    As far as I know the 1DXIII is still being produced, nearly 4 and a half years after its launch.

    Single lens reflexes have one massive advantage: the sensor is not being used while you’re composing or idle, which means the sensor doesn’t heat up as much. Hot sensors generate noise, which you then have to compensate for (by doing an equal exposure with the shutter closed to remove the hot pixels).

    But mirrorless is faster, cheaper to produce, smaller. It’s inevitable that DSLRs will soon be a relic of the past. But they won’t be for a while: 30% of the enthusiast market in 2022 was still DSLRs.

      The other big advantage is much better battery life.
