A6000 vs T5 (1200D) at Camerasize.

Here at SAR we often complain about the issues of some Sony cameras but we also do often forget that Sony is really leading the innovation in the digital camera industry unlike so many other companies. This week for example we had the Sony A6000 (specs here at Amazon) and the Canon T5 (specs here at Amazon) announcement.

Well Nofilmschool compared the two cameras and more in general the two companies and writes:

It’s simply stunning how much more tech Sony is fitting into their camera than Canon is in theirs. Not to harp on Canon (because Nikon isn’t much better), but Canon has essentially released the same 18MP camera over and over again for the last 3-4 years.

No doubt that Sony did shake the camera industry but Sony stills struggles to increase the market share in the system camera market. Innovation alone is not enough yet. They should create confidence by releasing more “mature” products and deliver a better support too. But more important they should unveil clear A and E-mount lens roadmap (for both FF and APS-C system). That’s the one thing to do to create a long term confidence. I hope the next Sony announcement scheduled for late March will also include new lenses!
