That's not entirely true, althoughI'm not sure I like the direction. A good example if Fuji's X-T* line, where, as one reviewer noted, "I had thought I'm buing a camera, but it turned out I bought a computer with lens attached". It does all creative tricks to compensate for inaccuracies coming from the hardware, especially the lens - but at the price of draining the batteries exctremely fast, and each lens need a firmware update. Is the final result good? Yes. Do I like it more than more standard solution from Canon and Nikon? Not necessarily. It seems cheaper though.
