Sigma released a new full-frame mirrorless camera

[pierces]

Very small. Smaller than the Sony A7. A little bigger than the Sony RX1 but with an interchangeable lens mount (Panazonic/Leica L mount).

 

24MP traditional Bayer sensor (not three-layer Foveon like other Sigma cameras) with contrast-detect focusing. No sensor stabilization mentioned. Video up to 4K/24p. No mechanical shutter.

 

It has an optional larger handgrip, bolt-on EVF and bolt-on hotshoe which moves it into the A7/A9 range, size-wise. I'm not sure what niche this will fall into. Maybe cinema-centric users since the sensor is heat-sinked?

Interesting times!

Looks like camera manufacturers are bringing more mirrorless cameras into the market.
