Wrong, Jared is a longtime Nikon SLR and DSLR shooter and not beholden to any brand. He has used and tested them all, but they don't pay him at all. He goes on junkets from all brands, so that is the extent to which he takes anything from them. They loan him gear to try out, not give it to him.
The junkets, loaner gear, etc. aren't payment? I don't get them, do you?
I have seen him change his tune regarding eq., from video to video.
MILC are like the iPad and other Tablets. The quality of computers and DSLR's reach a level that was so high, no one was buying new. To further the issue, cell phones were eating big time into the point and shoot market.
Camera and computer mfg's needed something to get us to buy new. It does them no good for us to keep our gear for 3,5,10 years or more.
Enter tablets and MILC. New, whiz bang tech.
OOPS, now the tablets have reached saturation. What's next there. Don't tell anyone, but laptop mfg's. are going to switch to ARM processors and OS makers, Apple and M$, will accommodate this. The benefit will be multi day battery length. We will all buy one.
I suspect MILC will reach the same saturation point before long, then something else new will come out.
I don't claim to know what "professionals" will do or need as I am not one.
I do know Canon has been big time into Professional Movie and Cinema gear. They are keeping their "niche" Professional Gear separate from the craziness of the consumer market.
I also know they are trying desperately to fend off the cell phone camera.
For me, I don't like the feel of MILC in my hands and will keep with my DSLR's for a while. 20 to 24 MP is plenty for me. The current DSLR gear is better than I am.
