Marc is far more eloquent than I but has captured exactly what I was trying to say, there are posts in this thread which directly or indirectly state that mirrorless technology and evf is the future and that dslr's or ovf are dinosaurs compared with it, my point is always that there is no one size fits all, no need to justify your purchase, no need to mock anyone who likes using something different, they are just cameras.
Lucille, thanks for stating that you hope not to bother me in the future, what a relief! Honestly, it would be impossible for you to bother me, were you really expecting me to spend time putting together a list of posts when it's obvious that you are asking because you don't think there are any? It's entirely acceptable for you not to think the same as me, it doesn't matter! Maybe you can read Marc's post above, decide you agree or decide you don't.

Of course you are right, it's always the latest thing, the 645z was the savour of humanity, cheap, medium format, that produced some really good reactions in people, there are very few posts mentioning it now, I have no doubt there is such a lot of sony stuff purely because they are constantly churning out new products, people are very sensitive about their purchases, Sony owners as much as anyone else I accept that.
I loved the RX1, superb camera for when I was in Iraq and Afghanistan, great pictures and easy to hide so didn't get shot at. My first digital camera was a Canon 20d, that spent 2.5 years in the Antarctic with me and never let me down once, brilliant camera! I used a full D800/E setup for a couple of years and only sold it for the Leica, a huge backward step with no live view, no evf, miserable DR and it's a ccd sensor!! I love it more than all my other cameras put together. 100% of my income is from photography, I'm not for any particular camera, system or format, I just really dislike reading posts from people claiming this tech or that company is dead based on the choices they have made, it just doesn't make sense to me. Anyway, it doesn't matter, it's just a discussion.
Have a nice afternoon!
