[QUOTE="BF Hammer, post: 831665, member: 48483"] I'm not pleased by this, but I have been preparing for it. The Nikon Rumors site announced that the D6 was removed from the Nikon Japan site. I had out of some morbid curiosity checked the Nikon USA site in the past month, and there was only 4 active DSLR models listed, the rest are all in an archive section. D6, D850, D780, and D7500. So expect the D6 to be archived soon, and really I think if I check that in 1 year's time they all will be dropped to the archived cameras category. I even checked the Canon USA site, they are down to 2 DSLR bodies (with multiple kit options) 5D mark IV and Rebel T7. That's it. My local camera shop is only carrying Canon mirrorless currently and 3 Nikon DSLR models, not all stocked. So the end of an era is imminent as I see it. Of course we will still be buying and selling F-mount gear on the used market for years to come. But we will be leaving it to Pentax to advance the DSLR design in the future. [/QUOTE]
