Nice interview with Mr. Okada Chihiro: From astroparticle physics to designing the Sony A1

Share

Okada Chihiro has played a big role in the Sony A1 development and he talks about this here: sony-semicon.com/en/feature/2022121201.html. It’s interesting ot learn he came from astroparticle physics! And his goals are clear to:

The synthesis refers to the technical advancement to realize high-quality moving imagery where any one frame may be as good as a still image. This is the ultimate ideal for the digital mirrorless interchangeable-lens cameras. The latest model α1 is not exactly the ideal embodied but certainly moves a step closer to it as it delivers a seamless switching between the high-speed readout of moving images and display of still images, which represents a significant achievement. 

The holy grail of Sony is clear: Merging Video and Photo world in one single camera.

2023 camera predictions from Tony&Chelsea Northrup: A9III, A7cII, A1000

Share

The Northrup predicted the release of the following products:

I believe that all of them are correct with the only major doubt being that “baby A1”. Surely it would make sense to release such a model, and I am nearly certain in 2023 we will get a new APS-C camera. But Id out yet it’s going to be a baby A1 (APS-c camera in A1 body).
