Disappointed with the X-T10? Don't worry, Nikon made it even worse :)

X-T10 may be not that exciting but look at what Nikon folks get in those days: They announced a sort of selfie camera for dogs!

Hahaha....didn't the make a selfie stick too?

I can't help thinking this must be some kind of spoof, yet that website appears to be for real. Truly bizarre.

...must resist making a joke here... must resist.

That is just so ....... there just aren't any words. It's like Nikon looked at the GoPro harnesses and thought "Me too" then realised their batteries wouldn't last long enough.

 

Ah well, it will do wonders for the likes of Hoya. They can just rebadge all their UV filters as "New and Improved Drool Proof Lens Protection"

 

Also did anyone else think the dog in the video was AWFULLY CLEAN. I know enough about border collies to know they NEVER stay that clean for very long. First muddy puddle and that camera is done for.

Quite amazing.

I really regret that I missed out on the X-T2 through 9

Is the XT-10 really that bad? It took everything I love about the XT1 and put it in a cheaper package. The XT-1 is my main camera but I'm excited to have the XT-10 as a second body now. It will be a nice upgrade from the XE1

I think the people hoping it would be a "cheaper" bargain X-T1, and can tell the difference, were disappointed. It's not. 

 

However, for those people, who don't value all the differences between the X-T1 and X-T10, then they will certainly be happy to have a cheaper option.

 

I'm kind of in the same situation as you. I have both an X-E1 and an X-T1.  I know they are not the same camera and I use them differently.  I got what I paid for in each.  X-T10 certainly makes a great upgrade for the X-E1 for me. Although, I am no rush as I already have an X-T1.

 

I am neither disappointed or surprised about the X-T10. I did not expect a "cheaper" X-T1.   I think people will buy and get exactly what they pay for and value.  If they don't value the differences between X-T1 and X-T10 then the X-T1 certainly looked overpriced and they will be happy with the X-T10 because it looks like a bargin.

 

If they need to ask what's the difference between X-T1 and X-T10, then I just tell people to go for the X-T10 as they likely will not need all the X-T1 offers over the X-10.  Ignorance is bliss, I figure. If I need to explain or point out the difference, they probably wouldn't appreciate it  or utilize the difference enough in the first place.  Know what I mean?

What makes you think people cannot get or make good use of what weather sealing, buffer size or physical width are?

If that Nikon thing is real, and I shot Nikon, I would avoid the internet for a few days.

Nothing about dogs on NCN (http://newcameranews.com/), it's looking bad.

If 'Grizzler' was asked, I'm sure he'd rather be rocking the X series rather than...that.
