Still peddling D610s ?!? They must have dumptruck full left over. I read that SLRs make great artificial reefs. The fish really like looking at themselves in the mirrors.

Yup. Still peddling the D610. It's been on the Nikon USA site forever. I've seen it on sale for as low as a thousand bucks. Not now. I see that the D850 new sale price went up by $300.

I personally think that an extensive discussion of orbital mechanics would make everyone here smarter.

But would that be SLR smarter or EVF smarter ? Small minds need to know.

The price of the D610 is $1600 which means Nikon doesn't want to sell it perhaps they have very few of them to sell.

You never can tell, the Japanese camera manufacturers could cease production of DSLRs, but sell the tooling to someone in India or China, who would continue to produce them. It’s been done many times over with any number of manufactured products ranging from tractors to motorcycles to cars to tires to Tupperware.

Neither. The knowledge would help with doing taxes.

Imagine there were no mirrors
It's easy if you try
No DSLRs to slow us
Above us only sky
Imagine all the photographers happy everyday

You may say I'm a dreamer
But I'm not the only one
I hope some day you'll join us
And the world will be as one

What I heard was:

Mirrorless killed the Dee-S-L-R…

An example of selling tooling occurred in 1973 when Graflex (By then owned by Singer) sold its tooling to Toyo, a company that makes expensive view cameras. It's surprising to me that Graflex was manufacturing press cameras into the 1970s. For those youngsters out there, Graflex made the Speed Graphic and Crown Graphic press cameras that you see in old movies. Their last model was the Super Graphic, discontinued in 1973. There were many variations on these cameras in different formats. These cameras were the go-to cameras for press photographers in the first half of the 20th century.

Come on folks... The same ones weeping about the demise of DSLRs are the same ones who cried about film... Get over it. Wait till the Phone cams take over and we will have a REAL river of tears...

A good photograph has the most pixels.
A good photographer has a mirrorless camera.

Following this thread most here will not miss the discontinuance.
They have all said they will stick with what they have DSLR wise due to age.
This is not the group Nikon is really interested in anyway.

Just as the tractor killed the horse.

No murder, just replacement.

I don’t want to make any enemies, but some of you guys remind me of my classmates and me ages ago. We argued endlessly about what brand of truck was better, what brand of tractor was better, what brand of seed corn was the best and on and on.

I’ve grown up now and everything I have is old and outdated. Trucks, tractors, motorcycles, cameras, the loaf of bread in the cabinet, canned goods and so on. When my professional chef son comes by, he goes through my canned goods and tosses the old.

Did you know that a brand new unopened squirt bottle of mustard changes color from yellow to brown when it’s 7 years outdated? I would not have believed it had that bottle not languished in the back of the cabinet for nearly a decade.
