I also saw that the Canon 60d is 47% off. This brings it down to just $479 from the original $899. I know it’s not the latest and greatest camera, but that is a good deal to reference for someone getting into photography or even upgrading from a T model Canon.
I can’t help but feel like all four of these companies (each of which enjoyed massive success among working photographers for decades) need to have massive sales right now. Why? I think these companies are trying to counter a growing perception among working photographers that the best innovations in camera technology are happening with other (newer) companies.
Five years ago (2010) EVERY working photographer I personally knew was using Canon, Nikon, Hasselblad (in the studio) or Leica (mainly for nostalgia or the way specific Leica lenses render the frame). Now I’d say that roughly 50% of the working photographers I socialize with are using Olympus/Panasonic m4/3 gear, Sony gear, or Fuji’s X-mount cameras.
I’m not saying that Nikon, Canon, Hasselblad and Leica are dying … no way. However, I’m sure these four stalwarts of the camera industry are aware that a notable percentage of photographers are paying attention to other companies.
Those are sweet deals for the Nikons though. The D610 includes the vertical grip, that’s pretty sweet.
Wow, only $30,000 for that Hasselblad…might just pull the trigger after I sell my kidney.
thanks for the heads up
