If there is one camera company that is investing in the mirrorless movement at 110% capacity, it is Sony. Just this month, the company announced two new mirrorless cameras, the NEX-5T and the A3000, and two new lenses, the 16-70mm f/4 Zeiss and 18-105mm f/4 G PZ. Though still very much a rumour, this announcement will most likely be followed up by the much-anticipated confirmation of the Sony Full Frame NEX in the coming weeks. (We certainly can’t say that the good folk at Sony have been spending 2013 twiddling their thumbs, now, can we? :-))
