The Wheel of Time turns, grinding DSLRs into dust, leaving memories that soon become legend, where not even the Wise of UHH can still remember the technical details.

I'm headed to my local camera store later today to see if they have any D850s left at the sale price. Thinking about bringing one home. No vampires or ugly people in my house to fear the mirror.

Yep......a DSLR is a medium rare ribeye saturated in butter.

Why do those people who have a choice in a system that still has DSLRs and mirrorless still purchase technologically antiquated and some discontinued DSLRs that came out years ago that will soon not be supported.
They have the option of buying far more technologically advanced cameras for the same money that will still receive service.
Just curious what is the driving force to spend money on old obsolete cameras?

You are contradicting your thematic statement, You are implying new cameras, DSLR vs Mirrorless. Both, as new cameras, have the same warranty, the same long-term parts supply and the same cost. Say Nikon D850 and Nikon Z7 or whichever Z you want to compare. The choice between the two comes down to looking at the world through a prism and mirror or a video screen. There are personal preferences for either. Then there is the issue of existing lens ownership, only the G seies andf later lenses work with AF with the FTZ, and adapters are a pain, so there's that.
Now let us look at the used market, there the differences continue, a D800 vs a Z6, now we are getting closer, still even more so rthe costs and lens selection are an even greater determining preference. It's the lenses mostly, and 36 mpix.
Kinda sounds like the old audio arguments when CD's came out, everyone starting dumping their records, that's when I built my collection and had all the high-end TT's to appreciate them on, but...Digital turned me around, sold my records (most of them) kept one simple to use state of the art B&O TT and carried on building a high-end CD collection now super cheap. But I digress a bit to prove a point.
Sysyems come and go in popularity, Mirrorless is the future, not all of us like it or can afford it
I always debate between using my Nikon D700's, D300s or my brace of Olympus OMD-e5's. I tire of the confusing little buttons on the OLY's but like the size for travel. I get great pics from both, horses for courses I guess

My D850 does everything and more than i need. Why would i upgrade at this point just to say i did. My photos and mirrorless would not be able to tell apart imo. I have 21 lens also and ready to sell about 15 of them and sure they will go

I'm thinking about selling my dinosaurs and lenses and taking the mirrorless plunge......oh, thank God, it was a dream, man I'm glad I woke up.

Life is too short to only have a camera with a mirror.
I have four. So I must be doomed.

When you know you need a mirrorless camera, you have the knowledge to succeed.

If you look at his excellent images, he doesn’t need it - he’s just messing with you for fun. BTW, all the images he posts here are shot on a Canon 5D3 or film unless Paul has finally made the leap to mirrorless, which I believe is on his roadmap.

I regularly post results of mirrorless technology, mostly mixed with 1980s manual focus lenses: https://www.uglyhedgehog.com/t-736731-1.html
