>Canon
Good if you stick to their top 3 or 4 camera lines. Otherwise they'll smack you with the canon cripplehammer. Same goes for their lenses. Basically if you have the money great, poor if you're poor

>Sony
The tech consoomers brand of choice. Not terrible, but kind of off-putting. They've mostly fixed their ergo and menu problems. Older cameras seem to hang around because Sony would rather release a new model than do a firmware upgrade, but the prices on older models remain pretty high

>Fuji
MF is good, but not true mf. APSC just feels a bit pointless now. I think their cameras look neat though

>Panasonic
The value brand, especially for photography. People who don't care about video tend to overlook them. Get shit upon by spec-sheet obsessed YouTubers who all love Sony, which should tell you everything. I like their ergos, especially the s5. M43 is pointless

Nikon
>Z mount if pretty great. Like Panasonic they are on the receiving end of a lot of spec-sheet retardation. The z7 range was basically the perfect landscape camera, and they seem to have killed it off, so fuck them

>Olympus
I have an om10 film camera, it's nice. I don't give a fuck about their digital stuff

>Pentax
Great ergos, mostly great cameras, terrible AF (like actually terrible, not like people say Panasonic or Nikon mirrorless have terrible AF), that has only just caught up with 2016. Lmaonolenses but you can buy an 80s screw driven autofocus lens second hand for the cost of a new lens from another manufacturer and play the "will it have fungus" game. Basically dead apart from maybe making some film cameras (but they can only manage to produce one every 5 years). Ricoh absolutely fucked it.

>Leica
Panasonic cameras rebranded and sold for 10x the price.

>Ricoh
Killed Pentax and should never be forgiven (along with hoya)

>Sigma
I really like the sigma art lenses. Their cameras are awful. They should have done the decent thing and bought Pentax and let those madlads loose on foevon
