Micro-camera

A new type of word, this word is specifically created for the Chinese market. The micro-single has two meanings: micro, micro, small, single, single-lens camera, that is to say the word is that this camera has a small size and SLR general quality. That is, a miniature, compact camera with a single-lens reflex function is called a micro-camera.

Ordinary card digital cameras are very fashionable, but subject to aperture and lens size, there are always some beautiful scenery that cannot be taken; professional SLR cameras are too bulky. Just as there was a netbook between a laptop and a smart phone, between the card-type digital camera and the SLR camera, there was now a middleware that took advantage of both. Sony called it "micro-single," with a card. The compact body of a digital camera can be interchanged like a SLR camera and offers the same image quality as an SLR camera.

Before Sony introduced the micro-camera, consumer electronics giants such as Olympus, Panasonic, and Samsung have introduced related products. Different from Sony's name “micro-single”, Olympus, Panasonic, Samsung, etc. call this type of camera “single-power”. Although there is a difference in the name, Sony’s personal audio and video division’s director Yoshiro Akira’s representative said that “micro-single” is a name that is specifically determined for the Chinese market and can cover both micro and SLR: the camera is small, compact, portable, and Replace the lens like an SLR camera and provide the same image quality as an SLR camera. Since many manufacturers have successively targeted this market, the industry is also known in the industry as the first year of single-camera development.
