Canon and Panasonic: updated models

snip The temptation to wait for the next new iteration, however, was never very strong. I was just concerned that if I bought today and a new one was announced tomorrow I might just have missed something that was 'better'. Note the *might*! We're really at the point now where there's not going to be any significant improvements unless there is some new sensor technology that emerges. Other than SLRs with larger sensors, even the megapixel wars seem to have mostly ended because the manufacturers don't want to further reduce the high ISO performance or increase noise. Also, what often happens is the replacement model is worse than the one it replaces, not better, because features that are deemed too costly are removed, i.e. optical viewfinder, articulated LCD, etc. The interchangeable lens non-DSLRs are the new market segment that Sony and the Micro 4:3 consortium is trying to promote but it's unclear that there's any demand for such a system that lacks many of the advantages of D-SLRs, and addresses only the question of physical size. |
