Hi Steve, I'd love to meet you, Rob, and more of your team one day. You guys have taken care of me and I appreciate it. I probably mistakenly was commenting to you when I really wanted others in this thread to hear. Critical comments should not automatically be assumed to be from complainers, whiners, trolls, haters, etc. There are some really important issues here that need to be understood and aired. I don't expect 10 year old technology to be supported UNLESS prior to my purchase of said technology the point is made about modularity and upgradability. IOW, I'm being sold an expectation as well as a product. Then we hem you take into account the price of the product, unfulfilled expectations can inspire anger. And I don't think that anger is unwarranted. I know wg n I entered this market I had no idea what's the rules were. Meaning, did technology cycles follow the same time lines? Obviously not. But how long were these cycles? With older used product still going for a decent amount I had no idea how long the technology shelf life was for MFD gear. So it's not unreasonable for a P series back owner to believe a new body would be available to them.
Putting that aside, I am still simmering about the cost of the XF. It has NOTHING to do with the XF and EVERYTHING to do with the DF. Again, speaking specifically about the AF performance, it feels like Phase is requiring us to pay for adequate performance of a capability that should be foundational with any $200 AF camera. Let alone a $6k DF.
