I agree with you, Canon and Nikon seem like the "Costco" brands so maybe while he pointed them out. But Sonys mirrorless are top of the industry. Fujifilm has great cameras. And you cant forget Leica

Leica is using Sony sensors, so them as a selection is mostly for the name and aesthetic. The UI is more limited and shooting RAW negates anything to do with “color science” selections for the default in-camera JPG encoders.

  > Leica is using Sony sensors Do you have a source for that? As far as I remember they have been very secretive about their sensor supply chain.

    Some Leicas use CMOSIS, others used Sony sensors. In any case, Sony makes the best sensors by a mile.

  They are not using Sony sensors. They are using CMOSIS sensors (which has been acquired by ams). Fujifilm, Nikon, and Panasonic are using Sony sensors, however.

  -Name, aesthetic and UI. Rangefinder cameras do have their purpose still - being able to see what is going on outside the frame is a great aid, as is its ease of focusing in low light. And, to a lesser extent now that mirrorless cameras are a thing - their unobtrusiveness.

  - Each company has unique glass. - Each company has unique physical control schemes and software UX. - Color profiles allow you to apply the color science to RAW files. Some apps will automatically apply the color profile you select while shooting when you are processing later.

    My response was addressing the perennial partisan quips that brand loyalists in the camera scene have about preferring one brand’s color science over another. I’m basically saying it’s moot if you shoot raw because your color grading can be as wild as your dreams in post. Unless you’re a live journalist, you probably should be shooting raw.

Sony and Panasonic have really strong offerings if you primarily do video, but i think the vast majority of people who take photographs for a living still use Canon and Nikon.
