In XatakaFoto we look in the mirror of discord and face two opinions that pretend to see the debate from different points of view in a debate that I begin and end my friend Javi Prieto .

Let’s start with the phrases in question in the interview to be warming up: ” Canon does not need a system without a mirror because he has no problems selling its products “and” The camera system without a mirror has been introduced by manufacturers that have trouble competing in the DSLR market “

I have to answer to my colleague Miguel Angel Ordoñez regarding their views on the controversial statements of Canon on the market for hybrid cameras . Knowing that it is a thorny issue, I hope to treat it with enough finesse.

Begin at the end: Canon is now in a compromising position in this new market, which has come too late for looking too much from the sidelines. Create a new system is expensive and complicated, and do not count on any advantage they gave the key to the digital SLR market: reaching the right time , and have a system already established and supported.

When we speak of the market seem to forget that Canon is Japanese , and (using the same ranking that linked my partner) in this market is very clear that progress hybrid cameras have been at the top.

At that same point data link is concrete evidence to support this theory, like Sony went from a 6.1% market share in May (just before removing its range NEX ) to 19.4% in December. Later this year, thanks to its reflex mirror translucent , had reached 21.2%, on the heels of Nikon. Can we doubt even the selling power of new technologies compared to traditional mirrors?

Compact, uncluttered design yet elegant and easy to use. These could be the distinguishing features of the Canon DR-2020U, the new scanner could go home to Japan’s market over the last quarter of this year.

However, the range of output resolutions range from 150 x 150 to ratios higher than 600 x 600 dots per inch.
