Re: new cameras differentiated on variables other than IQ
Seems to me that at present the manufacturers have to differentiate on factors other than IQ precisely because sheer image quality has plateaued in the last few years. IQ just isn\'t improving at the old rate anymore - discuss.
Image quality now is great, as it was in 2008. On the one hand that is wonderful because we don\'t necessarily have to upgrade as often as we did in the early days of digital, on the other had it may be we will have to wait years and years for anything with radically better IQ than we have today.
My own outfit is aging now, I have a 7D and a 5D2, but I have no plans to upgrade in the foreseeable future (even the 5D2 AF is fine for me as I shoot static subjects), even though in the past I was a constant upgrader. I wonder how long it will be before cameras with significantly better IQ than these arrive? Perhaps the 5D4 will impress. I will have to wait and see.
