Did you ever like the A580, last of the OVF, its probably the last of the Minolta legacy. Apparently people are looking for them, My first Sony DSLR was an A550, quite a nice camera, I wish now I had kept it instead of moving to SLT. Did Sony use Minolta staff as design consultants.
Canon have the bigger market with entry level and mid range DSLR's globally, Nikon very close behind. I think both will continue to market DSLR's but I suspect the choice will be very much reduced, its where they see the best sales potential for a particular model.
Canon seem to have lost interest into the M size cameras, Yet we all thought that was the way to go, it seems they thought so as well, small, light easy to use, I just cannot see people investing in these new Canon's, very expensive corresponds to a small market base. They are not for the masses.
I agree about the Sony E mount, really quite awful ergonomics compared to the A mounts
Thanks for the review recommendations
