[QUOTE="panos_adgr, post: 2943, member: 12"] Generally prices have gone up since the market moved from dslr to mirrorless cameras. Prices have gone up for both crop and full frame models. The most crazy part is the insane price increase in micro 4/3 format. A mid line model or a high line model priced at the same level as a high performance full frame model. By these means there is no logic... especially in the form to price factor. You buy the Olympus omd em 1 latest version for 2000+ euros and at the same money you can buy a full frame Sony Canon and nikon. For 1100 about you can buy an entry level full frame with enormous benefits in image quality such as signal to noise ratio or dynamic range and at the same time you can choose a crop or micro 4/3 camera with great technology but not at the same level. What I want to say is more on the side of where companies are driving the market. It is clear. The trend is excellent marketing wit premium outfit that will sell double or triple the price from past models but with low or insignificant performance margins for the final users. Nikon Sony and Olympus are using the same sensors the last five years.... Only Canon changed sensors and upgraded its camera performance. Yet the first mentioned companies changed their outfits and sell more expensive. I exclude the Z9 which was priced low in order to put nikon in the game again. Strategic choice. Companies aim for premium products with high margin and less sales. Sales are less anyway in camera market. It's a path that all the industry is following. There is less interest in consumer products. Since dslr left the market so did the cheap entry level crop cameras with 300 or 400 euros.... Now you have to pay more! [/QUOTE]
