Tony Northup calls the A-mount a dead system

Share

On the video above our dear colleges Tony & Chelsea Northrup tried to predict the future of photography. And if you watch the video from minute 21 they are calling the dead of many systems including the Sony A-mount. Tony doesn’t advice anyone to buy into A-mount.

Now of course this is his very personal prediction. Officially Sony stated multiple times that they will keep developing the A-mount system. But in the past two years we got a couple of discouraging facts:

  • Many countries do not sell A-mount anymore (example Australia and Taiwan and many other Asian countries)
  • The last 24 months we got only one new A-mount camera (the A68)
  • On major shows (CES, CP+ and so on) Sony hardly advertise the A-mount system

I do certainly believe Sony will release A-mount products this year. But it’s really hard to tell if A-mount will be still alive in 3-4 years from now….
