Sony is talking to the press like DC.watch and Amateur Photographer and those are the interesting bits of info:
- Mirrorless market is growing worldwide (In Japan Sony has 29% of the FF market share)
- A7rIII preorder numbers are higher than expected
- focus is on the professional market without to sacrifice the consumer market (but the boundaries between the two markets are getting closer)
- New VENICE camcorder sensor is based on a stills sensor (SAR note: Probably A9)
- In Europe Sony is the number one mirrorless share holder and the number two in the FF market
- it’s the surest bet imaginable that over the next year or two it will concentrate on releasing high-end long telephotos matched to the Alpha 9
- Don’t expect to see a Sony medium-format system appear any time soon
