A place to politely discuss the tools, technique and culture of photography.
This is not a good place to simply share cool photos/videos or promote your own work and projects, but rather a place to discuss photography as an art and post things that would be of interest to other photographers.

I don't know what to tell you, it's always about the lens, and rarely the body (unless you need yee many pixels for specific format, or you need the DR for astrophotography etc.). D700 and 5D Mk.II are still amazing clickers and you can get them for dirt cheap. D800 has been, and continues to be an astonishing body, and you can now pick it up for about the same price as a new intermediate APS-C body.
As all the major brands exit the DSLR market, all of their prices are coming down, so yeah, people who're willing to compromise on IQ and portability for lens cost will look for deals with DSLR bodies and the respective lenses. Heck, I'd rather use full-metal chassis DSLRs and respective lenses for paid gigs just for that psychological reassurance that it'll continue to function even if I accidentally drop or bump it while on the job.
