Yeah, seems as if the SLT development took most of their resources so they didn't really care for their SLRs. The NEX will boost their market share quite a bit though. If I had to guess - without a mirrorless system both Canon and Nikon will suffer soon.

I would think that that is a very good assessment. The NEX sells like mad over here, the alphas didn't do too well, and Sony wanted to be the top dslr seller within a few years, which didn't happen with the alpha. So a refocus is a good idea in that case, and if that is a dslr replacement, it is in a way the dslr market too <img src='http://forum.photozone.de/public/style_emoticons/<#EMO_DIR#>/biggrin.gif' class='bbc_emoticon' alt='

Kind regards, Wim
