Ξεχώρισα αυτό που ενδιαφέρει νομίζω τους περισσότερους ερασιτέχνες και έχουμε συζητήσει αρκετες φορές στα σχετικά νήματα κάνοντας συγκρίσεις με τα φωτογραφικα κινητά :
In the past, the term ‘entry-level’ was used to describe any easy to use camera which delivered good picture quality but the pictures from smartphones aren’t bad, if you just want something for casual and everyday use. And if the smartphone takes over that role, then they’ll become the entry-point to the world of photography. The hallmark for all camera manufacturers, not just us, is to understand the needs of customers and introduce products that encourage more people to take up photography as a hobby.
Επισης αναφέρθηκε και στην εξέλιξη των αισθητηρων και πως αυτό θα επηρεάσει το m43 σύστημα (λιγο πολύ οτι έγραψα στο προηγούμενο post) :
Technology will develop, and the physical disadvantages of smaller sensors will be eliminated in future. Once this happens, the last variables will be the size and weight of the hardware. And that’s where we have a big advantage with the Micro Four Thirds system. We’ll continue to develop products and technologies that will change the perception of smaller sensors. I can’t wait to hear people one day saying ‘I thought having a small sensor was a disadvantage’.
How much longer do you think there will be a market for entry-level ILCs like the OM-D E-M10 IV?
I think that the entry-level line will always exist, unless people lose interest in photography, and I don’t think that will happen. The only questions are how entry-level is defined, and what features do people expect to see in those cameras? The more that smartphones camera features evolve, the smaller the gap will become between phones and current entry-level cameras will become. And when that happens, our definition of entry-level in the camera market may need to change.In the past, the term ‘entry-level’ was used to describe any easy to use camera which delivered good picture quality but the pictures from smartphones aren’t bad, if you just want something for casual and everyday use.

So do you think that what we currently call the ‘entry-level’ class will evolve to become more advanced, and more expensive?
Yes, that’s definitely one possibility.Επισης αναφέρθηκε και στην εξέλιξη των αισθητηρων και πως αυτό θα επηρεάσει το m43 σύστημα (λιγο πολύ οτι έγραψα στο προηγούμενο post) :
