A personal view
We are all enthusiasts - we are passionate about taking images
we are/have been rushing around buying the latest serious compacts, M43 cams and the like - buying the latest body with the "not to be missed price wise, kit lens" - and then quickly realising that we "need" to get the "other" lens and then adapters and then a few manual lens, etc., etc.
What are we really after? - we want great IQ, a simple menu with (especially) the ability to change ISO and EV quickly
and a quick way to MF
aren't we all missing something
without a good (great) lens we are lost
IMHO, (non DSLR) - the great lens are made by Leica, Zeiss and CV - not any of this other stuff that is being churned out
We need a simple body, good sized sensor, simple controls and the ability to focus MF RF lens quickly - the opposite is being thrown at us in the latest incarnations
It has always been said and it is true that "always buy good glass" - that is the way forward - we are all being sucked in by new camera marketing hype when "good glass" is what we need - at the end of the day it is the only way that "you" will approach happiness, (if that is possible)
