@ Alajuela, you obviously know it's always dangerous to praise Canon in a Sony forum so I applaud your post above :thumbs:
I also agree, while the a7 (incl. the R&S versions) are great innovations and do attract a lot of attention they're not anybody's mass product camera. There's still some quirks in these bodies that not everybody wants to work around and MF with older lenses will probably remain a niche application, even though it will help incremental sales. So as long as Canon and Nikon produce a nice line of competent camera's in the range from consumer to pro (which they do) they will remain a strong brand in the marketplace. Sony is playing catch-up with these innovations and trying out new things which I like a lot, but for them it's only way forward otherwise they get crushed between the big two.
