Imagine This:

“We are two photographers from Toronto that spent most of our student loan developing a 360-camera array (with Sony SLRs) that surpasses high-end professional 360-cameras (like the OZO and Gopro Omni) in image quality. Here are the links to test footage that we shot: 

https://youtu.be/mYfIW8tFaX0

https://youtu.be/U3mxFHmWg_Q

The test footage’s image quality in terms of resolution and lowlight performance is better than anything we’ve ever seen online. We thought your readers might be interested in the video and how far current camera technology can take us. We would love to know your thoughts and comments on the video. Please view in 8K or in a VR viewer for the best experience!””

Fuji believes next generation (Sony) sensors should be enough to make Mirrorless beat DSLRs in every respect.

Back in February Dpreview interviewed Mr. Toshihisa Iida from Fuji. I missed to report one of his most interesting statements is this:

“There are several things that mirrorless manufacturers need to focus on. Number one is speed, still, to attract sports photographers. Also viewfinder blackout, we need to innovate there. Maybe one more processor and sensor generation should be enough to make mirrorless beat DSLRs in every respect.”

As you all know Fuji uses Sony sensors. That means they are confident Sony’s next generation sensor with improved on phase detection will be good enough to beat DSLR cameras in the “sports photography” segment.
