Sony is the crazy horse of the camera industry. They keep turning things up side down to succeed in the digital camera market. Unlike Nikon and Canon they at least bring to us some excitement at almost every camera release :) Check out these two BH articles that sum up the Sony camera history:
1) Infographic: Inventive Camera Designs from Sony (Click here).
2) Innovative Journey in Camera Design and Technology (Click here).
The Sigma Dp0 Quattro with the 21mm f/4.0 lens will cost $999 and ship in July.
found via Sigma Rumors.
from Mirrorless RumorsThe digital camera market is shrinking dramatically but Sony seems to have found the way out of the crisis. Their focus is on premium mirrorless system cameras and premium fixed lens cameras.
On a press conference in New York Imaging Resource shared this picture of a Sony slide showing how Sony's digital camera sales are growing!
Of course Sony doesn't show their "cheap" entry level compact fixed lens cameras sales. They are basically down to zero :)

from Mirrorless Rumors
Until now there was no "standard" to define mirrorless system cameras. We had plenty of different definitions like:
- Digital Interchangeable Lens System Cameras (DILSC),
- Electronic Viewfinder with Interchangeable Lens (EVIL).
- Mirrorless System Cameras (MSC),
- Compact System Cameras (CSC),
- Digital Single Lens Mirrorless (DSLM).
But at last the Consumer Electronics Association (CEA) decision recognized “Mirrorless” as the official term for interchangeable lens cameras that do not include a mirror mechanism!
Amazing it took seven years to sort this out :)
