Another round for the 'I've jumped ship and all you guys here are suckers' naysayers in this forum to sell their Canikony wares.
Whatever it is, we will know by Oct when the new camera is out.
No mount is safe be it Canon or Nikon.
In fact it already happened twice for Canon and is happening now for Sony.
But that's stretching this name change too far.
Safest bet?
M42 mount, the universal mount.
If one wants to live in fear and despair, then sell all their stuff and live minimally, so that its easy to change brand at a moments notice.
So what happens when in a few years time, when lenses are obsolete with google glass type devices?
What about 10yrs again from that and its a neural chip and the lens is our eye?
I'm already using Takumars on a 5D, as long as K mount is available or usable on something, its pretty fine for me.
The brand/naming is irrelevant, but the system usability/philosophy must fit the user (me).
Personally, I think the quality a dslr can give now is good for most stuff (viewing/printing) for the next 5-10yrs.
