Thank you Ed for being the cool and revolutionary Lr instructor on the Net! Not only you have inspired me, but thousands around the world. Hats off to you :)

Excellent vid, analogies, and points about consumers and product development! Puts things in contemporary perspective - am old enough to have had a Commodore 64 as a first computer. Sony is largely an electronics co., a reason I believe they were able to make the advances they did. The Sony Mavika should have been in there somewhere. From time to time there are articles about new photographic technologies in the pipeline that would supplant current lens and sensor designs entirely - dark horses now, but who knows what will emerge, take hold for a time, and then be supplanted (wax to whale oil, to tungsten to LEDs). But we still have crayons 😁.

Very well made video. It's IMAX content! 👍

I was there when the NEX launched. I had so many dirty looks and smirks from Canon and Nikon users. Fast forward to now, I just purchase the GM 100-400 and GM 24-70 for that NEX. Just kidding, for the a7rii.

Great video.. well explained... thank you... i'm using a SONY mirrorless camera to shoot cars & bikes... Hope SONY should follow the same strategy for other products like Xperia, Bravia, VAIO, etc... (SONY please bring back VAIO)

Mirrorless is the future for digital cameras perhaps but the humble landscape fine-art photographer just needs a 6x7/4x5 and a 6x17, fancy tech doesn't really do much extra for us! I'll continue using digital but for wildlife, as a back-up and for fast changing light. Great video by the way and very insightful!

I Never liked Sony's mirrorless.. and I USED to be a Nikon user, gave up on Nikon, but now I think I want to give the new Nikon mirrorless Z series a try. They look very promising and more competitive. So you know what..? You're right.. thank you Sony indeed. Great job on the video, loved it!

Preach it brother! Amen!!!!!

the design of Sony cameras looks like it won't last 5 mins in the rain.

canon and nikon joined the mirrorless ship xp sony: hehe

Camera is a niche market unlike phones.

I think that is the best pro-capitalist, pro-innovation, pro-competition video I've seen!

Sony has done more for my favourite addiction than any other camera company...

This video is amazing!!! although I'd disagree slightly with the message. Some companies are driven by passion for what they do (Apple, Nikon, BMW), while others are clearly driven just by market share growth (Sony, Samsung, Hyundai). This trickles down and is apparent in each of the products themselves. Anyway you are right! consumers are the ultimate winners! :)

I have a A7iii. Best Camera i have ever seen.

Sony should now improve on the LCD back screens. Maybe they should try to import better OLED technology on the back screens.

20 years ago I wanted those pro features from Nikon at prosumer prices. Gave up on Nikon in 2010 and basically all cameras. Then 2014 came around and all of a sudden it was the GH4 that kick started for me. In 2015 it was the a6300 that got me. In 2016 it was the a6500. In 2018 it was the a7iii. In 4 years I bought more cameras and lenses than I had in the previous 20 years. I’m waiting for the a7s3. So yes Sony is the clear leader and canikon will go the way of blackberries and Nokia.

Sony created a niche market for sure. Nikon wants in on that too.

Agree

More of Dear Micro Four Thirds (Olympus and Panasonic) - Thank you for the mirrorless camera revolution. Might also want to note that the digital camera industry has been shrinking for a long time as smartphones become more sophisticated. There are still more professionals on Canon and Nikon. For overall mirroless sales within the last decades (at least for Japan) Olympus is generally at the top.

Hype is the word of 2010ths. Shifting from film to sensor was a revolution indeed. But moving from mirror to mless is just evolution and its not total. Many pros and enthusiasts will stay with dslr

I guess we are taking about the differences in what we see as a revolution. for me its more about social change. I think we are going to see a huge shift in the way the photography and video community interact with cameras. mirrorless and DSLR do work differently and it means the user must interact and think differently. because I think that there is going to be a huge shift and in the next 10 years maybe a total shift to mirrorless cameras I saw this as a revolution. But you are right, I was probably overdoing it somewhat. hahaha

@@clearlyed Sure, we will find out eventually, I have no doubt m-less cameras will become much more popular in 4 years and I don't mean to desregard the new technology. My point was that method of focusing does not make as substential difference as the actual way of light processing was in mid 2000. But everybody silently switched to digital without excessive hype, because that was undeniable progress. As for ml vs dslr, personally I live fine with traditional viewfinder and don't really mind the live view focusing apart from focus peaking. But it is good to have this feature anyway. And I am certanly considering to get z6 or z7 l (btw, have you seen the fresh"leaked" fotos of these two?))) For me the best thing in recent developments is that the competition made nikon to introduce their new mount. Will I move to ml if they can make a superb evf while improving battery life? Not sure yet.

with all this new models battle, in a year, the A7iii's price will be so low that maybe i would be able tu buy one lol (I know everyone thinks like i do)

Rewriting history, somewhat. Sony was still messing around with translucent mirrors on their Alpha system when m4/3 showed them how it could be done. It was Olympus and Panasonic who took the initial leap of faith to mirrorless (because they had less to lose). Sony finally saw the way forward and kudos for that, but they would not have done it so quickly without seeing what m4/3 was going to be capable of. So, no way did Sony "create" the mirrorless revolution, but they are a major driver (at least until Canon gets properly in the game).

Brilliant ! Sad to think that Canon & Nikon are still playing with dinosaurs...

Good comparison between Apple and Sony! Why? Well, I read ones in a book that Steve Jobs admires Sony and how they built products. I think Sony with Mirrorless cameras can achieve a lot of innovation, and that's great for the consumer because technology is better and better all the time an as photographers we need more innovation to be more eficient.

Yes to the faster development but will the market grow? I’m skeptical because the entire process of photography has been streamlined by smartphones. Easier than ever and with results that are good enough. Yup, there will certainly be more and more people who dive more deeply into the art that is photography as well as filmography but will the market size increase massively? I am skeptical. Excellent video though!

Mirrorless sale went up 30% last year, against a downward trend for camera as a whole, there is a market if the products are good.

I think you missed a massive point, most of the research money for the sensor came from apple that pushed the sony sensor designs they could in return play out in their cameras once they took over minolta. We will see that happen again with the stacked sensor concepts first deployed in the smaller sensors and proto-typed in the a9... they will force a even more simple design where next to the mirror also the shutter will go and i suspect over time even the ibis will go again less moving parts for sony mostly driven by their sales in phones and car sensors. It is true they did listen on what sucked on their first few tries and that would should be a lesson to canon and nikon but even if they do they have the sensor power of sony to follow .. unless samsung jumps back in and join either canon or nikon bigtime.. just my 2 cents...

I sold my Leica and bought an A7RIII because I thought it was the best camera ever produced. It worked well one month ; and then I had a fist break down, then a second one, then a third one,... then I sold it all. The after sales service is more than bad and the costumer department is enough to make you cry. Good buy Sony !

I have a lot of envy for the early adopters of the mirrorless technologies. running my production company I just could take the risk. however have often thought I should have done. but hey, the miriness camera race is on. Im excited and think I may actually get involved now.

The only good reason to shoot mirrorless, for me, is the ability to easily adapt vintage manual lenses. I really hope this doesn't turn out into a mirrorless war where each company issues a new 2000$ camera each year! It's gonna be a waste of resources for the companies and it'll turn photography and videography alike into a pointles fanboi specs game, where you won't be focusing on the actual result but on the gear you can afford. Seems like hell to me.
