Quote:The one thing i watch for with Nex is I think they are most likely to introduce a FF model.Most likely still doesn't mean likely. The RX1 certainly got a lot of attention, but could it be a stepping stone to FF mirrorless?
Quote:Fuji looks very interesting and I think in another generation or two they will improve the auto-focus issue as well as other refinements.For sure, as said the X100s seems to have been kicked up a gear over the X100, and it would be logical to include that in a near future X-Pro.
Quote:I guess one open question is can the market support all three (4 if you consider MFT has two players) ?If we can draw parallels with the DSLR market, where we have two big leaders (CaNikon), a significant third (Sony Alpha), and the one that refuses to die (Pentax).
In mirrorless land, I'd say right now MFT combined is probably leading, and NEX is more or less up there. Here things divert from the DSLR parallel. Fuji aren't playing exactly the same game, aiming higher end so would tend to remain a niche. Nikon 1 and Canon M will probably have enough backing they wont die, but even with that it remains a question if they can break through to significance. And I'm sure Samsung could do better but they really need to shout a lot more.
