this thread is kind of sad: lots of people invested in canon glass that are so dissatisfied w/ current canon offerings that they\'re willing to go w/ an entirely new brand as long as they can use their lenses...
I see it as a great thing and perhaps a significant inflection point in the industry. Putting aside the inability to AF (or at least AF quickly), the idea that a photographer can match best-of-class lenses from Canikon to a third-party FF body is pretty amazing. Photographers have learned to take the lack of interoperability for granted but it\'s pretty ridiculous when you think about it. I wouldn\'t expect Canikon to make an interchangeable body like the A7/A7r but certainly Sony will hold their feet to the fire to keep them innovating on their own bodies now that the locked-in-system premium is tossed out the window.
You can\'t put aside the inability to AF (or having good/fast AF). And even attach your lenses without buying converters.
And very very few lenses from Canon are best of it\'s class when you take away the tele lenses which are not good with adapters and no AF. So why not go all the way and upgrade both sensor and lenses to best in it\'s class
It\'s fun to read all these threads about the new Sony cameras. And about all the people that will change from their Canon body to these new cameras. Because their Canon sensor is not good enough. And then you see what lenses the use and what lenses they gonna adapt to their new camera.
(I\'m probably buying the A7R) And it\'s probably a great thing as you wrote.
