DSLRs may be outdated, but the older interchangeable lens format typically has stellar prices. In an unusual flip-flop, however, one of Nikon’s full-frame mirrorless cameras currently costs less than its closest DSLR counterpart; the Nikon Z7 II is steeply discounted by $1,000 / £850 right now, making the mirrorless camera the same price as the older Nikon D850 DSLR in the US and only about £100 more in the UK.
A $1,000 / £850 saving is a massive, uncommon deal for a camera body, but the Z7 II has been steeply discounted for a few weeks now. Why? It launched in October 2020, making the mirrorless camera nearly half a decade old. I’m speculating that the steep price drop means photographers could see a Nikon Z7 III soon, but Nikon has yet to confirm a successor.
