Phototokina fair is being held this week. As expected, many camera manufacturers release their new camera models before the fair start. I am excited about the new models and is considering whether to jump into the mirrorless interchangeable-lens camera(MILC) wagon. I used to own Canon DSLR but sold it off as I wanted a lighter camera for travelling. I am looking into high-end compact camera or MILC. For MILC, the more established setup are from Panasonic and Olympus. They are the companies using M4/3 standard. For other MILC manufacturers, they are all using their proprietary mounting just as their DSLR. The different mounting is irrelevant but the sensor sensor size is. The bigger the sensor size, the better picture quality you will get. Sony, Samsung, Fujifilm, Canon and Pentax, except for Nikon which uses 1"sensor, use APS-C sensor which is larger than the M4/3 but these companies are new into mirrorless market. Panasonic and Olympus are the pioneers in mirrorless market and they have a good collect of M4/3 lens. I would prefer a larger sensor but I do not want to limit my selection of lens and that make my choice very difficult. Maybe I should just get myself a proven LX series and wait out until Sony, Samsung, Fujifilm, Canon and Pentax come out with more mirrorless lens.
