Spotted: Sony CEO testing the new Nikon DSLR

Bildschirmfoto 2016-03-01 um 13.19.55

Sony CEO Hirai got spotted testing the new Nikon D5 and D500 DSLR cameras at the CP+ show. Beside the pure gossip nature of this “event” I really do hope Mr. Hirai recognizes the need of “bigger” cameras. For better balance, improved handling options, larger batteries and so on. We really want to handle those A9 and A99II cameras at Sony’s Photokina booth!
