Sony is closing the gap on Nikon and Canon
Henry Peach wrote: As long as Sony keeps doing things like making a wacky speedlight foot/shoe they will fail. As long as they refuse to let other companies make things for their wacky designs they will fail. I need an off camera flash cord for my Sony NEX. Sony won't make one, and they won't let anyone else make one either (they have patent control on their wacky flash interface). My next compact camera will not be a Sony.
Apple had/has that business plan. The difference is that they had a unique product. As other brands produce "mirrorless" models, Sony will either wake up or shrivel and die. Even Apple has opened the door a little (running Windows on their PCs). They have the money to buy up composition like Microsoft did for a while and troll for patents. It's what keeps Apple alive.Canon stays ahead of Nikon in the comsumer DSLR market for the same reason. Lack of add-ons and protecting proprietary hardware/software for their entry level units. Far easier to find third party equipment for Canon entry level than for Nikon.
Shoot, learn and share. It will make you a better photographer.
