Some interesting things that I have found about the Photography Industry
According to Sony, "smart phone cameras will be better then DSLR by 2024." Within two years the image quality of a smartphone will exceed that of a single-lens reflex camera…
“We expect that still images will exceed the image quality of single-lens reflex cameras within the next few years,” said Terushi Shimizu, Sony Semiconductor Solutions CEO, via SonyAddict
Sony has been at the forefront of both smartphone and camera technology, but even for Sony this is an out their statement. Assuming they are right, then what is the future of DSLR and Mirrorless Camera?
Below is an article I found by Photo Rumors - the site that predicts Photography news, before it happens!

Is Cannon discontinuing DSLR production? Really this is a question that we should be asking of every major camera manufacturer. Mirrorless Cameras have exploded into the photography marketplace in recent years and have improved by leaps and bounds. It is interesting to note that only Pentax released a DSLR in 2021, and Cannon recently cut their DSLR prime lens selection from twenty one to nine.
Below is an article by Dave Haynie talking about Cannon's switch to mirrorless cameras.

Nikon will be discontinuing the very popular entry level DSLR cameras D3500 and D5600. This is not a huge surprise as Nikon is concentrating their efforts on mid to high-end-level mirrorless cameras and lenses. The last DSLR Nikon release was the Nikon D6 in 2020.

Until recently, most experts thought the DSLR was losing its' market share to the Mirrorless Camera, however lately DSLR sales have gone up 132% while Mirrorless sales have dropped 57 percent. This could be attributed to a shortage of Mirrorless Cameras due to delays in production, or that beginners DSLR's are cheaper than the Mirrorless counterpart,
James Artaius sheds some light on this issue in the below article.
One of the most important topics worldwide during the pandemic has been mental health, and this issues has risen dramatically due to lockdowns, isolation, and job loss. In the USA 59% of the population is affected by some sort of mental health issue. Over 970 million people worldwide have a mental health or substance abuse disorder. These numbers may increase due to the pandemic and the new normal.
For myself, I have found that photography is an excellent outlet for me mental health struggles. It is fun, creative, and keeps my mind of more serious issues that may trigger my depression an/or sadness.
Working on a photography project, weather it is planning the shoot, or actually doing the shoot centers me eliminating any negative thoughts and focusing on the job at hand.

During the last two years I have been doing a lot of Product Photography, something I did not do much of in the past. It is always great to learn a new photography skill, or sharpen a skill that has not been used much.
