>>4412713This perceived need to upgrade is the result of a paradigm shift. When those happen the first few years are full of garbage products that don’t really work properly, like the EOS R, a7, z6ii, etc. just breakage prone downgrades that people cope with and then never look back at after upgrading. The industry uses consoomers to fund R&D and eventually they make a product that actually works.
There’s a reason you all think of 70s SLRs and forget the 40s and 50s existed, and its the same reason you think mirrorless cameras always need upgraded, and its the same reason early DSLRs are digishit color science/3d pop memes that underperform fucking film, not serious photographic tools
Luckily we’re out of the shit times. Mostly. Some brands aren’t going to make it through and are going to become memes like leica did when they failed to compete with SLRs - om system, pentax, and panasonic effectively already died. Fuji might be short lived if they don’t improve AF enough and zoomers find a new trend (remember electric guitars and boutique pedals? NEITHER DO I). Maybe nikon will die as well unless the z5ii and z7iii are normal fucking full frame cameras instead of half-APSC. But overall the last couple generations of canon/sony MILCs and maybe one nikon have been better than DSLRs and worth buying to keep instead of to "invest in" (simp for the brand). There are no big jumps left that won’t end up being shit for a few years.
Early adopters always get fucked with buyers remorse
