I like opinionated camera manufacturers. We need more of them. We need more experimentation and more competition in the sensor space. During the film era we got about a dozen formats on 135 and 120 films, because camera and film manufacturers weren't closely tied together. Today camera manufacturers cannot afford to experiment, because they need to pay Sony to make them a sensor. Going digital has increased the cost of camera manufacturing, because you cannot buy a sensor separately from the camera body like you used to be able with film cameras and film.
