Will Canon & Nikon leaving the DSLR market boost Pentax?

[leslie]

i think if you buy a pentax,  your assured of getting a camera that can do everything previous cameras could do and should be able to do and maybe some new tricks.

buy a canon, and you know it can do more. its  just a case of which of its features are going to get kneecapped because of some bizarre policy instigated by hal 9000, the Artificial Intelligence  from 2001 a space Odyssey.  You know the line.

I'm sorry dave, but i can't do that !!    Thats pretty much how i see canon at the moment, but maybe thats just me 🙂

Speculating wildly now, but maybe Olympus had already seen the writing on the wall and figured they'd save some money, rather throw it at a new mount. Anyway there's nothing wrong with m43, i see no need to keep up with the joneses, besides who of us can say that L mount would have brought more to the olympus table than what they would have given away ?

CaNikon isn’t leaving DSLR’s, they’re just focusing on mirrorless lenses. Both have a far more comprehensive lens lineup than Pentax and can keep cranking out bodies for a decade without producing another EF/F mount lens without a hiccup. Canon’s DPAF has them better positioned since it can be applied to bodies with or without a mirror seamlessly as we’ve seen with the 1dx3/R6.

Than there’s Sony’s SLT 😂😂😂
