the previous decade of camera sales never seemed sustainable. People were upgrading at a crazy rate.
People who never thought about photography, film, or video were jumping in.
So, now things are settling down, and the cellphone cameras are taking a big slice of the p+s? Not sure how any of this directly or indirectly changes the way professional media people go about their day.
Canikony should be looking for ways to make better products. Not saying anything about their consumer side of cameras, just the pro stuff. And i see that they are, i am just saying, that how it should be.
The Fs7, Fx9, C500mkII, and S1H all seem like cameras that reflect the new reality. Plenty of passable cameras out there, and semi-good image quality isn’t enough anymore. They milked that train already.
We’ll see if they start taking more conservative approach to builds, with longer life cycles, or if technology just moves too fast and passes them by.
It is unclear to me how much modernizing and keeping up is a viable business model for the pro camera industry. And we’ll see what the companies did with their profit, whether they put that into refining, creating a more dynamic and modular future, or were just plain blind sided by cellphones. I doubt that, but looking at camera design, i am also not going to write that idea off either. They seem stuck.
Well, here’s to another decade of crippling and milking and not making anything classic, because... there’s always better next year.

Adding an XLR audio unit would go a long way as well. How many C-Series cameras are they going to sell in the future? Does there need to be a C200 MKII? Seems like they can give some love to the hybrids at this point in time.
