DSLRs are cheaper than ever

With the rising popularity of mirrorless cameras, DSLR prices have dropped significantly, even for models that were once considered professional-grade. As mirrorless systems continue to evolve and dominate the market with their advanced features—such as faster autofocus, silent shooting, and lighter designs—many photographers are transitioning away from DSLRs. This shift has led to a surplus of high-quality DSLR bodies and lenses available at more affordable prices. For budget-conscious photographers, this presents an excellent opportunity to acquire gear that was once out of reach, offering exceptional image quality and reliability at a fraction of its original cost. Even though mirrorless cameras are the new industry standard, DSLRs remain highly capable tools, especially for those who prefer their robust build, optical viewfinders, and battery life.
