Back to the Future? -- NEX-5N & Leica-R 28mm f2.8. Click for larger.
Fujifilm has announced that they will be creating a mirrorless camera system ready for Spring of 2012. So now every major and minor camera makers has their own EVIL camera, except Canon. I am sure Canon will not let everybody else have all the fun. I will bet that they will announce their own EVIL camera in 2012. Hopefully it won't be a let down like the Nikon 1.
I am looking forward to the Fuji mirrorless. Their claimed the sensor will have more resolution, and image quality better than any of today's full frame or APS-C sensors. That's a pretty tall order to fill, but I hope it will be true. Fuji is one of those oddball companies that occasionally has something brilliant/different. In a way, they are like Ricoh, who does things their own way.
Perhaps, 2012 will be a year of the EVIL and full frame cameras.
fingers crossed
ReplyDeleteback when the super ccd came out I didn't fully grasp why it was better and bought a Nikon Coolpix instead ... funny innit
I never took the time to understand the super ccd either, but the dynamic range for jpeg were truly impressive from the S3/S5. I am looking forward to their 3-layer sensor!
ReplyDelete3-Layer? Were the Fuji guys working on Sigmalike 3-Layer sensor? This would surprise me.
ReplyDeleteThe Tramway picture is excellent. Raindrops in front of the lens? Postprocessing?
@scarlatti: I think Fuji patented a 3-layer sensor design (so was Canon, I believe).
ReplyDeleteI shot the above picture inside my car and it was raining outside :)
