Spanish test at Photolari.
According to BCNranking Sony increased it’s mirrorless market share on the Japanese market up to 34%. Canon had a slight decline down to 22% and Fuji is getting closer to Canon at 20%. There has been a quite dramatic sales drop for OM Digital which is somewhat to be expected after the transition. What’s really worth to be noted: Nikon is far behind all of those companies. Quite worrisome!

Dpreview tested the 8K feature of the Sony A1:
8K might sound like it’s completely unnecessary, given how few people have 8K displays and the diminishing returns that higher-resolution panels show at comfortable viewing distances. However, just like the early days of 4K, there’s a distinct value to being able to capture footage at higher resolution than you intend it to be viewed.
In this instance, most of the footage has been downsampled to 4K resolution, which should give higher levels of detail than you’d get from native 4K capture. The higher resolution also offers the possibility to crop and pan within the larger 8K region, while still offering at least 4K quality. Such examples are marked in the video.
