, features are a sales attractant, and if a particular feature then disappoints a large number of the people whose purchase was significantly influenced by the ads for that feature, the impact could be negative (for Canon sales). I would also speculate that it could cost more in engineering time to make a really effective ECF (for, let's say 95% of shooters) than it does for stuff like video improvements (what if I don't shoot video!), etc. I *could* complain that emphasis on video (or something else) weakens the ergonomic design or responsiveness for some type of shooting that *I* do, but it doesn't seem like a big deal when the 5D3 and 1DX work so well in so many ways. Of course there are always counter arguments. And maybe Canon *is* working on ECF and will blow us away with a great system next year. Or not.
