I have exactly the same thought

nikon d850 lagi older still at the top.

More expensive S1 cant even beat one year old A7III if add also expensive lens good luck getting market share from crowded mirrorless FF market

CIPA somemore saying the ILC market is shrinking rapidly somemore liao

if everyone doesn't secure their own niche they will slowly mampus liao

dun forget to mention it is also more bigger.

I think entry level market are shrinking, last time auntie/uncle buying cheap DSLR for travel photo, now all use iPhone/Samsung/Huawei, HDR saturated photo can instantly spam in FB
My mum's entry level Nikon DSLR sitting deep in my closet, lazy to post WTS post

hahaha yealor

but how many pros and pro-wannabes can afford to buy new systems / cameras / lenses every time they release a new one?

my G9 i think gonna last me for a very long time liao, especially when the 10-25mm drops.

The latest Huawei P mate phones are just in a league of their own. I recently came across a milkyway photo posted by a fellow FB acquaintance shot on a Huawei P20 and look really decent. Amazing how phone camera have came along pretty well. With the latest 3-lenses-in-1 P30 there's no limit to what they can do In time to come I wll be really lazy to lug along a camera but instead a phone camera with a stabilised gimbal is more than sufficient to get great travel photos.

Foe us enthusiasts its an expensive hobby

I'm definitely gonna hold my current Olympus lineup for at least 2 years. Wait this mirrorless FF system war settle down, then choose winner or maybe Olympus/m43 still go space to grow or improve ?

Best part ? Smartphone can immediately share over-processed-HDR photo to FB/IG for people to like and comment

I got many travel/trip photos that I have not even processed or look at yet, just so lazy after reached home, the excited moment long gone.

same…

Normally on the way back to hotel I ll send some photos to my phone then share them
But the transfer is painfully slow.

as long panasonic still keep their old contrast detect af system, they are not going anywhere further.

Can always transfer through WiFi and send it in hotel. I am the opposite, with my camera, I take more pictures because it allows me more ways to compose my shot due to variable focal length and aperture. Speed is also an issue when taking pictures with phone, not to mention long exposure shots.

For me the battery is a concern too.
Camera I bring 5 batteries during travel.
If use phone a bit stress if power bank failed.

can always bring 3-4 power banks lol

Yup, agree. When am on the move, quite troublesome to charge phone. For batteries, can just swap in and out.

Bring 5x 20,000 powerbanks

But nowdays flight don't allow more than 10,000 liao.

I will bring my Windows tablet if travel to place I know will get good shots, so I can select one or two good shots, processed and upload at night.

I dont take scenery photo with phone, unless unexpected ( didnt bring camera ).
Just that sometimes bring camera out on trip, didnt have any impressive shots that I'm itching to share, so it'll get dusted in my hdd
