Sony NEX : what made their
Success from Start :
+ Small, Light + some models affordable...
+ the ability to Mount ANY LENS !
+ a Rear LCD that allows Rolleiflex Style Shooting
+ Easy to Manual Focus ANY LENS,
Focus Peaking is Great, Fast !
+ at the opposite of cheaper EOS DSLR, they had Very Good Sensors : SNR,
DR, ISO !
Despite :
- very few "E" Lenses : 1 pancake + 2 zoom rated from 1,5/5 to 2,5/5
- a Labyrinthic Menu System, made for Geeks only !
- "E" Zoom as Big as NEX was small
Analogy with the situation of Pentax :
+ the
Inventive Power to push them to invent THE Full-Frame Mirrorless Camera :
a Full-Frame System MILC to boost Pentax market share
+ one of the very
Best IQ !
+ this thread
Despite :
- very few modern "K" zoom lenses to mount on the Pentax K-1 flagship
- long time awaited modern primes, still unavailable
- a shrinking narrow Market Share
PS,
10 years ago :
Remember that before the NEX Success, in
2008, Sony-Camera was not bigger than Pentax now
Anyway Sony-Camera was far behind the Big Three : Canon, Nikon, PanaLympus
1 Full-Frame A900 + 4 APSc cameras : A700, A350, A300, A200 !
5 DSLR sharing a rare Minolta / Sony "A" Mount...
