Some of the newer Rs or the just starting to be rumored 'II' versions of some of them.

I'm really curious. Just today, I'm seeing several R-series cameras for sale?

Why?


And several D850's, D500's, a D7200, a Z9, a9, and a Z7ii. What's your point.

People who make rude replies while failing to use <quote reply> to give context should actually be the first removed and banned. Bye. Bye.

Bought it, tried it, don't really like it because:
1. The controls are moved around, and old muscle memory is unhappy when using it.
2. They use a lot of battery power because to just look through them to spot subjects they have to be on, and they don't have or don't like carrying around batteries.
3. They found that aside from being mirrorless and a bit smaller and lighter, the pictures are not spectacularly better than their DSLR bodies, so not really worth it to them to relearn the controls and stock up on batteries.
4. Furthermore, they need to buy new lenses because using them with the old lenses + adapter wipes out most of the smaller/lighter thing. And those new lenses are $$$$.

I have 1 full frame DSLR (5Div), 3 crop sensor DSLRs (7Dii, 80D, 90D) with a pile of EF/EF-s lenses and an R7 with 1 RF lens and one RF-s lenses plus adapter and 1.4x extender. I am making the effort to learn the new camera, but actually my new Sony RX10iv is getting a lot of my time as it is so handy to take just-in-case. If I plan on a trip to do the birds at the Riverwalk then I will haul out the R7 with 100-400 + extender or the DSLR of choice with the Tamron 150-600 G2 and extenders. And at 77 last month, I may consider hiring a lineman from the high school team to act as "gun bearer". A couple of bucks, a stop at the fast food joint and maybe some free photography lessons (I taught basic photography a bit on the side when I was still teaching history, geography and government.) and maybe the loan of a camera now and then should get me a good strong one fairly cheap. Besides, he can double as my bodyguard to prevent some #$@&% from mugging me for my wallet and that expensive photo gear.

I love your great sense of humor! It all makes sense to me being 78.

I wish you used "quote reply" so we know who the "you" is that you are complaining is "snarky". A "snorkie" is a dog breed, crossbreed of a Miniature Schnauzer and a Yorkshire Terrier, about 8-12 pounds with 20 pounds of YAP.

In THAT case, maybe he really meant exactly what he wrote ?

Probably not. The OP said he bought the Canons contemplating a switch to Canon. He realized that he was more comfortable with the Nikons he already owned.

Six pages of guesses when the facts were available. The good part of all this is that all the extra posts put money in Admin's pocket, keeping UHH open and free.

If you would use quote reply, we'd know to whom you are referring.

How do you know so many?
Your sample base?
Did you do a count vs sales vs other brands?
Rather presumptuous question with no data or facts.


Seems like 2 cameras from one guy are for sale. These cameras are expensive and we are in hard times, maybe he needed the money. Being a historical Nikon shooter, maybe he tried a Z9 and decided it felt more like home. I have two 7d mkii’s, 2 5dmkIV’s, a5ds r, a 1dxmkii, a canon POWERSHOT sx70, a 90d, A SonyRX10mkiv, a r6 and I recently bought an r5. Also lots of glass all ef or ef-s, some rf, a24-105 and a 100-400 with a 1.4 teleconverter. I would have a hard time adjusting to Nikon. Except for the Sony and the POWERSHOT, they all take the same barreries. With the cameras and lenses I have, I don’t think I can ever blame bad work on bad or cheap equipment. I haven’t really gotten into the mirrorless cameras yet except for the Sony. I think technically it is a mirror less camera. I’ve noticed in general that lots more Nikons are for sale on this website. I don’t know why.

It very well may be to get a camera that more fits their needs. I sold my Canon RP so I could buy a Canon R and I am happy with it. I sold my Canon M 50 so I could buy a Canon R 10 and I am happy with that too. I am bad about doing that sort of thing and have always been. I'm sure that I am not the only one who trades around.
