I agree totally if you're talking about cameras of the same era, but the choice of camera to buy might hinge on specific features that are to the liking of the buyer and also whether someone has invested a ton of money in glass that is specific to a manufacturer. I could buy a car with what I've spent on Nikon equipment. Do I want to spend that again just to switch to Canon or Sony?
Unless you have very deep pockets or are just plain crazy.

If, you have ever worked with 120, you would know better than to make a statement like that. Your statement shows a complete misunderstanding of the quality of a Hasselblad 120 image. My company used to make bill board size images with the Hasselblad. You completely underestimate it's image making quality. You really do.
I have used that camera commercially for over 20 years, how many years have you shot 120 professionally?

FYI
Kodak made a presentation banner that filled the width of Grand Central Station in NYC from a single 35mm frame of Kodachrome.

Your first 10,000 images are your worst. That's when you should change to a better camera.

Jimmy, what is wrong with having 1 of every model. I am sure one would be best for day and one for night and one for action and another for stills and you, the man ready for any ocasion.

Thank you! End of discussion.

In my mind, same-same applies to shooting raw vs jpeg.

I agree with you. I can't understand why we can't just look between the four corners of the image to determine its quality. We can quibble about which technology allows us to achieve the results that we want and if we were honest with ourselves about that we'd find out that that different cameras, lenses, editing programs, etc work for different folks at different times depending on their preferences, needs and income. It seems to me that we all do well when everyone does well.

It is incorrect to determine "best" through "Quality" and here's why. Quality is determined by conformance to a standard. In manufacturing we have Quality Control. The item has a finite specification that it must meet to be deemed as meeting the quality.
When an item is determined to have failed to meet the particulars in the standard it is rejected to be reworked, recycled or destroyed.
A plastic $1.00 McDonald's Happy Meal watch has met the same quality standard as that of a $25,000 Rolex. They have both passed the manufacturer's Standard of Quality and released for distribution. Of course I would rather own the Rolex for many reasons however in terms of the product, they have both been considered to be of quality. For those who have ever had to defend a product in a lawsuit can relate to how quality is defined and determined.
Now, I own Nikon gear however I would rather it be Canon. I would also rather be married to a Supermodel however I've been married for 54-years so that won't happen either.

It's tough to switch brands when you figure out the cost if new glass. Your old glass is getting you small % of what you're paying for new glass.

100% in agreement. Personally I'd love to have an R series for all the neat features. Whether or not I'd ever use those features, is an unknown. So for now, I'll wait and in about 10 yrs get one of the R cameras - used. I imagine used 5D4's will flood the market pretty soon.

Clearly we each have our own favorite camera for many reasons - perceived quality - perceived value, etc, and it is unlikely given our investments, that we are liable to change.
So please can we stop with the X vs Y vs Z.
