>>3033965>It's going to cost them in the end when the other camera makers offer something even better at the 500 dollar mark.Sony's development strategy is beautiful. They can drop the prices of their higher end 6000 series SKUs and release the successor in no time because the marginal cost of production is no where near what Nikon and Canon have for SKUs relative to the price range.
Sony's strengths come from their production flexibility and after the a6500 it's clear that they aren't just sitting on their ass jacking off like Nikon and even to a lesser extent Canon.
Don't get me wrong, if I had an unlimited budget I would love to shoot Canon, but in terms of value, quality, and future prospects, Nikon is trying to make me a suck a dick and Canon just doesn't offer me the bang for the buck.
In a perfect world all three would be competing with each other driving up quality and driving down prices, but I think Nikon's executives are busy fingerpainting and Canon is more like the invincible feeling bunch you're talking about.
Why aren't free market principles making everything better for all brands? REEEEEEEEEE
