It seems to the average western consumer a mirrorless is a step up from what they get with their Smartphone but they don't find it necessary to take that step they are more conserved with getting the pix out of their phones onto their facebook or Instasgram or other social network galleries than hanging a show on the wall of a gallery with exposed brick behind them. We have to be careful when we say "mirrorless" now as they seem to come in two distinct form factors. The original flat ones which could also emulate compact rangefinder cameras. And ones which look like DSLR'S which are lightweight but too chunky to be called flat. The articles states Asian ladies like the mirrorless as they are light into to put in their purse. Western ladies don't see that? The bottom line from all I can see is how to get the publics smart phones out of their cold dead hands to take a picture or do anything with anything else. One step up is not enough over here it seems it seems we need to go two steps up and make it a camera which really shoots a quality pictures IE having a sensor at least 1.5x crop. http://www.businessinsider.com/mirrorless-camera-sales-disappoint-2013-12 On 2/22/14 5:17 PM, "Geoff Hopkinson" <hopsternew at gmail.com> wrote: > It would be interesting to know how well each individual areas is doing for > Fujifilm.
