Nikon still manufactures the F6 at a ridiculous
price and how long has digital been available
(F6 is a film camera for those who don't know).


Leicwise Leica. Amusing, entertaining info.

It is doubtful that Nikon "still manufactures"
the F6. More realistically, they built a batch
sometime back in The Dark Ages. And when
that supply is finally, slowly exhausted at its
ridiculous price selling to a tiny niche market
then it will finally disappear from the catalog.

What makes you think DSLRs will go away.
I think mirrorless is just a fad that will go
away in the next few years. Mirrorless have
no advantages over DSLRs ........

Thank you once again for a "short course" about ML and 4/3rds sensors. I appreciate your time and effort to summarize your past posts and bring this together. You're a credit to UHH.

Yes, how long will it be before DSLR Cameras become extinct. They say Sales are falling for Nikon & Canon, How long before only Mirrorless Camera will be the only choice in town. If we need repairs done, where will we go,...Japan? Thailand? Indonesia? We might as well move on to the new Technology, but how long will that last?
Well I am not sure what the Shutter Count is on my Nikon D3300, but I hope it is low.😳🙄🤔😣


If you know what you are doing with your D3300 you don't have to buy into the hype. Besides my D7200 I have a D3300 as well and at this point I consider it a throwaway. It goes everywhere with me and get's used a lot. When it croaks I'll just buy another used or refurbished one for less than 300 bucks. With my style of shooting I don't think my pictures would get any better with a mirrorless camera. I leave those to the fanboys and measurebators.

The universe works in crazy ways. You can have good luck wash over you in waves, just like bad luck. Or, you can change to a mirrorless camera.

None of my computers have a card slot for my floppy discs. Luckily I had the good sense to copy the files onto my backup external drive. I still have 5-1/2" floppies from a long-ago computer, and even cassettes from an old CoCo we had once upon a time. Now my new desktop doesn't even have a CD or DVD drive, though I still have my laptop for that. And then I think somewhere I have old beta videtapes somewhere.
Why, oh why don't they make computers that have drives for all that old media? And 50 years ago I took a programming class in senior year of HS in the UVa's Univac computer. I think I still have some of those old punchcards but no way to use them.
What will I do when my DSLR is obsolete? Oh, no! All will be lost!
Meanwhile, I will enjoy the tech toys I have, remember fondly the old ones long gone, and adapt if for some reason my current technology is outmoded.
None of my computers have a card slot for my flopp... (show quote)


Amen!

It seems to be the hot "toy" I say this after buying a Sony mirrorless at a camera show in NYC,
an old saying; It's a poor workman who blames his tools.
I think this discussion will be like Canon , Nike and Sony.
