It may be an extra/backup, or maybe you want a small compact camera for travel. Of course, you could be planning to update and replace your Main Shooter. I have my D750, Sony a6000, and Fuji X-T30, in addition so some older cameras, so I'm all set. But what about you?

Probably the R5 and I cannot decide which R lens yet.......so many toys to pick from. I donated my Nikon gear, have used the Sony & Fuji but passed on them, have the Rb67 and all 3 telephotos and old Roleis and Voightlanders.....I'm good

Hello! I’m new here so I hope I’m responding correctly.
I’m getting a Canon EOS Rebel something😊. The something will depend on cost and on the lenses I want for the work I’m studying: macro and florals. I’ve noted that Canon has different mm treads for their various models and picking the right lenses to the model I want has already turned out to be an extensive learning curve? Am I wrong?

Any lens designed to fit a Canon EOS EF mount will work on your future rebel. For macro, an 85mm or 100mm macro, IMHO, is a good bet. The Canon 100mm macro 2.8 (either regular or L) has been around for a long time and is readily available for a reasonable price.

The next camera I would like to buy doesn’t exist yet, so let’s just call it the D400. It would be identical to the D500 model, with one exception, no video/movie components or features in it whatsoever; would be nice if it also had two SD card slots and the next generation Expeed processor. Yes I know the Nikon Df is out there, but I don’t particularly care for that retro look.
I own several Nikon DSLR bodies, and have not as yet used any of the video features. Would like to see Nikon come out with a model that forgoes all of that, but I know that in this era it will never happen.

Too funny! Every time I buy a camera, I say, “that’s the last one”; but, of course, it isn’t!!!
I have the Sony a7iii that I will probably upgrade one day. I also have a Sony RX100iii and will have the a6000 soon. I just bought the Fuji XT4 that I’m still learning, so I’m good for now.
Oh yeah, I still have a Nikon 5000 that I will probably give to my granddaughter. She is starting college to learn photography and videography, although this camera may be too outdated for her!!!
Good topic!

Very easy to Google.
Obviously different MM of lenses would NOT be filter threads. Most all lenses including macro have a length in MM. I am sure if you look closely at your lenses they have a MM designation somewhere indicating the length.

As a non canon shooter those designations are also fairly meaningless for me. I remember friends with 450D, 550D, 5D etc but the actual model mentioned is currently unknown & quite irrelevant to my reply.
I was replying to a post that mentioned 'mm threads'. Focal lengths aren't threads so I was confirming which was meant, and indicating that both can be present and measured in mm.
FWIW no lenses will quote focal lengths in MM. The abbreviation for millimetres is in lowercase, switching the first letter (the multiplier) to upper case increases it drastically from 'milli' to 'mega' that's 1,000,000,000 times bigger. I don't know any SI units that would use a capital M for the second part (the actual units), but there are quite a few derived units that I don't use every day. Google doesn't seem to either.
I do have quite a few lenses with no mm designation. Just on my desk there's a Carl Zeiss Jena Sonnar 4/135 (with no units shown anywhere but the focusing scales) then I have several others with the focal lengths in either cm or inches. Easy enough for me to convert, but possibly completely confusing for a beginner.
I've also lenses that show the filter size (with the mm), on the front of the lens. The diameter symbol (crossed through circle) isn't well known to the general population so again it has the potential to confuse.

I purchased a Sony a6000 a few months ago after saying I wasn’t going to buy another camera. 😊😊

No plans too. Why? It works fine and I'm comfortable with them (5D IV & 7DII).

Have used a D7100 for multiple Nikon holidays to AZ, OR and WA. Upgraded to a D850, used it at Disneyland last summer. Have a 24-70 f/2.8 almost permanently mounted on the D850. However, have several older manual focus Nikkors that I totally enjoy using; they do nicely on the D850 body, better than on the D7100. I would like the Nikon fairy to leave either a D750 or Z6 under my pillow some night, would use that almost exclusively with the manual focus lenses; small and light and very portable. Right now the D7100 has a current iteration Nikon 70-200 f/2.8 on it. I just don't like swapping out lenses a lot.

Saving for a D500 and a 200-500mm or equivalent lens. Should have enough $$ to get them used or refurbished by next year.

Not a collector, so only have an old a6000 (with 2 primes and 2 zooms) and an Olympus TG-5, which together meet all my needs. Love the a6000, but may look at the next a6xxx when it comes out. We'll see.

I have a Fuji X100V, X-T2 (with all the lenses I need), and the camera in the iPhone 8+.
In the next year or two I will upgrade my iPhone (for 5G support) and hence get a new camera with it. I can only imagine how many technological advances there will be in that iPhone camera.
