Don't let the photographer you were yesterday stop you from buying a new camera tomorrow.
Buy it for me Paul and I will be a new man.

Your posts are helpful, often humorous, or ironic, but not condescending. What happened here?The amazing thing about photography is that average, random, unremarkable people can own the best equipment.

Only $4000. Wow, I’ll order two.
Oh boy I just let out a real long fart so I’m over it now. I guess I’ll just keep the camera I’ve got.

While it’s true that sensor evolution makes camera bodies more significant than with film, glass is still the 2nd biggest factor in image quality. The most significant factor is the 6” behind the camera. The third factor is the camera body.Preordered mine. I gave a few great pieces of glass but I am looking forward to building my Z line.
Think of it this way, the light has to pass thru the lens before it hits the sensor. The lens has the greatest effect on the light. The sensor simply records the light that it receives.
So given an older camera body with good glass vs a new camera body with old or cheap glass, which will have better IQ?
That’s easy for me, I will take the better glass over a new body. Because photography is first and foremost about the optics.
But camera manufacturers make profits selling camera bodies. So it’s good when people rush to buy the new bodies because it helps keep the companies in business. And new bodies are fun for the buyer too. It’s all good.
But I’m saving my $$ for good Z glass and Looking forward to the day I can ditch the FTZ converter.

ha ha ha that’s right. My girlfriend likes to tell me she saved money buying 3 of __, fill in the blank. But you didn’t need that babe so you spent more money than not buying them. Ok I don’t say that out loud. I try not to even think that too loud. “That’s great babe” is the only acceptable answer. Be supportive and don’t judge. So purchase 3 of them, or more; save enough money and you’ll be rich!!! [/sarcasm]
Similar thing here I think with us and our gear.

That is the opposite of what I regularly hear at the Pentax Forum, where many members say that companies sell camera bodies as a means of selling lenses.

We know that around 140 million Canon EF lenses were produced between 1987 and 2019. That's 140,000,000 individual lenses, just from one company. Change the camera mount and you can generate new lens sales, but there's going to be more churn (sales) in bodies, especially within the UHH body-centric community that will willingly buy one 24MP body after another after another.

There is synergy between the two. Once a photographer has a set of lenses she is much less likely to switch brands. Two phrases come to mind here.That is the opposite of what I regularly hear at the Pentax Forum, where many members say that companies sell camera bodies as a means of selling lenses.
“You have a relationship with the camera body but you marry the lens.”
And
“Camera bodies come and go but find a lens you love and keep it forever.”
