Ha ha ha, troll bait.
Now is your chance CI Sales, dump that piece of Shaving cream and get a good camera.
Glad to see even the host of SAR trolls! Kind of funny, because I’m trading in my Sony equipment to Adorama to get a D750, and it’s not worth anything. They want our DSLRs because they actually have value on the used market, and getting people into Sony means they can count on them upgrading their camera body every 6 months. Smart of Adorama actually.
Value? The D600 on my local craigslist for 3 months for sale at the sum of $895 is just sitting there rusting. Oh, that’s right; It can’t be rusting with oil all over the inside and we know that plastic doesn’t rust. Hopefully one of these retailers will pity this unfortunate Nikon owner and offer him a couple hundred dollars in trade.
The sensor got to be worth something, right.
Put it on ebay big mouth, and check the facts first…
Maybe you would like to exchange your Sony equipment for some of my Nikon equipment?
Brilliant thoughts! So you buy your gear based on resale “value” it might or might not have after a few years? Wonder how many established photogs go by that line of thought as well. Clearly the reason your Canikon goes in 5 year cycles to upgrade bodies for chumps like you. And when they finally put it out (speaking of your new 7DM2, btw), they toss is a 3 year old POS sensor into it. Fail!
Maybe the creeper would slither off over to the Nikon board now and take his middle-aged balding ponytail with him!
To be fair, today’s mirrorless cameras lose value crazy fast. I sold my two-year old Nikon D800 for 80% of the price I bought it for, and it was not in good shape and had 30K actuations. Sony A7r’s, which are much newer, are going used for about half of what they fetched new.
Part of that is that mirrorless makers invest in short term gains rather than long term customers. Flip-floppers are rampant, going from one system to the next, based on spec.
I think we can agree that dSLRs are in a rut, and have been for a long time, but they retain resale value for good reasons. And that counts for a lot several years down the line.
I think it’s that same effect of brand recognition, which also prevents mirrorless from taking off.
There’s also the (correct) assumption that mirrorless makers just release next cameras when they have the technology. It’s a computer race, and this discourages customers to hold onto gear. The devaluation of mirrorless cameras is unprecedented.
The thing about dSLRs is, that because they still look through glass, as long as that prism is of high quality, an update to the camera won’t make the view on the world any better or any worse. Mirrorless, on the other hand, is completely reliant on the speed of the processor. If it is slow, the LCD and EVF will be slow. If the EVF is poor, so will the outlook on the world through it be poor.
If and when mirrorless companies can get past the technology hump, they may be able to sell cameras that hold value. Maybe. But they can’t do what they’re doing, which is devaluing their brand.
Agreed to an extent. But the computer race does have its advantages, especially in the current context.
I think Sony is devaluing the bodies entirely on purpose, while hiking up the lenses. It’s arguably a better strategy to attract users than the other way around, which has been the way Canikon do things; and it surely puts some pressure. We’ll see how it ends though.
It is an interesting race, but it’s the sort that requires the big two not competing. If/when they do compete, Sony (and other makers) have set themselves up to lose.
When your economy is based completely on price/performance (or the illusion of it), and or spec, you are waiting for your product to be up-ended.
I don’t think we are out of the prototype stages yet. Everyone, even Leica, are making the same mirrorless camera, and trying to steal market from someone else. There isn’t enough reason to buy into any single brand except for the long-lived M.
Here I agree completely. Canikon still do have a lot of freedom to wait things out. At some point, it will become too late for them, but I doubt we are there yet and I seriously doubt they’ll miss it. But, stranger things have happened.
Interesting, we have an all-round expert here: economics strategies, electronics, and general wisdom. Now, back to your basement!
You found a sucker, happens all the time. Go to KEH web site and find out what’s it worth to them. You will be shocked.
I’m not sure you are correct. KEH buys from end users at low prices to flip at higher prices. Direct sales are better for the seller (more money), and are less expensive for the buyer.
eBay D800 and you will see. Right before I sold mine, I saw private auctions at yahoo auction Japan go for 90% of the new sales price. Again, if I took my D800 to a shop, they’d sell it for the same price, but offer me 20% less in order to make a profit.
“…mirrorless makers invest in short term gains rather than long term customers.”
EXACTLY. Thank you for pointing that out.
Mirrorless hasn’t been a long term thing. Should manufacturers not sell mirrorless unless they travel time to go back and put mirrorless 50 years ago? Seriously
Begin to practice and learn how to dismantling your Nikon, You’ll need it for their “sticky” rubber. 🙂
He’s coming unhinged, calling Sony board members Sony trolls now. Where will this all end!
http://youtu.be/N522W_t6t1c
Doesn’t the d750 have a Sony sensor? Why beat around the bush?
It does, and it’s a great sensor. You know what of like to see? Sony and nikon joining forces to crush Canon et al. Sony’s sensors in nikon’s bodies with their r&d working together? It’d be fantastic!
Geno does not know the diff between a camera and a sensor. He is a mediocre hobbyist with a big piehole.
Umm Canon is ahead in the lens selection… why do you think they’re still in the lead even after all these years of supposedly getting battered by Nikon and Sony? 😉 E.g. Nikon’s PCE lenses are dogs next to Canon’s. Canon’s long primes are also cutting edge. Sony is cutting edge with sensors. If Sony and Canon join forces, Nikon will be closed the next day… it’s happening now… Canons lenses perform flawlessly with IS, auto aperture and reasonable AF on Sony mirrorless. Nikon is losing.
Well, Dxo would like to say something about that.
http://www.dxomark.com/Lenses/Ratings
If you filter by brand to Canon and Nikon you can get a list of lenses by testing score. Hint: Canon’s first lens is on page 2.
Lol a lot makes sense… you read dxomark for lens tests. Dxomark is Ken Rockwell in numbers.
Here’s a hint… learn the subject first. That’ll give you a clue as to what can be quoted and what you can’t.
DxOMark compared with Ken Rockwell? Ken Rockwell is a blogger with strong opinions. DxO is an international company with clients such as: NASA, Sigma, Fujifilm, Nikon; is partners with Dpreview; and receives support from, among others, the European Union. I’ll stick with DxO.
http://www.dxo.com/intl/image-quality-evaluation/customers
NASA? The difference is Nasa doesn’t go around reading their megapixel ratings. NASA know how to do their own tests.
Let me have some fun CL 😉
It’s all good fun! No worries.
Well, if you want to be seen as credible, perhaps you should be a little more objective. You should keep this type of comment for your personal account, not the admin account.
What is credible? Some know-it-all who swallowed a dictionary? Fred Flintstone?
And reading the comments, it seems that the trolling attracts counter-trolling. So keeping those comments elsewhere could contribute to your site being more enjoyable because as of now, it’s just a shitfest.
It’s the most active camera rumor site going, and if people could chill with the personal comments and keep it to bantering about gear, it’d be cool!
I wish i could trade in my RX1R for the new A7II !
hahahahahahahahahaha
good one!
wow! my 1st blood comment was removed in previous thread. now the admin even more harsh with this post. what happened to him… May God blessing you!
Very funny indeed))) sony is ok for amateurs only, there’s no complete system in either a or e mount as of yet. There’s no particular cost savings – you’d have to shell out just as much as pro canon or Nikon to do serious work with sony. Only you will have to upgrade every time they finally releas an update – where’s the full frame speed monster or 5dmk3 from Sony or any sensible flash system that’s not over heating after a few pops? That’s right. Toys they are – expensive ones! I’m no longer a fan, just a curious spectator)
No silly, don’t kid yourself, your’e not a spectator. Just another troll.
I will humor you, though: care to elaborate on what is it that you can’t handle for “serious” work using Sony gear?
So why a lot of medium format photographers choose sony for “smaller system” instead canikon?
Any camera can be pro camera (if that camera brings money).
A77 Mark II is speed and focus monster.
Where did you hear that about medium format shooters?
It depends on what you’re doing. I use a mix of medium format (5-10% of the time) and the rest Sony A7r. I’m a still life photographer. I’m on bellows the entire time. The A7r, while hampered by that awful shutter, is the best 35mm flanged camera for my work.
I don’t like it. It is loud, obnoxious, has horrible battery life, and takes forever to start up, and isn’t as reliable as a Nikon. But doing the same work with a Nikon takes 3-4x the amount of time.
Most photographers, even very talented ones, are amateurs. Most don’t want to carry a big honking phallus of a DSLR any more.
What if dSLR makers redesigned dSLRs to be the same size as film SLR cameras? Essentially, they’d be the same size as the A7II (with thickness for the digital stuff), and be just as light. If that happened, what would the customer do? I think mirrorless makers are running away with great mindshare because dSLR manufacturers have screwed their pooch over and over again.
When/if they make cameras that aren’t designed only for large/heavy lenses, and made for the old snapshot style of photography for which FM/FE cameras were perfect, as are today’s mirrorless cameras, I expect to see reaction from erstwhile fans of Sony FE and Fujifilm, etc.
That may never happen.
I dig the changes Sony made to the A7II, and look forward to further improvements on the range. But my eye isn’t long-term on what Sony are doing, though day by day that may change.
The video camera/sensor makers will be the new rulers of the camera market. Before digital, everyone made a black box that held film. Now the key is to be able to make the “film”. My money for the future is on Sony, Panasonic, Samsung, and Canon. In that order.
Certainly it will be interesting to see what happens. So far, a step back reveals that there is nothing truly noteworthy about any single company’s mirrorless brand. It’s all tech, and little else. While tech is a great foundation, it isn’t something that attracts users. It attracts gear heads.
You don’t think Fuji is unique? I do. If I didn’t want video in addition to stills, I’d go Fuji. They are making some great stuff.
truly noteworthy? lol.
its like what jealous nokia will talk about apple. and then nokia bankrupted. how about you tell me what did nikon and canon made that was truly remarkable? heck, olympus did better.
What is your problem with DSLRs? Why using words like you do? Don’t understand it. You have choices. Choose what suits you. I still love DSLRs and will use my D810 over the next years to come. Great “tool”, works, fast, great battery life, great lenses and flashes. Do you really think we use it because we want to show our professionality by bigger is better?
5DM3 a full frame monster? Hardly; when it’s handily outperformed by a $600 A6000. Stop living in the past, your world is burning and you look on playing a violin. Canon and Nikon are slipping, Sony is the new sheriff in town, get use to it.
Very funny indeed. A bunch of nonsense built on problematic definitions. I hope you are doing it on purpose.
I actually wanted to like these products, but they are just too bad, so I totally agree with you. I think this is a problem of photographers vs keyboard “experts” and the usual paid shills.
The deal is not good towards the A7s unfortunately
Yes it is. Go to the B&H website.
Sure it is…
Check B&H. Not only do you get 15% off, but you get a free $200 Rode microphone and the opportunity to buy the Sony battery grip for $100. Sounds like a clever scheme to clear old inventory before the new models come in — all without having to drop the price yet as they have on the A7. It’s just a question of when….
I sent in a Nikon N5005 and got a new A7 for $1040. The lenses I use are FF manual focus lenses, so I’ll be ready to go when it gets here. 😀
This is Sony’s way of using B&H to clear out a bunch of inventory because replacements are coming (already here for the A7). B&H doesn’t really need your junk, it’s just a fig leaf to hide behind while they offer big discounts probably on Sony’s behalf. Tempted to pick up the A7s and a bunch of lenses. Then again, the A7 at about $1K is a screaming deal. But also tempted to wait for the A7sII, which you know is coming.
I’m sold on the A7r follow up as long as the shutter doesn’t cause my feet to quake. Getting rid of stock now is a great thing. Make way for the new.
Do they take A mount stuff?
He, he, just kidding 🙂
Always same argument between fanboys 😉
However can we compare Camera world to Smartphone one :
In first place, there’s Canon the leader of Camera industry like Apple in Mobile industry
Then comes Nikon, the second giant of camera industry like Samsung
In 3rd place, we can say Sony is the Google clone of Camera industry( ex: they are selling their sensor to competitors)
Then the rest Olympus, Panasonic, Fuji, Pentax and so on like there’s LG, HTC, Motorla, Nokia and so on 😉
Maybe i can add Samsung can be compared to Microsoft in mobile industry, it’s a new arrival with expensive priced gears….and not always as great performance for the price
I’m not sure it’s fair. Samsung got where they were by copying Apple so plainly that their first Galaxy devices looked exactly like iPhones. iPhones were not allowed to be sold in Korea at the time and suddenly there were what I thought was iPhones all over. And of course, Samsung started out importing sugar into Korea, then started a grocery chain, and many years later began with electronics, apartments, construction, life insurance, cars, etc.
Very different story from Apple/Samsung is the Canon/Nikon story.
Nikon didn’t copy Canon. They copied Zeiss. Canon copied Leica. Then economies of scale took over as sanction-less Japan had no walls while Germany had heaps of walls to overcome.
I get why you’d want to try to make the analogy, but it only works barely.
Samsung copied Apple? Be careful of what you say there are fan boys. please do research. Seach Apple copied Braun, but apple defended as their idol
Braun don’t make smartphones or computers. They make toasters, shavers, etc.. Apple certainly were inspired by certain Braun designs. Samsung designed their first Galaxy to look, from a distance to look just like an Apple iPhone 3G.
I’m not worried about fanboys. I lived in South Korea and had the choice of Samsung everything, or nothing. That company got to where they are today by cheating by an unprecedented amount thanks to government instability.
edit: changed ‘speakers’ to computers. I’m an audiophile so words like headphones and speakers just leak out of me.
If u need to discuss about your Beloved iPhone, go to EOSHD.COM or phonearena.com. Toyota designed a car to look like Ford. LOL
Good lord ohm image, you are something out of this world. I congrat you! Buy yourself some Samsung f7000 and LG Prada, or maybe those sony clie pda’s.
Stop joking like that. Apple did copy from LG (LG Prada) and there is particularly nothing wrong with that, because they added some extra features that improves the first iPhone. Samsung did the same too releasing their Samsung Galaxy S. They copied the iPhone 3G and added some features plus Google updated android. With the release of S3 Samsung becomes the pioneer of 4.8 inch or larger smartphones. Apple, 2 years later copied that, but they didn’t innovate that we’ll with the iPhone 6. There is, nothing wrong at that. There is too, nothing wrong with Canon and nikon copying Leica and Carl Zeiss as both Canon and nikon innovate. The only thing wrong here is people like you who don’t have a clue how electronic industry works. And no, in south Korea you can get LG smartphones too. They’re maybe pushing local products to be sold there. It’s normal for the government to push local products to be sold in their own country.
Gone are the days when a classic camera stood the test of time for a decade or more. I’m thinking of the Rolleiflex or my favorite camera of all time, the Nikon FM/FM2. These were objects that were crafted to last. I suppose the Fuji X100 series could be considered in this vein. I’m so excited by the A7 series, but these cameras will be iterated like crazy.
Unfortunately the rapid development of sensor technology makes good cameras obsolete too fast. But there are some that go for a good long time, at least in digital years. The d700 has a strong army of shooters, and an insane resale value.
I’d say that this rapid obsolescence is also in big part dependant on the user.
You are probably right. Funny, I’m selling my D700 to enter the Sony system. I rented the A7s and fell in love. Mostly over the small size and the manual focus enhancements. Plus the movies, of course.
Good to rent to try out. Wish I had learned that lesson; I could have bought some great nikon lenses with what I spent on Sony products. How much are you getting for your d700? I see them going for over a thousand still.
Your “leader” definition is a bit vague. Canon’s is based on market share, but Apple isn’t a market share leader. The only similarity between Nikon and Samsung is that they are starting to see some trouble nowadays. Google also doesn’t sell Android and certainly not to Apple, yet Canon buys some sensors from Sony. Olympus, Fuji, Panasonic and Pentax are too small to be compared to Nokia, that comparison would be reserved for the future of Canon or Nikon in case they don’t wake up on time.
I see Sony and Apple having a lot of similarities.
Apple in mobile industry? Lol stick to your economics degree and leave tech out of your commentary
OK mobile industry = smartphone + tablet market….
Then u still have Canon and Apple on top both market… Then Nikon and Samsung to challenge the first duo with Google and Sony just behind…..
You’re wrong. First, Apple is not the market leader. Second, Google never manufacture smartphones themselves. Third, camera are way more specific than smartphones, aimed at a narrower group if people. No one should ever compare both industries to each other.
Wonderful.
Canon and Nikon are useless, huh? Gotta love the hyperbole coming from the Sony fanboyz. Unfortunately for them, the reality is a little different (posted by Thom Hogan today) >>
“So mirrorless is in this economic doldrums zone. No one is buying the low end of mirrorless. Those that buy the high end of mirrorless are paying DSLR-like prices when all is said and done. And so we get sales that are stalled. Unfortunately, those sales are stalled at a level lower than the end of the film SLR era in the late 90’s, and with as many players grappling for market share.
It’s not a ‘win’ for Sony to be #1 in mirrorless and have the DSLR market just collapse so that mirrorless is all that’s left. It’s definitely not good for the mirrorless players if Canon and Nikon figure out a way to continue their DSLR dominance as they transition to new mirrorless systems.
Back when I started this site three years ago, I thought that mirrorless would grow faster than it has. In one way it has: there are more products and more players stuffed into the mirrorless market than I thought it could support, even with strong growth. But right now the growth isn’t really there. Mirrorless makers that are growing are stealing share from someone else.”
http://www.sansmirror.com/newsviews/the-economics-problem.html
The reality of Thom Hogan, you mean. There are many ways to read the numbers and what he’s showing is just one of them.
This is just what it is: one man’s perspective.
For those who are easily swayed, this is just their prayer:
“O wise and ever knowing Thom Hogan, enlighten us more.”.
Thom is wrong, because he did not take in the factor of the innovative mirrorless from Sony. If the mirrorless happened just like the conventional release in the past as is DSLR with very little incremental upgrade, then this will be true.
But this has not be the plan of Sony doing mirrorless. look at the hybrid AF A6k, size of A6k, ISO in A7s, 5IBIS in A7II, great DR, when all pack together, then you know what actually pro photovideographers were looking for. and one thing for sure, the cheapest FF mirrorless almost or even cheaper than the APSC canikon (King of APSC 7DMKII), mirrorless have pressure canikon DSLR pricing so well make a point in new buyer consideration list.
Also, Amount is not cease fire. Sony still and will incorporate all niche stuff for their next coming Amount FF. the question: do you really have the money to buy it? 😀 Sony doing great for both DSLR (for those want bulky-heavy-junk) and mirrorless (for those want lighter, great IQ and performances, great fro money).
Take it with a grain of salt. I mean, look at Thom’s websites. They are poorly laid out and rarely updated. He’s a cantankerous guy, bent on lecturing Nikon in particular. He thinks he knows better and everyone else is an idiot. His writing is atrocious — how many times does he use “a bit” and “at the moment” in his posts. Mirrorless is the true final act in the digital revolution. DSLRs are basically the cameras of the 1990s with sensors. It’s just starting to get good now. The true promise of size and technology. At least Sony is working with Zeiss for glass.
Whether or not it is nicely laid out or not is irrelevant. He has posts regularly and recommends many Sony products, so is certainly not as biased as many think. Size is important for some, but for many people I know there is a minimum size, below which handling a camera all day becomes cumbersome (buttoms too small or recessed, too few buttons, grip too small to balance larger lenses…). Nice for leisure but often not for work. Of course there are others disagreeing, It’s their right to do so. Sometimes I have the impression mirrorless envy drifts into religious waters (I use both by the way, Nikon and Sony (a7ii)).
Yeah pick whatever unsubstantiated personal opinion that satisfies you the most and quote it like there’s no other truth.
He has some interesting points and the data shows that mirrorless didn’t level up, as expected by many, here. If he wrote in line of your opinion, you would find it great. Try to enlighten us with your wisdom. He looked at the data and thought about it. You may or may not agree with his points, but calling it unsubstantiated means you understand the material. So please share your analysis with us.
He’s talking about his feelings. All of these people talk about their feelings and you lot think it’s actually something that amounts to anything outside of the reviewers world. It’s fiction…
No i don’t care for anyone’s opinion… I’m a scientist… i care for methodology and facts.
Mardock. Can’t I have a bit of fun? Noone understunding humor here?
This isn’t that amazing of a deal considering you can get the A7 body for $1299 w/ a leather case and 64GB SD card on the Sony Store right now.
We pro don’t know best, the consumers know what they want, they want Canon 1080p video look, period. They can’t tell the difference, we can, but it looks good for them. I sold my GH4 for The 70D because it “works” and it pleases wedding clients. That’s all it matters. Sometimes we need to stop dreaming that the GH4 or the A7S will make us the next big Hollywood girl/guy. What works what makes money just use it. We are the biggest consumers and we don’t realize it!
So, can they tell the difference or not?
No. They want the saturated, infocus, clear, in your face moment.
And gh4 cannot deliver that? Not surprised.
Pros know only about taking pictures for people who haven’t studied photography or any form of art… most of the time at least.
Does it mean a pro can make something not artistic without ppl notice it;)
Then there must be art in garbage too 🙂
This is why I like it here… the admin is also a troll.
Hahaha! I love it when people, has no sense of humor 😉
Very sensitive these CaNikon trolls.
Lol useless… These FEs has really few good lenses and gets bested in AF against a ‘lowly’ a6000.
name me any camera and i will ‘bested’ it with another one.
d710? bested by A6000 in WEIGHT.
5dmark3?? bested by a6000 in ……………WEIGHT and PRICE!
do you want more?
d7100? BESTED by A6000 in total size.
time to grow up? oh wait, who am i kidding.
Yes, I know Mr. Smart guy. Comprehend properly. My point is to say that there are many advantages getting nikon or canon systems opposed to FEs which means that saying canon or nikon gears as useless are just completely fanboy statement.
Can I trade this thing in as well?
I use Canon for work, and Sony for hobby.
Because Canon has such great resale value.
The seller is looking to buy the A7II.
You do know how ebay works right? By the way, have you ever owned a camera?
I am not selling anything. I use ir, till it brokes.
