Marques Brownlee is right: It’s time for Sony to use Android (or iOS) on their cameras!

If you watch the video from minute 5:10 Marques explains why mirrorless camera manufacturers should finally adopt Android (or iOS). It’s the only way to close the gab between connectivity/usability and image quality. I also think it would create a huge interest on Sony cameras. Imagine:

It’s a device that is able to rival on equal terms with the Sony model and, additionally, in many categories it prevails. Mind you, its price is two times lower than the price of the Sony. You have to admit in such a situation it would be difficult not to recommend the new Samyang.
