Dear Fahim,
You are poetic! Have we actually neglected the
MILK this week’s incoming waves of new offerings?
After all, Nikon burst forth with two and 3 lenses and A PDF from Canon leaked the coming R system. Actually, behind the scenes a number of us have been discussing these new offerings at length.
But here, almost everyone already has at least one mirrorless perfectly competent and mature mirrorless system that they’ve dedicated much thought to and we’ve discussed, but we never, AFAIK, called them “MILK” cameras.
But why not? Well that term have little advantages to us. We don’t call our female companions, young and old, rich and poor, educated or not, “PWOPS”!
“Persons without penises”
Yes, many new cameras have no need for mirrors!
But they also mostly have no need for rangefinders, spirit levels, interchangeable backs or twin lenses!
We already have been using Leicas, Olympus, Panasonic, Sony and recently Fuji mirrorless camera’s for years that adding the later arrivals from the hold out dinosaur giants doesn’t justify any new terminology, surprise, frenzy or dances of joy. Nikon fanboys can rejoice at last, yes I admit that, but what is really remarkable about this week’s camera disclosures? I will mention that in due time, I promise
Anyway, for now, tell me, why should we call these common cameras, that we are used to, each for special reasons, by a some odd marketing name, MILK, that doesn’t respect the differences that ARE important.
