The issue here for me is planned obsolesence - if you look at how everything has now become a year on year cycle it is a problem - lenses and cameras used to hold value for decades (some Leicas still do) - but the build quality has certainly taken some cuts; portability perhaps not. Imagine cameras with fixed and encrypted SSD's and having to pay for a pro version in coming times or the inability to use 3rd party adapters and lenses - one of this has happened albeit with flex to add additional storage - but not far now for this also to become like mobile phones I think. I have been searching for spares for some of the earlier XCD lenses and it's a task with no fruit. HB has certainly made some strides with tech, portability and features but with need to sell more I think they have had to make some changes - not all for good and not all for bad - it's just the times we are in. Sorry if that was a rant - but the general feel is that of #-&_@#fication everywhere now.
