    They could try innovating, I couldn’t give a shite about the cameras really. If I want to take proper photos I’ll get a DSLR. I’ll never want their smart processing of pics either.

    Give me cool features again.

      For me the camera was a selling point. I was tired of hauling around a dslr on my trips. I find that the smart processing is good enough 90% of the time and I don’t want to both haul the camera and handle the post processing anymore. I’d rather just have 90% quality photos of my family and spend more time with them. Hire a photographer for weddings, etc, but really the smart processing is pretty impressive for day to day and even trips.

      Unfortunately for you, you’re in the minority. People have proven they’ll upgrade for better cameras.

        See how I said “I”, that means it’s a personal view so the statistics for the masses don’t matter…but also this post is about declining sales.

        You made zero substantive input to this conversation.

            This is the reply of someone with nowhere else to go, there is no need to be rude just as there is no need to be relevant I guess.

            You were snarky initially and it was unnecessary, you get back what you put out.

              My intention wasn’t to be snarky. Sorry you took it that way. 🤷🏼‍♂️ Get outside and enjoy the day instead of bickering with me. I’m just some stranger on the interweb. Let it go. I’m not worth it. lol.

                I had a lovely day, it was a stunning day on the Danube. Hope yours was just as nice.
