Stumbling blocks

With Nikon and Canon releasing full-frame mirrorless cameras we now have smaller lighter cameras with more sophisticated autofocus and better image quality. With all that, you would say it was the beginning of the end for DSLR cameras – but a couple of things may hinder this. One is the starting price being beyond most people's budget, but the main stumbling block will be people's mindset. Some will always baulk at new technology no matter how good it is – we are, after all, creatures of habit.

Some people may baulk at new technology and others may struggle with the cost, nevertheless demand for the new Nikon models has already outstripped planned supply and they haven't even gone on sale
