Your really can feel that Mirrorlesss is the great word on the mouth of those companies. I think 2015 will be far more exciting than 2014. And probably Nikon and Canon will finally “get serious” on mirrorless too!

I expect Fuji and Canon to have A7 competitors by the end of 2015.
Nikon will be late to the party as usual. Not sure what Olympus will do. I just wish brands would use a common mount for this similar to the micro four thirds spirit.
I’m not so sure about fuji. I think Canon will be next with a ff mirrorless.
I agree. A FF standard mirror-less mount would be awesome! Probably too logical though…
I seriously doubt Fuji will pull a Sony and put out a FF mirrorless cam and neither will Olympus as they both are much more heavily invested in their sensor sizes due to the rather extensive lens libraries they have already created. Canon on the other hand, they will definitely create a FF mirrorless camera that will accept all of their current FF lenses. When they will? Likely when they see their marketshare in cameras drop. Until then, they’ll continue to squeeze out iterative products for the forseeable future.
“All do confirm mirrorless is the future!” really?
was mirrorless even mentioned on the canon interview? nikon? Nikon mentioned the Nikon 1 – certainly didn’t say “it’s the future”
of course the rest would say it’s the future – they have really nothing else to hope for.
Interesting observation. No comment from Mr. Admin?
Fuji are more likely to come out with a medium format camera. I can’t see them developing a new full-frame lens lineup right now.
Will be interesting to see where Panasonic goes next. They are the real trend-setters this year.
