It\u2019s not just inflation, but due to the contracting camera market, camera companies are maker fewer cameras, meaning that in order to make profit they need to increase prices.<\/em><\/p>\n<p>You\u2019ll also notice that whilst Canon are relatively tight lipped on what is and isn\u2019t discontinued, you\u2019ll find reports online about Canon\u2019s <a href=\"https:\/\/other.kelsey.host\/amateurphotographer\/latest\/photo-news\/30-canon-dslr-lenses-discontinued-171553\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener\">EF range of DSLR lenses being discontinued<\/a>, and increasingly difficult to purchase brand new.

Yes of course, you can use DSLR lenses with adapters, but then where is the advantage to be found in compact mirrorless lenses?<\/p>\n<h3>Everyone is equal, but some are more equal than others<\/h3>\n<p>For some mirrorless systems, they are entirely usable, and can be seen as a complete, well-rounded, well-developed system (Micro Four Thirds I\u2019m looking at you, particularly in terms of both camera and lens choices), but other systems are still <strong>extremely limited<\/strong> in providing both a good camera range AND a good lens range.<\/p>\n\t\t<div id=&quot;attachment_172237&quot;  class=\"c-caption aligncenter\" style=\"max-width: 1020px\">\n\t\t\t<img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" class=\"172237\" src=\"https:\/\/other.kelsey.host\/amateurphotographer\/wp-content\/uploads\/2022\/08\/group-shot-micro-four-thirds-lenses-and-cameras-olympus-panasonic-1000px-JW-DSC09847.jpg\" alt=\"Micro Four Thirds cameras and lenses: Multiple camera body styles and brands are available\" width=\"1000\" height=\"667\" \/>\t\t\t<p class=\"c-caption__text\">Micro Four Thirds cameras and lenses: Multiple camera body styles and brands are available.
