We have some more Sony and Olympus rumors:
1) Sony confirmed new generation of FF E-mount cameras is coming very soon!
2) Sony will use the fast A6000 AF on FE cameras.
3) Sigma said they expect Sony to launch foveon sensors
4) Olympus said a fast 10-11mm prime is likely to come in 2015
All great news don’t you agree? let’s hope the Sony FE cameras will finally have a close to DSLR autofocus performance!

if it is true, then Sigma must update its Foveon digicam better, with firmware and SPP! Otherwise they will lose this completely. Perhaps, it is even good, so Sigma can concentrate for best Art-lenses!
And it would be beneficial for the customer, rather than grapple with “half-finished” digicam.
There is nothing wrong with the Merrills or the new Quattro camera’s from sigma, sure they have their quirks but for the price nothing comes close to the IQ and the leaf shutter is awesome for strobist work oustide.
If this is true, we can be sure that Sony will kill a lot of competition and they will become the No1 of the MLIC-world. Those owning & understanding the design & engineering of sensors will survive. The others will fight. Another important player on the radar is Samsung. I’m afraid that companies like Fuji will get into trouble because they cannot follow the pace at which newer and more advanced products are being released, while they still are coping with first generation design flaws.
Sony has much lower launch prices compared with others. A6000 is a steal for what it offers and a7 is really competitive. And performance and iq are top.
Er, Sony is and always has been the No mirrorless vendor, by far.
As soon as canikon or anyone else for that matter enter the market with a better thought out mount that’s not to small like Sony’s I wouldn’t be so sure they will kill anyone. Their lenses are to big for a compact system camera.
Says Sigma my friend has the A7 nobody can touch his photo’s , as far as Canon and Nikon remember when Philco Tv’s were popular like Canon Camera’s . You can put the entire Canon corp into one Sony warehouse
You can put Sony’s, Nikon’s, Fuji’s, Olympus’s and canons together in samsungs and look how badly they have done so far. It proves nothing.
How badly – the Samsung NX-1 has better spec’s than any camera made today
Great specs, terrible sales numbers. Plus the specs and the output don’t quite line up in the past with Samsung sensors. Maybe they’ve fixed that, but meh.
really,look all competitors panasonic had 3MOS sensor with handycams ,canon ready to release 3 or more layers,fuji had feveon-like patents & time of organic sensor,
long and long time sony still pump up new body and lack of lens. ;P
