I believe this is certainly true with Moose and Chuck. Frankly, with
my neck and back, I'd be better off not carrying ANY camera equipment
around. But that ain't happening.
What I am seeing here, though, is something else going on. We are
rewarding Fujifilm for listening to us when we asked for just a few
very simple things--optical/evf hybrid viewfinders, shutter speed
dials and aperture rings, and E-1 like colors. Oh, and lenses that are
producing an organic image.
But I could be all wet on this and it's just an illusion as people are
buying them only because they're cute.
