2019 results: Sony owns 49,1% of the worldwide Image Sensor market share

Share

Pulsenews reports:

The world’s image sensor market is estimated to grow to $27 billion by 2023 from $17.2 billion in 2019, according market research firm Techno Systems Research (TSR). In the market, Sony took up the lion’s share of 49.1 percent, much bigger than 17.9 percent of Samsung Electronics.

I am looking forward to Sony’s next generation sensors for APS-C and FF cameras. I guess the first Global Shutter and 3 layer sensors might be coming in 2-3 years.

RUMOR: A new camera is coming soon…is it the fixed lens camera or is there also something more?

Share

One single source got hinted that Sony will announce a camera “soon”. The word “Soon” is relative and my guess it means within a couple of weeks. The safest bet is that this is the fixed lens camera already registered in Asia. But there is a “lot of whisper” on this camera. Translated for you readers this means this ain’t going to be just a boring minor release.

Also I keep mixed feedback on the A7sII successor…while the camera might not be on market soon there is a small chance that Sony will give us some kind of “teaser” of this camera. If they are smart they will do it to kill the attention from the EOS-R5 and X-T4.

To sum up what we know so far:

  • 100% chance Sony will have an announcement day around February 25
  • 100% chance we will get the 20mm f/1.8 FE G
  • 60% chance we will get a new “camera” around February 25
  • 100% chance the 12-24mm f/2.8 GM will be available this summer
