Personal View posted the graphs of the February digital camera sales. As you can see there is no big news. Camera sales are still bad compared to the previous year (which was alreayd a very bad year). And this time both DSLR and Mirrorless camera shipments were lower than the same month 12 months ago. Wondering when this will ever end to fall and fall...
The full detailed numbers can be see on that CIPA PDF.
I guess the question that we have to answer is not "if" but "when" Sony will finally make their first multilayer sensor cameras. The last few years Sony patented many such Foveon alike sensor ideas. And the newest patent underlines their effort to design a much improved version of the Sigma sensor. To get rid of the corner issues of foveon sensor Sony plans to add a lens on top of the sensor. This will correct the Light Ray angle and allow a perfect sharp image on the entire frame.
Really Sony...do it now!
