[QUOTE="BF Hammer, post: 784070, member: 48483"] Yeah it's difficult to see the change happening. Smartphones have taken most entry-level consumers out of the market for dedicated cameras of any kind. There is less need for that kind of product all-around. Sony comes in with a new way, and really disrupted the forecasts of the future for Canon and Nikon. The most vocal consumers are saying they want more ability to shoot video, so the mirrorless systems have to come to the forefront as that overcomes the biggest problem with shooting video on a DSLR. Those of us who don't care a bit about video, well we are going to have to go along with the ride or else buy up all the old gear. F-mount lenses will be abundant on the used market for a long time. Now think of the older people who gleefully switched to micro-four-thirds in order to lighten their gear load 15 years ago, and now all the new gear is going back to full-frame sensors. I do see advantage with shooting astrophotography with mirrorless, so that has become one of the reasons I have a Z5 now. But prior to this year I did not want to commit to Nikon Z as I was seeing good stuff from Canon R-mount. But Nikon is really making a splash with the Z9 and I see that bringing some people back to the fold from Sony. I expect that to be as slow of a process as having the users leave in the first place. Things are looking up a bit. [/QUOTE]
