If Sony made the sensor stack thinner on this body, that would be interesting for the Leica lens enthusiasts, if thinner is an option for dedicated lenses at all.
Why would Sony change the sensor stack thickness to favor M-lenses while negatively affecting their own lenses?
There is alway the option to Kolari-mod the sensor for about $500. I bet many will pursue this route.
Maybe Sony feelS they can undercut Leica’s market with very little additional R&D by using a thinner sensor stack and while charging way less than Leica body (good profit) but offering better IQ in a smaller package at a much lower price.
I don’t think they will, but not having to send a camera off to Kolari, breaking warrant and deal with WB and such would be awfully convenient.
I doubt any of the mass manufacturers are all that interested in Leica's small but dedicated base. We should probably be satisfied with the fact that we're getting a BSI sensor in the camera and not one of the more cross-talk prone designs like the Z5 or S5.
I agree, which is why I said I don’t think they will, but it does seem they very easily and practically could.
I see the new Sony A7C as a direct competitor to the Sigma FP camera in terms of offering a very compact full frame camera with a 24MP sensor. The initial rumors got me worries but as it is, the built-in viewfinder is a huge plus for the Sony compared to Sigma. We don't know video specs yet but the FP only does 4K 30.
I would have purchased the FP except the lack of an internal EVF. From what I can tell, the FP seems to be more of a video-centric camera from the specs and electronic only shutter and such.
I view this as more of a competitor to the new Nikon Z5 as very similarly spec'ed (as far as we know), and more still centric than the FP. But perhaps it's both--Sony's take on a relatively small entry level FF MILC. Panny just released there's too. But I didn't like their iteration as much.
