A selection of cameras, in no particular order.

That would have been top of the line when you bought it but is "only" 10.2mp. My first DSLR was a Canon 350D in about 2005 and I think was 8mp. My current 90D is 32mp which was a huge step up form the 18mp 700D that I also still use. Back in the day the camera was just a vehicle for the lens and film and you could go a long way with old cameras and good lenses. Today the size and quality of the sensor is as important as the lens and older digital cameras become outdated very quickly as technology moves forward. The quality of the camera doesn't go backwards, but the advances in new technology mean that active digital photographers always want more and there's little demand for old cameras. Even the DSLR has now been pretty much superseded, although I plan to continue with mine for a long time yet.

I had a Canon 80D which I sold as things were getting a bit heavy. Gave some of my gear to son for his 700D and bought a Canon G1X mkiii which had the same 24MP sensor that the 80D had.  Love the little G1X MKiii. I had the first G1X in 2012 and loved that dearly. Great lens

Only lasted 4 months and missed the DSLR so much, I bought a 90D Love it to bits but unfortunately I am physically back to not the fittest and think I should sell it. Bugger!!! Camera gear has cost me a bit over the years but, what the heck. I reckoned that it's only the kids inheritance I am spending so don't regret buying it, if only for a couple+ years use. Hopefully when I get my new hip I may get out a bit more.
