All very difficult to find any credibility when the shams are becoming public knowledge. Yes, there are good products coming out of the factory, but I think this doesn’t bode well for the future.
The very early fans who have devoted say 15 years of idolization must feel like The Leftovers. What of the employees that knew this for years but soldiered on. All the ‘hydrogen’ gone from their balloons. The military theme permeating their industrial design no longer implies a strength threatening the status quo, more a meek illusion of defense of their liquid foundation.

Yeah you can. I've had to change 10x over say, to be a better person. But yes Rick, so many people are slow to change, slow to agree with what is better.
They are not moved as they hear, they don't want to even hear at times, they are stuck to stop thinking quickly. So progress is slow, and they hire friends and people of some sort of power to advance things for them. So, things are slow, varying, stuttering, lacking the clear, deep, concise technical and emotionally practical vision ahead. These things are an artform as much as the best piece of art. The practical solution must provoke a visceral emotional response, of connection, joy, ease, practicality, style. Steve was good at spotting a winner, and talent to do these things. Red..
After the disaster of high pricing of SI and Red. You could do a company called Purple, and design a camera more like a jewel, that would be style and marketing compared to the military design, and a certain market will buy it, but you must make sure the image and everything else is great, even if you have to go fullhd this round. Perfectly balanced control and handling, the eye candy must not be skin deep. The business is an art too. There is so many dimensions to product design, but what if you are two dimensional, then one dimensional bits and pieces? Your cases are just boxes, your controls bits and pieces. How do you see?
I like industrial design, you can say more the magnificent artful style. I get the little Speer museum. It's about the presence of the space. But what presence did the Red box give? An Abrahams tank could be said to have industrial style, hummers and those south African troop carriers more, but how much further can you go. Just look at modern BM cameras, but how much further can you go. It is something calculated in the subconscious and felt, like framing a scene.
