Another Kenji Tanaka Senior General Manager of Sony’s Digital Imaging Business Group Interview

Amateur Photographer interviewed Kenji Tanaka about the future of Sony cameras. Below are excerpts from the interview:

Mirrorless has a big advantage over DLSR’s speed, vibration, image quality
The diameter of the lens mount doesn’t matter
Sony’s 400mm f/2.8 is built better than their competitors
Sony could make f/1 lens if they wanted but there isn’t really a market for them
Sony might make a f/1.2 in the future
Sony has a 5-year head start on others producing lenses
The ILC market continues to shrink, but Sony mirrorless has been growing.
Sony wants to figure out how to make the market grow.
Nikon/Canon/Panasonic shouldn’t copy Sony if they want the market to grow.
Sony isn’t focused on competitors.
Sony has plans for another sports lens in the future beyond the 400mm f/2.8
Making bigger cameras is against Sony’s philosophy
