  • Reading between the lines: Does this mean Sony has come up with a “new” sensor concept?

  • Distance isn't an issue

    What you have written DOES NOT prove that the camera industry is shrinking at all. The % of market share is smaller compared to mobile phones but it means nothing if in 2008 the number of DLSR’s sold was 100,000compared to 100 camera phone sales, and in 2016 100,000 DSLRS are sold while 900,000 camera phones are sold. If the same number of devices are sold in 2008 and 2016 it hasn’t shrunk it remained stable!, only the number of mobile phones sold has grown.
