I can't see buying another camera for some time at least. I have two OMD EM 1.2s with a fairly wide range of glass also have a lot of canon FD lenses for which I bought a couple of Sony body's and no II'm not a Sony fan I still like the rendition of my old Canon lenses. Since using them with digital cameras I noticed how sharp they really are. I use some of them with my m43 cameras to great effect. I only get tempted by new glass at the moment. I love my Olympus system can't see any reason to change not even for the OMD EM 1.3, maybe for the 1.4 or... Sorry I'm drooling over the Panasonic Lumix G Leica DG Vario-Summilux 10-25mm, F1.7 ASPH. Lens which I can't afford but it is going onto my wish list. Oh what a wonderful piece of glass.

Goals give us a clear picture of the next camera to buy.

Cool looking Hassleblad. Which one is it?

I believe you will find that it is an extra that will come with the next new Ferrari you buy. Check the glovebox when you get it!

I just upgraded from my Nikon D500 to a Z6, so I guess the next logical step, if I ever need to take it, will be a Z7.

With Nikon, if you got the Z6, you could get the FTZ adapter - works well, and you can use your older lenses (of course, DX lenses will still be DX, if that matters to you, but you most definitely can use them).

I'm sticking with 2 Sony's.

It wouldn't fit in the glove box of the last few Ferraris I've worked with, actually it probably wouldn't fit in the boot/trunk either!.

Well, maybe when Ferrari puts out a minivan!

Having bought the D 600 as soon as it came out, only to suffer the value loss shortly after it was released (Still a good shooter) I'm waiting for the second coming of the full frame Z's.

I have a D500, I’m selling my D7100, D5300 , various film cameras etc. I plan on purchasing a Nikon Z50 kit, when the Holiday rebates come around. I really am satisfied with the reviews on the Z50.

As a Computer Industry veteran, and that's what our cameras are today, the wise buyer got the best results with a 1-release behind philosophy. New out of the box version 5 (at a discount) just as Version 6 was released. There was usually 24-36 more months of support and it got the job done. After the Version 6 kinks were worked out, then incorporate the new features if they add productivity and upgrade to v6 at about the time it's available at discount anticipating version 7--OR the new Mega Bonanza obsoletes everything else is announced. Anticipate a while before the kinks are even discovered on the MB (for short). Works for Software but the updates come more easily.

I think the mainstream Photography manufacturers like Nikon, Canon, Pentax and Olympus got swept up by the invading Consumer Electronics beasts like Sony and Panasonic who managed the full integration of Digital Photography/video and Consumer Electronics ease of use (??) and glitz. Their astute consumer marketing on top of very savvy Professional User penetration took the industrial Products oriented Nikon/Canon?Pentax?Olympus by storm.

With the retrospective of the last Century across several MAJOR industries from Auto to aerospace to Metals, to Plastics.composites, to clothing to Consumer Electronics/ telephones/personal computing to inform us, we see how industries/products progress. While they all seem different, they all go through the same phases:
Invention, early adopters, mainstream applications, mass adoption, upgrades for lower prices, to Consolidation to disruption to new ways of solving the same problem--or using vs. owning, etc.

Heck, the pricing formula is still the same. The early adopter will pay $1,000-$1800, the enthusiast will pay about $700 and the volume purchasers will begin at $500 and the big volumes wills settle at $300 to $250 trending off toward $97.96. Track the super Zoom category--peaking at $1600 to start and already leaking some pricing power as Fuji and Sony battle for that space. The ultra portables will be in enthusiast's hands at $599 by Christmas............

Couldn’t agree more, I shoot mostly digital, but still shoot film as well.

I moved from a 40D to a 5D many years ago, still shoot with the 5D as I print mostly 8x10s. Never noticed any extra weight and I'm 89 but not particularly weight sensitive unless it's a lot heavier, like maybe 1 lb. to 4 or 5. Harry
