(1) Tanaka-san (the head of ILC at Sony) goes on about sports shooter and their needs and how they will be able to be satisfied by mirrorless in a way which makes it clear that Sony really do plan, at some point, to fight for that market. I was never sure until now..
(2) Towards the end he talks about how he "wants to show you new camera" in a way which makes we think that the rumours of an announcement soon are both likely true, and (because of (1) likely a speed demon type camera. May not be too pricey - he also goes on about how the 1Dx etc are too expensive because of the mirror having to go so fast - though maybe he means for the manufacturer, not the photographer!
(3) Three years ago, the US bought more full frame cameras than China. Now China buys *twice as many* as the US. Also, China and the US buy half. So that tells us that third of all full frame cameras are sold in China.
Oh well speed type camera coming. Good. I can keep my money for longer before the future A7rIII or equivalent!! I know if it's announced i'll weaken, but it's not like I need it!
