I think I get tired of people reading something on the internet and believing it must be true.

It doesn't take a genius to see the inevitable way this is going.
DSLRs are going the way of film cameras. If you can't see this you must be blind.

If you want to be a better photographer, there are two things you must do above all others: buy a mirrorless camera and use it.

Again, what it says in the above msm article is INCORRECT. Yet it keeps getting reported here.
Nikon has stopped development of DSLRs. Nikon has NOT stopped production of DSLRs.
This is from the Nikkei article that the above MSM article referenced:
"From now on, Nikon intends to focus on digital mirrorless cameras, but production and distribution of existing SLR models will continue."

This year, something like 30% of their camera sales came from DSLRs, so I don’t see Nikon in a hurry to lose that DSLR revenue. DSLR production and sales will continue. However as revenue continues to decrease on the DLSRs, there will come a point beyond which it won’t be profitable to produce them.

if you say so
you don't need to know about composition, lighting & the exposure triangle, just buy a camera 😂Jul 16, 2022 17:09:33 #

Cameras are a very slim portion of Canon's products. The company can and will continue making image capturing devices until they become unprofitable.

you don't need to know about composition, lighting & the exposure triangle, just buy a camera 😂Not just any camera, all you need is a mirrorless camera. And you can take that to the bank because you read it here! 🤣

Not a good thing nor a bad thing for the consumers. It's something manufacturers have to do to survive. It's only a bad thing for people who feel bad because their cameras are now out of fashion.

Mind you, some of the biggest car manufacturers in the world are ceasing production of petrol/diesel fueled cars and going to full electric propulsion.
Canon and Nikon have been around for over 100 years I think and maybe they can see the writing on the wall.
Some people call it progress

And therein is a question: Can you shoot fashion with a camera that is out of fashion?
