Groundbreaking? There are already BSI APS-C sensors, so what is groundbreaking about it? Oh, I see...it's not just an incremental evolution like many on this forum criticize Canon for, it's groundbreaking because Sony did it. I'm far more impressed by the stacked sensors in the new Sony P&S.
Regarding the grass being greener, would you like to describe again the wonderful and pleasant experience you had when you needed Sony to service your camera?

Indeed. While it's true that Canon lenses can be adapted to Sony MILCs, that's likely not a mainstream solution.

It's the internet, and an open discussion forum. If you find the content irrelevant to you, feel free to not read on it. Also feel free to not further side track the discussion by repeatedly commenting on it.
FWIW, I did not bring it up in this thread, but I did want to correct a factual inaccuracy about what was posted. Are you also opposed to truth as well?
Finally, if you can't imagine how stocks are relevant to a discussion of camera gear, consider a once-popular maker of camera gear and supplies: Kodak.

Is it really so hard to accept that some photographers like Canon and some photographers like Sony?
Use the camera system you like to use and let other's use the camera system they like to use.
There is no need to insult or degrade photographers who may have a different opinion from your opinion.
I do not understand how some people here can get so spun up and take things so personally.
But then if we all acted mature, CR would lose a lot of its entertainment value. LoL

I have no plans to buy a 5DSR now given the A7RII will have better ISO performance and dynamic range. I am usually shooting at 400 iso and higher. Never at 100 iso. I wanted someone with higher MP for larger prints.
I also wanted a 4k video full frame camera with good AF. I was looking at the A7S, but I hated it did not AF quickly. I also did not like it did not offer 4k internal. I don't want to spend $2k on a recorder. I also do not have time to pull focus on a fast moving subjects.
This is two cameras in one for me. It could be a good video and stills camera.
I also did not want to buy new glass. People are also saying the AF performance with the metabones adapter actually works well with Canon lenses.
If Sony made a full frame spots camera to compete against the 1DX and 5D3 higher fps, I would think Canon would be worried. I still might need to buy the 5D4 given the fps I need for sports.

That Neuro fanatic is right in one thing, numbers will tell the true story, we are entering the stage two of Sony success story...
Just think about incredible success of A7s in the relatively small niche it occupies and add all the appeal it has to the 42 mp incredibly well designed and crafted machine like A7r.
Trust me another niche (much larger in this case) of photographers are getting ready to pick the best tool there is for the job as we speak, without any primitive childish complexes or prejudices, and individuals like Neuro will be the last to influence they decisions.
Just go for it folks and enjoy the ride! LOL

LOL!!! ha, ha I love how you state that Canon's pathetic stock price growth marginally outperforms Sony's pathetic stock price growth like it is a major point won! So therefore Canon's sensor must be better?! Sorry to be mean but I honestly cannot see how the fantastic specs (again, on paper) of Sony's latest effort can be anything other than praised. Absolutely I still wouldnt dream of ditching my Canon setup for long-range wildlife photography but for landscape work there is absolutely no comparison.

I could be wrong but my gut feeling is that it can't sync past 1/250th just yet. If it was able to I think we'd see the marketing department all over that one.

It's the same with Apple vs Samsung bullshit, each has strong points and each has weakness, though Apple has better marketing and customer support, while Samsung products are more feature full and cost less, it's really funny how you can replace Canon with Apple and Sony with Samsung and still have the same arguments. Though on the long run Samsung reputation is suffering.

Is there any evidence available for anything this guy is saying? He's also claiming that the D810 and D750 use the exact same sensor. I've got to say, I think he's completely full of it.

He's probably the same one saying that we only use 10% of our brain
... w/o further evidence from anywhere, I'd categorize this as Internet bs, but these things are bound to attract attention and links. It's true the sensor res is always larger than the output size b/c of the black border for calibration (Magic Lantern makes use of this fact, that's why dual_iso files have more mp than plain cr2 files) - but hardly 60mp->50mp...
