Re: A prediction for camera industry for discuss here Alt board
Well, here\'s my take. When I bought my first Nex (the 7) last year, I did not think about a change of paradigmas at all. This year (2 weeks ago) I bought the Fuji X-E1 and since I have it, it was almost the only camera I used (except for comparision shots with my 5dII). Once getting into it, DSLRs quickly start to feel very very big and heavy.
To me it seems obvious that the great days of DSLRs are over. The AF speed of mirrorless will get better, with integration of phase detection AF. Right now the AF of those mirrorless still has this \"compact camera\" feeling, but once the transistion will be done, this will be the point where bigger chunks of the DSLR mass market will start to fall towards mirrorless systems (including the micro 4/3). They already do. Same for EVF quality. Not very exciting now, but in 4 years will be a different story.
I also think that with excellent lenses like the 35/1,4 for Fuji X the necessity for FF + fast lenses is much lower now, the look of that Fuji glass is gorgeous, and I expect the coming lenses to perform similar: 23/1,4 and 56/1,4...
