Do you think the people who built these platforms are teens? I'm a 27 yo engineer and Marxist through and through. Just because workers unions of the past were overturned by tyrants and capitalists alike, doesn't mean the basic ideas weren't sound. The system in which I am forced to participate in is fundamentally flawed.

All of those things are by design

And this makes sane programmers sad.

I'm using Thunder for Android right now. Sync might eventually take over my Lemmy time, but Thunder is a seriously impressive Flutter app.

I have a R6 body with some lenses. First and foremost you should confirm the lens lineup is what you want. There really aren't any practical third party lenses for the RF mount, so what you see on Canon's site is what you should plan for. For me the lenses are fine, though I would be lying if I didn't mention my jealousy towards the X, E and L mount lense collections. The R6 body does two things well in my eyes: low grain high iso and superb IBIS. Personally, coming from an EOS-M system, these were the primary reasons I was wanting to upgrade in the first place. That being said, the R8 is now out and for the price I think I would go with that if I were buying today. As for other cameras, I find Canon cameras to be infinitely more comfortable than most others. Judging by pictures I've seen, perhaps Nikon or Lumix cameras might be fine these days, but the Sony and Fujifilm cameras I've tried were designed for either aliens or small hands. Neither of what apply to me.

Also regarding price differences, NOTHING in these price categories are going to be 1:1. This applies to literally any kind of non-essential good. After a certain point the value/dollar exponentially decreases.
