[QUOTE="dukatum, post: 308980, member: 23829"] Bentley make some amazing cars. Everyone loves them, and a lot of people could afford to take out a mortgage/big loan and buy one. But most of us don't because it isn't practical. Big DSLRs are not practical for the larger consumer market. People in general are not interested in power and flexibility but more concerned about fashion and marketing. Apple prove that by becoming one of the most popular brands in electronics despite the fact their computers and such are far from the top end in power and quality. People still think "oh I'm doing photography, must buy apple!" and it's a joke. I sit here on an iMac for 2 reasons, it was an AIO and convenient, and my wife wanted us to have something stylish looking. It's about how good your product makes you look, and holding a camera phone, or a nifty Fuji X-T1 camera to take your picture looks so much cooler than lugging around a massive camera with 200mm lens on the end and some big strap around your neck/shoulder and a big backpack full of gear. My wife has the Nokia phone with 40+mp on it. Makes amazing quality images (not at night though) and she doesn't need a big-ass long telephone because she can post-crop that image and it still looks great. [/QUOTE]
