Sony goes full mirrorless! A and E-mount!

Matrix agent’s would say…It was inevitable MR-Anderson! Panasonic and Samsung dropped the DSLR world, Olympus will do it soon. So, what is Sony going to do? According to very reliable sources Sony is going to transform their A-mount cameras in pure mirrorless by getting rid of both the classic mirror and their unique semitransparent (or translucent) mirror tech. Some of you may wonder why at that point Sony is not going the E-mount route only. Apparently the A-mount mirrorless will keep the DSLR form size while E-mount cameras will focus on compact size. Plus, A-mount camera have on sensor stabilization while the E-mount has not.

The first A-mount mirrorless cameras will come in early 2014. Now let’s see how long it takes until Canon and Nikon will get “serious” with mirrorless too!

New Canon EOS-M camera and lens rumors…

It doesn’t sound like Canon want to aim the more advanced segment of the mirrorless market. CR. reports that: “Canon doesn’t have plans currently to launch more EOS M prime lenses, as they see the segment as “entry level”. What Canon could announce this summer is just a new EOS-M camera with a new 18-135mm zoom and another telephoto zoom. Canon truly doens’t want to hurt his own REBEL sales. But is that the right approach?

That happy Fuji rep is holding a yet not announced new Fuji camera :) The Swedish website Cyberphoto (google translation here) claims that the cameras hold by that smiling Fuji rep is a new model that Fuji will announce this summer: “unfortunately, we can not say whether it is compact or SLR. What we can say is that no current model is changed without Fujifilm expands its range. More information will come.

Of course they did blur out the camera to make us more nervous :) But it’s easy to guess that this will be the rumored new X entry level system camera!
