The Best DSLR being sold at Amazon

A few days ago, we commented on an article noting that the Canon 1D X Mark III was priced higher than the current Canon R1. Today, I found that YMCinema pointed out that the Nikon D850 is still the best-selling DSLR on Amazon, even though Nikon has released other mirrorless cameras intended to replace the D850

"In 2025, you might expect the spotlight to belong exclusively to mirrorless cameras, with their compact builds, cutting-edge autofocus systems, and rapid innovation cycles. Yet, the DSLR world isn’t just holding on—it’s thriving in select corners. Case in point: the Nikon D850, a camera first released in 2017, is now officially the best-selling DSLR on Amazon."

The first DSLR I bought was a Nikon D5200, around 10 years ago. Remarkably, this camera is still being sold by Nikon for around $589. It's a crop sensor camera that I used for wildlife and some portrait photography, and it was built like a tank.

Mirrorless cameras came along to make our lives easier with a bunch of new features, but DSLRs can still deliver images of similar quality—if you learn how to use them. And perhaps more importantly, they do so at a fraction of the price.
