Sad, sad, very sad...
To Kill a nearly 70-year history Stupid, really stupid ...
Is that like a fan of Model T's saying "Ford never made anything better!"
?
Companies have to keep moving forward. Products can become stale/stagnant, even if their storied past is alive and exuberant.
Personally, I get more of a 'tactile' REAL feel when using my 503CW vs my (prior) H2's. I can understand that as a digital platform, the H-series is more akin to that type of work, but the 503CW(or any V-system body) just feels more "genuine"...
Not requiring batteries to operate the camera system is a blessing, the H can never have that capability!
