Nikon d3500
(Image credit: Samsung)īeginner DSLRs like the Nikon D3500 and D5600 have been hit particularly hard, because they also have to contend with ludicrously capable smartphone cameras. The new Samsung Galaxy S21 Ultra uses a double-folded periscope lens to achieve the equivalent of 10x optical zoom. This approach still brings benefits that some photographers prefer.īut the DSLR's bulky and increasingly dated tech has seen the world's focus shift to all-digital mirrorless cameras (which, as their name suggests, don't have that mirror-based viewfinder). The DSLR (Digital Single Lens Reflex) camera uses an older technology that sees light from its lens hit a mirror, which then bounces it up into an optical viewfinder. But the overall trend for interchangeable lens camera sales has been a downward slope since the peak of 2012 – and DSLRs have been caught in a pincer movement between powerful smartphone cameras and the rise of mirrorless cameras.

Of course, a large part of that is down to the impact of the global pandemic and there have been some signs of recovery.

According to figures from CIPA (the trade association for Japan's photo industry), DSLRs had a year-on-year sales drop of 54% in September 2020.

So why is this happening? There's no doubt that DSLR sales have been dropping sharper than other types of dedicated camera, and that's saying something. Or check out the best beginner cameras in the world.These are the best DSLRs you can buy right now.Reading between the lines, that talk of "optimal timing for discontinuation" suggests that the axe will fall on the Nikon D3500 and D5600, and perhaps Nikon's beginner DSLR lineup, sooner rather than later. If any successors are in the pipeline, they'll likely be mirrorless models like the rumored Nikon Z30.Īnd the other interesting part for worldwide DSLR fans is that Nikon is only considering selling those cameras "for the time being". In other words, it's highly unlikely that we'll see replacement beginner DSLRs arrive to fill the gap left by the Nikon D3500 and Nikon D5600.

The first is that the decision to archive both cameras in Japan is based on "market trends". For areas other than Japan, we will consider the optimal timing for discontinuation based on the needs of the market and customers."
