Originally posted by ramseybuckeye A lot of people at Canon must be nervous these days, they've put a lot of eggs into the mirrorless basket, and they wouldn't drop the 5D line if it was selling. Some Canonites are probably watching the Pentax Values video and thinking.
I am one of them! Although not a "Canonite", as I also own Nikon equipment, I spent money on Canon bodies and glass (7dmk2, 6dmk2, L series lenses and USM lenses). I also have Nikon gear (D750, D200's plus a bunch of Nikon glass).
The three strikes for me have been:
1. Canon announcing it will only focus on mirrorless technology from this point forward.
2. Canon announcing the end of the 5D line (as well as the 7D line per rumours).
3. Pentax issuing statement that it will continue with DSLR's.
While I currently own a bunch of Canon and Nikon gear (both full frame and cropped sensor plus Panasonic m4/3 equipment), I look forward to buying into Pentax because of the loyalty to their customers.
