![]() The interval between the others was on the order of 5-10 years each time. I'll probably keep the R6 for a long time too. May offload it at some point, but not to recoup any investment. Sold the 40D for peanuts to a budding photographer. Bought the 5D3 and kept all 3 bodies for a while. Before that, I had a 40D and 5D (original). I have gotten my money's worth out of it and more. For instance, I just got an R6, upgrading from a 5D3. I buy them and use them for a long time before replacing. When I want to upgrade them, I try to get the most from my investment because they're a business asset and it's put back into the next cameras.Īs a hobbyist, I treat my cameras like my cars. I use my cameras professionally and keep them in good working order. (I am posting it in Canon forum, because mirrorless are relatively new for Canon users and dumping DSLRs is more common here.) This becomes a matter of discussion, when many are dumping their almost unused DSLRs in favor of the mirrorless. We always pay through the nose to buy new bodies, but only after a few years of use they can’t fetch even 50% of the original price. The camera bodies depreciate very fast and selling them at a low price is not always an easy decision, especially when you buy new.
