Show notes

Chelsea & Tony Northrup discuss the rumors of the new Sony Alpha medium format mirrorless camera, with a BIGGER sensor than the Fujifilm GFX cameras. MORE megapixels, too, with up to 200 megapixels... and it has one more trick: A CURVED SENSOR! We discuss the rumors, whether making a medium format camera in 2022 makes any sense, and what we think Sony might actually release.

Is Sony REALLY #1 in Cameras? Yes, it matters. Feb 28, 2022

Show notes

Sony recently announced that they were the #1 camera manufacturer, above Canon, Nikon, Fujifilm, Olympus, and Panasonic in several important segments... But their data tells only part of the story. Tony Northrup digs into WHY this is very important (something photographers using Pentax can totally relate to). He then analyzes several data sources, including BCN, Nikkei, and Google Trends, to determine who is really number one (for both all digital cameras and mirrorless cameras).

The answer is complex, with 4 major turning points: 1) In the 1940s, WWII's divided occupation of Germany set it back, while the United States' occupation of Japan seems to have helped the Japanese camera companies 2) In the 1950s, the Korean war brought many photojournalists to the US-occupied Japan, and David Douglas Duncan, in particular, had great success with Japanese lenses on their Leica cameras. In the US, Joe Erinreich promoted Nikon heavily. 3) In the 1990s and 2000s, US digital camera companies (such as Kodak and Polaroid) failed to transition to the digital era. 4) In the 2010s, the transition from conventional cameras to smartphones saw non-Japanese camera companies (such as Samsung) exit the market. Japanese camera companies didn't have the freedom to easily exit the industry because of the legal challenges around layoffs.
