Jared Polin ( a user of Canon, Nikon, Sony,) thanks Sony for making our present fullframe mirrorless world possible.

From Jared Polin, "Thank You SONY, You Made ALL OF THIS Possible!" Ten years ago Sony with the first EVER fullframe mirrorless camera, changed the photo world forever.

Jared Polin Quote: " Look, the Photo Community owes a debt of gratitude to Sony for dragging the old guard, kicking and screaming, into the mirrorless world. If it wasn't for them (Sony) there is no telling how far behind camera tech might be. "

Well said Jared, Cheers

So this made me look it up. Thank you!
Conflicting information also says that Epson DR-1 in 2004, Leica's M8 in 2006, and Panasonic's DMC-G1 in 2008.
Sony is being credited for bringing out the 1st commercially marketed full frame mirrorless in 2010--the NEX Series.
So, Jared also says that Sony '....dragged' the other manufacturers into the ...'mirrorless' world.
Yes, Sony was the 1st FF. But not the first mirrorless.
Parsing his words here; but give credit to those who actually did bring mirrorless to the table.

Yes, but it’s a rangefinder.

FWIW- The NEX series is APS-C. I think that the A series was the full frame entry. No question, however, Sony made a major contribution to mirrorless photography.

Ok. But so what?
We are talking about technology. Mirrorless was commercialized by Sony..not invented.
Kudos to Sony for bringing affordable mirrorless to the masses and the beginning of DSLR and it's evolution to what we have today.

It's not mirrorless (but you would argue that it has no mirror). But one thing for sure it's not full frame.

First FF with an onboard EVF. Not the first FF mirrorless. And if you want to mention the NEX series let's not forget Fuji with mirrorless EVF cameras in APS format before the Sony FF mirrorless.

True enough...Sony was smart enough to see all of the innovation over at Minolta...they saw an opportunity and ran with it.

Most of the cameras I've used over the past 50 years have been mirrorless -- I've always preferred them.
