~$4,000 for a camera without global shutter? Wow.

What was it about the camera / footage that you didn't like?
Manual focus.
Then there's the build quality, the rolling shutter, the unfixable red dots/focus pixels or stripes using certain settings. I wouldn't say those are deal-breakers compared to its secondhand price.
There's also the fact that it's 2021. It is not a discreet camera.

I wasn't pleased with the camera so I got rid of it.

Contrary to Ebay's main platform, Marktplaats is safe for sellers; not so much for buyers. Insured shipping through PostNL usually takes one working day. Online payement in less than a minute. Costly products are usually physically inspected by the buyers first. If you happen to know someone in the Netherlands than this could be an alternative.
Personally, I've been screwed twice as a buyer. Last month I made a bargain deal over a $1200 product, only to receive a middle of the night message − a couple of hours before I was about to pick it up − saying: "I've changed my mind and and want to sell my product for way more. Sorry for the hassle!"

Yeah. The limitations that Sony deliberately put in their imaging devices really places limitations on the wider industry, all the people that use them, and all the images that come from those imaging devices.
Unfortunately, the low and mid-tier camera market is stuck in the mud.
Quality wise, Sony is the McDonald's of the camera industry.

I suspect that the t̶w̶o̶ three primary reasons the image sensor market is dominated by Sony is because of: (1) shady business deals between Japanese tech companies and (2) a lack of competition from outsiders.
(3) Dedication and hard work.

It's been said many times on this forum, but I do wish manufacturers would focus less on 8k and more on getting colour right, after all Arri has been showing how to do it right for a decade now!

I'm pretty sure Sony is able to mass-produce a cheap CCD-based consumer camera that can record 16-bit RAW internally, but it would screw their entire camera business.

Why the bump in used camera prices? Is it because brand offerings of enthusiast cams in the mid/low tier range have restricted a little over the past few years? More YT kids trying to buy in on the used market?
Too many people having too much time on their hands to look for the best and cheapest camera.

The Sony IMX800 is rumoured to be a 1-inch sensor designed for phones. It is expected to make its debute soon.
What does the future hold for dedicated consumer cameras if this rumour is true?

Nikon’s hands are in the parts bin again! Let’s see what they come up with this time. Pick a sensor (from Sony). Pick an image processor (from Sony). Put it together in Thailand. Stamp a Nikon logo on the front and call it done. As with the Nikon Z6 and Sony A7 III so it follows the Z9 looks to be a Sony A1 with a Nikon badge.
Well said.

Do you think you have ever had a new idea or captured an existing idea in a truly new way?
What about yourself?

If we are strictly speaking about image capturing, then probably not..

Redundancy

With the abundance of online videos, is there anybody on here that ever feels like he/she is about to capture something redundant? There's so much stuff out there already...

A 3 inch screen, no internal raw, no internal nd, and a bright red led instead of an evf...

How original...

An image sensor that is able to capture photons similarly to film. This, of course, is kind of ridiculous, because film uses crystals such as silver halides in galatin coated on a film base.
Here is an article that might give a glimpse into the (far distant) future of image capturing: https://www.nature.com/articles/492055a
Here is a short video related to it:

Unless we unexpectedly can come up with some sort of god-like AI system, or vastly superior and genetically modified beings, I do not foresee a top down solution to the mess we are in. Any thorough plan that threatens industrial life will be met with extreme hostility, especially from China, Russia and citizens over the world.

Perhaps it is time for the established camera companies to finally come up with something that resembles a 21th century camera body. One that resembles a smartphone, but with the bells and whistles of a proper camera. Sleek, pocketable, low-profile, a wide range of wireless functions like wireless charging, with new and smaller lenses.

Even the 13 year old Panasonic HDC-SD9 has global shutter.
