And Zeiss Loxia series won for best CSC primes. 🙂
It’s just a shame that there isn’t an a-mount equivalent of the 5100 – it’s a very impressive camera for the money.
its a shame there isnt an A-mount equivalant of the A7II, A7R, and A7s too…
I’m all in for a A-mount equivalent of the A7S as long as it has at least 10fps and amazing AF module that could compete against the 1DX or at least the D4S.
i believe that nikon 7200 won the best DSLR ASPC sensor. according to DXO it is a sony sensor.
Like so many awards, this has its fair share of oddities!
I suppose a significant issue is that it is so hard to define categories now, so you get things like: “Best CSC Professional”, awarded to the Samsung NX1, and the “Best Photo/Video Camera Professional”, awarded to the Sony A7S. What is that about???
If one believes that CSC is an abbreviation for ‘Compact System Camera’, should not a principal attribute be compactness? The NX1 is undoubtedly a fine camera, but it is neither compact, nor an ideal professional tool, given the lack of dedicated optics.
Keeping with the them of ‘Professional’, I doubt Nikon would promote the D810 as a better tool than the D4 as regards the general understanding.
Then you get results like “Best Design”, given to the Leica Typ T, despite reports of it being completely to the contrary in use. Looks good, but difficult to use. That is not ‘good design’ in my view.
Also, “Best storage media”, goes to EyeFi Mobi Pro….??????!!!!!?????
Yet another award scheme that one should take with a pinch of salt and bear in mind different priorities, some of which will never be clear!
Plenty of TIPA awards won by anyone!
GET IN SONY! keep it up.
