Haters gonna Hate.
I've seen this type of thread since the start of forums.
What is (expensive pro camera) going to do now that (inexpensive prosumer camera) is announced?
Usually nothing because building a camera to assist in producing compelling professional imagery is more than tiny little 300% crops of what could go wrong, charts, graphs and apples to oranges comparisons.
In stills Lecia, Phase, Leaf and hasselblad make professional cameras. Some non pros appreciate them, some don't, but these cameras are produced to be solid and robust in a professional setting with excellent build quality and workflow.
My old P30+ is still relevant today with ever improving software, amazing tethering, never over the buffer shooting and a deep rich file that sings in post. How old is that camera and it goes to show how long real professional equipment can be useful.
Same with motion cameras Arri and RED.
The viewfinder on the new Arri Mini is $6,500. Arri loses no sleep over this because once again they make cameras for professional production and have a business model to reflect that.
Lecia . . . they're always compared to rich guys playing around, but I can promise you the S series is a professional tool and used with that purpose produces what is expected.
In reality a very good artist can produce a compelling project with just about any camera, but that in no way makes higher priced cameras less relevant.
I like professional gear. I can trust it to perform and am willing to do the extra work to get that 10% better look. (noticed I said look not tech specs).
I'll own the leica no matter if some less expensive maker comes out with a 200mpx camera.
I'll end this with the final thought of I've never understood the negativity that has developed through these type of conversations.
it seems more pervasive every day.
Why start a thread with a damaging negative? Why wish for a companies demise? It seems to me it's just a way to gain attention and smacks of gawker world.
IMO
