Why Sony Needs to Bring Back Minolta NOW to Beat the Nikon Zf!
In 2013, Sony launched the first full-frame mirrorless camera. Since then, the basic design has remained unchanged. With the Sony A7c, we got a rangefinder-style version. But I think it’s time for Sony to consider developing an alternative version, something more ‘classic’ that can compete more directly with extremely popular cameras such as the Nikon ZF, the Fujifilm X-T5 and the future Canon full-frame vintage camera. Sony wouldn’t have to reinvent the wheel:
- Take the same basic Sony A7rV specs and one entry level version with Sony A7V specs (for the younger generation).
- Create a classic design camera based on the acquired Minolta heritage
- The body itself should be of premium quality with classic Film dials (ISO, Shutter)
- In my dreamworld this camera would also inherently have Kodak Film styles
What do you think about this?
