German photo market: DSLR sales in RED. Mirrorless sales in Grey (Unit sold in tausend).

The German site Heise.de reports that Sony confirmed that in November and December they sold more Full Frame cameras than  both Nikon and Canon. Sony sold 34% of all FF cameras and surpassed Nikon and Canon for the first time.

Recently an interesting and extremely detailed analysis of the German market has been posted on MirrorlessRumors. In very short it shows that:
– The DSLR market is shrinking
– Lens sales are dropping too
– Mirrorless system camera market is slowly growing
– Action camera market is booming

Thanks Anton for sharing the Heise news!

We got a new competition in the mirrorless system world. Sigma just announced their first two mirrorless camera: The SD Quattro with  “39 megapixel RGB equivalent” Foveon APS-C sensor and the SD Quattro H with  “51 megapixel RGB equivalent” Foveon APS-H sensor. Both cameras come with the standard Sigma SA mount which is the same mount used by their DSLR cameras. Full Sigma Quattro camera news coverage and specs at Mirrorlessrumors.

And our Sibuzaru shows us what shouls have been the real mount of those cameras…E-mount! That would have been nice!

The new Sigma 30mm f/1.4 E-mount lens got announced today and can be preordered at BHphoto, Adorama. This could become a hotseller among APS-C E-mount camera owners. The lens is fast and cheap (compared to current Sony f/1.4 E-mount range). So the question is:

Sigma’s new MC-11 adapter cost $249 and will ship in April according to BHphoto (preorder here).It costs $150 less than the Metabones and I hope it works as good or maybe even better than the Metabones. Afterall Sigma has a long history of making their AF lenses work on Canon cameras.

This is the description of the new adapter:

The Sigma MC-11 Mount Adapter enables the use of Canon EF-mount lenses on Sony E-mount mirrorless camera bodies, and maintains full lens performance, including autofocus and auto-exposure, as well as in-camera correction technologies. An integrated LED can be used to display select Sigma lens compatibility with the adapted camera body, and the adapter also supports in-camera image stabilization. In order to maintain a high degree of image quality, the interior of the adapter is flocked to reduce reflections, and it also retains full EXIF data to benefit post-production and file management.

This is the compatibility list for Sigma lenses:

Also Canon lenses will work with the new adapter. This means
