Sony’s 42mp BSI sensors are pretty awesome and now their new 24mp BSI sensor is also awesome.
But something tells me Sony are saving something really ground breaking for when both Canon & Nikon enter the FF mirrorless market.
Global sensor perhaps?
Organic sensor?
Something out-there I reckon.
He's still lurkingWhere’s Andrew?
That sounds a good feature. I don't like BBF.
Maybe because they're heavily invested in Canon glass and hope that lenses will be compatible? Sony lenses are just too pricey as there's not a lot of mid range lenses available.
tbh im not. it has to be gorund breaking to tempted me. ive learned a lot from u guys who kept switching systems.
Watch both Nikon and Canon make a new lens mount with prices similar to Sony lenses
I'm sure they will be expensive, and if you read my post I wasn't saying that Sony are particularly more expensive than Canikon, just that they don't have lower end lenses to make the system more affordable. Plus there's no real 3rd party stuff yetWatch both Nikon and Canon make a new lens mount with prices similar to Sony lenses
It’s all about making money.
I'd be surprised if Canon's IQ was as good, certainly not in terms of noise and DR, but probably will be better in terms of colour.

I guess I just got lucky with currency fluctuations.
Your right, 3rd party manufactures are slowly warming to FE so in time I hope it’s addressed
TBH I think most people are aware that Canikon mirrorless will have to introduce a new mount, but I think most are hoping that they will also make existing lenses be fully compatible (including AF speed). I think it would be a bad move for both if they didn't as it will take years to release a lens lineup even close to what they have now, and they are already several years behind Sony in that regards too.[/QUOTE]

actually even the cheapo 3rd party adapters that you can get for £20-50 will work just as well. Like I said somewhere above eos-m and EF use the same protocols. The adapter is just a hollow tube with simple wires connecting the contacts.
TBH as Cankion have bee so tardy in pulling their finger out in releasing mirrorless they've now left themselves between a rock and a hard place. Bring out a new mount without making existing lenses fully compatible and you upset a lot of current users, and potentially lose more customers to Sony as there'll not be anywhere enough lenses to suit everyone's needs. Only Canikon will know what they're going to do, but as I said by waiting so long they've made it difficult.
That would be mega if Sony and Nikon did that, unfortunately I don't see that happening.
TBH I still prefer the view looking through OVF's, it's just so much nicer on the eye. A lot of the other features don't really interest me either, such as eye AF, peaking etc, for my shooting none of these are of any benefit. One feature that is useful (to me) is to see the cropped view in DX mode, and on the very odd occasion having the WYSIWYG in the EVF can be useful. The debate as to which is better will go on forever I feel, just like the Canon vs Nikon debate. What's odd is that a lot of EVF fanatics don't understand why some prefer OVFs
1dx2/Canon rig. I'd like to add a Sony mirrorless just for GAS but times/tech change fast so I will hang fire for the main players to catch up , after all it was only a short while back that Sony found there feet and got with the program re the A7/9. Give it a year from now and see what hits the market, some say Sony have an ace card to play when Canon etc bring out a mirrorless, I'd say they have nothing other than what they have now, my guess is no matter what they all produce I will still have GAS and my photography will be none the better for any of them...
