[QUOTE="Nathan Lanni, post: 618507, member: 14629"] This going to sound like a strange comparison, but I see it sort of like Amazon vs the retail brick and mortar sector. You see it every day - Amazon is putting malls out of business across the nation and company exec's who cut their teeth in old school retail can't seem to properly react or adapt to the shift in how it works now. There's another aspect and that's how you price technology and what technologies you include in a product package. At the manufacturing level things like EVF, USB3, wifi, gps, a network port, etc., cost few $'s. But major manufacturing companies spend huge amounts of time thinking about what features to include, or not, what competitors are offering; if a $10 feature could gain a slight advantage over a competitor's product and another $100 at retail. Then some company like Apple, Amazon, Sony step in and throw away the old playbook. Sony is saying, "What is it you want? You got it - and by comparison - cheap." Not to say these offerings are inexpensive… FWIW [/QUOTE]
