The 1DXII sensor should have been enough to sway any Canonite on the fence about leaving. I suspect the number of Canonites fleeing for Sony will slow to a trickle now and if the dual raw gets software support for the extra DR, even better news.
Well, maybe the 1DXII + the 80D ... and now the 5D4 shows conviction to the direction for Canon. I think the biggest concern for folks was just that they didn\'t see any \"evidence\" of the direction that Canon might go, foregoing the other attributes of Canon along the way to a certain regard. For those who found something of favor elsewhere or in the Sony + Canon realm, cool beans. Whether they return to a Canon body or not is of no consequence to those who find the new Canon models to their liking.
I passed on the Sony + Canon up to this point. But, that\'s not to say that an A99 II (FF + articulating display in E mount and good ergonomics) couldn\'t pull me into the Sony + Canon tribe. Ideally, Canon will achieve my desire for FF + articulating (6D II) first so I don\'t have to contend with adapters, etc. But with regard to the same tired old tune about DR ... hopefully the \"crickets\" will be in regard to no longer being incessantly bombarded about a choice to remain using Canon rather than something else. Although, I suspect it\'ll just turn into some other \"other\" given enough time.
Microsoft, Adobe, Canon (Leica, Hassy) ... sometimes folks just like picking at the big guy (or the $$$ guy), always looking for the Achille\'s Heel. That\'s not ever gonna change.
The \"Joy of Photography ...
I can honestly say that nothing has ever diminished my joy of our beloved craft more than the subject of DR. There has been no single issue or topic that I have felt that a constant barrage of folks were waiting for the next opportunity for ambush the way that DR has been. It has also been the single most contentious topic that I\'ve experienced that has taken its toll on the \"Joy of FM\", as it has presented such opposition to the spirit of FM\'s wonderful fellow members to be ever helpful.
I just hope that the hyper-contentiousness attitude of the topic can go by the wayside. This is one time where \"crickets\" will be most welcome. The camera itself (5D4, 80D, 1DX II) may offer an increase in the \"Joy\", but imo, the greater potential increase in our joy of our beloved craft will be any reduction, mitigation and (idealistically) the elimination of the contentious attitudes regarding the subject of DR. Sure, there will always be points of debate over minutia, but if I never hear the subject of DR again, it won\'t hurt my feelings.
FM ROCKS !!!
Bring on the pics.
