Sony is releasing 2 new compact full frame cameras on Wed.
One is 24mp the other 36mp. They are 15% bigger than the very small Nex 7.
Zeiss lenses are being released with them.
These could be a game changer. Price is less than a Canon 6D, Nikon D610 and D800E. The 36mp one has no antialiasing filter. The 24mp one has phase detect pixels on sensor for helping autofocus.
These are serious competition for Canon/Nikon. If you've ever used these mirrorless type cameras they are very appealling with their small compact form and lightness. A common remark is some people find lugging around their large and heavy DSLR unpleasant.
These are all new sensors as well. So I expect possible top ratings for these new sensors over anything else on the market.
They are going to take a considerble market share off Canikon here as Sony are the first to get these compact full frame cameras to the market and both Canon and Nikon's attempts to make mirrorless have not been met with a lot of enthusiasm.
They could be good because they are way less load on a Polarie and easier to handle. An electronic viewfinder is handy once you've used one.
