I'm sort of wondering what to make of this.
Unlike some other guys I do not believe that NEX can go full format. While the sensor may fit physically there is still not sufficient space given the mount mechanics based on the "simulations" that I've seen.
An APS-C mirrorless camera based on the A-mount ... now I struggle to see the logic vs NEX. Two mirrorless mounts sound bizarre to me.
A full format SLT-only strategy is just as strange. An APS-C SLT costs almost nothing based on the full format SLT and NEX parts.
However, it would make sense if Sony abandoned Alpha given the low market share. It would fit into the grand picture that Sony is in need of restructuring/streamlining. That said I can't really imagine that they are that brutal.
