Another, more interesting interview

We were a little confused by the "4D" naming, given that it's been associated with a range of models, both mirrored and mirrorless in the past. Mr. Kondo explained that it was a branding that they applied to their highest-performing AF systems. So it isn't a specific technology, but is used to indicate the pinnacle of AF performance.

Marketing, still do not understand why we don't have 6D and 8D systems.

Maki responded that they'd obviously be very happy if professional photographers gravitated towards the A99 II. However, he made it clear that the primary goal of the A99 Mark II isn't to attract new photographers from other mounts and systems, but instead.

Whole point of release was to make high margin product for people with lot of A mount glass.

Maki noted that the process of creating and manufacturing a custom LSI is now much faster, and that advancements in the process technology have allowed capabilities which wouldn't have been possible a few years back. In discussing this, he made an analogy to computer CPUs, noting that these are much faster and more affordable now than they were five years ago. Essentially, the same process is also at play in development of their LSI.

We asked if we might see this front-end LSI dual processor setup in future cameras, even in mirrorless perhaps, and Maki responded that, like any manufacturer, Sony is quite understandably unable to discuss future products, even in relatively loose terms. However, he did indicate that we'd likely see the LSI in future cameras, including mirrorless models.

What exactly is "front-end dual LSI setup"? Actually it is big downside of Sony design that you need second LSI for interface and such, and main LSI can not do it. It was same in many cameras.

Next is full bullshit on how it is easy to make LSI while actually it is much more costly now. This is why we have only few companies who design their own LSI.
