Fuji announces their new X-T2 (with Sony produced sensor). Do we need a flagship APS-C camera too?

A6300-vs-X-T2

Fuji announced their new APS-C flagship camera the Fuji X-T2 (specs here). Maybe not all of you know that the X-Trans sensor designed by Fuji is actually produced by Sony. And that’s why because of the recent Kumamoto disaster the X-T2 will ship in September only.

That said since the NEX-7 Sony did not make any so-called “flagship” top end APS-C E-mount model. Those are the kind of cameras that Fuji sells very well and I am wondering…

Should Sony make a high end APS-C E-mount camera?

Sony 8K E-mount prototype picture: Should the A9 look like that?

Share

SonyA9

Weeks ago a trusted source confirmed Sony is developing a new A9 camera. The size will be in between a classic DSLR and the current A7 line. If you wonder how such a camera could look well look at that prototype shows by Sony back at NAB 2013. So the question now is:

Would you consider to buy a bigger and more "DSLR" styled A9 camera?
