The A-Mount was first developed by Minolta to be used in their new autofocus camera system (known as Alpha, Dynax or Maxxum across the world). It replaced the manual focus MD Mount in 1985 and it has a flange focal distance of 44.5mm. It soon became the first commercially successful autofocus SLR system. Over the years Minolta produced varieties of film SLRs and more than 16 million lenses which are still being widely used by the A-mount photographers.
In 2003, the financial state of Minolta was not good and it had to merge with Konica to form Konica Minolta (KM). KM released the first A-mount DSLR, namely the KM7D. But the merger did not turn out to be a financial success and in 2006 photography division of KM was sold to Sony. Today Sony continues the A-mount with their Alpha System DSLR/Ts.
All accessories produced by Minolta, KM and Sony in A-mount are compatible with each other.

The E-mount is a new lens mount developed by Sony and introduced into the market in 2010. It has a flange focal distance of only 18mm and was designed by Sony for their APS-C sensor sized NEX series of mirrorless cameras and camcorders first.
In 2013 Sony expanded the E-mount system to full-frame sensor sized models. NEX-VG900 camcorder was the first full-frame E-mount product and in October 2013 a7/a7R were announced as first E-mount full-frame cameras.

Sony has two different interchangeable lens mounts, all cameras using one of these mounts are called Alpha.

A-mount, the one introduced by Minolta with their first auto focus film cameras

E-mount, the new mount, introduced for the NEX and now also implemented in the Full Frame a7 series.

Key aspects of the E-mount are:
- full electronic, no more screw driver lenses, all AF lenses need AF motors
- much (~2,5 cm) shorter registration distance vs. A-mount
- no mirror behind it, you preview the image directly from the sensor in an Electronic viewfinder.

Sony makes 2 kinds of adapters to mount A-mount lenses on E-mount. The LA-EA1 (APS-C) and LA-EA3 (FF) which will AF with SSM lenses very slowly and need MF for screw driver lenses. They are basically empty tubes that pass on the signals for the exif information and, depending if a SSM lens is mounted, the SSM focussing signal. They also have a lever that closes the aperture to the set value on the body. The LA-EA2 (APS-C) and LA-EA4 (FF) have a translucent mirror like the SLT and a screwdriver focus motor, so you can use all A-mount glass with full AF and automatic aperture.

Key differences between A- and E-mount cameras are
- A-mount uses Phase Detect AF (PDAF), E-mount Contrast Detect AF (CDAF). PDAF is quicker.
- Only 1 E-mount camera has built in stabilization, the newest Full Frame a7II has it.
- All others E-mount cameras depend on lens OSS (or none, depending on the lens)
- All A-mount cameras (today) have a mirror. A translucent/static one or a real/moving one. E-mount cameras have no mirrors.

Numbering system:
A followed by 1 digit : Full frame E-mount cameras, relatively small bodies
A followed by 2 digits : DSLT's with a translucent mirror (full frame and APS-C), classical SLR style body
A followed by 3 digits : DSLR's with a moving mirror (full frame and APS-C), classical SLR style body
A followed by 4 digits : APS-C E-mount cameras (formerly called NEX), small, P&S size bodies

Only the Axxx cameras (DSLR's) have an Optical Viewfinder (OVF), all other cameras use Electronic Viewfinders (EVF)

Official Sony acronyms:
ILCE: interchangeable lens camera E-mount
ILCA: interchangeable lens camera A-mount


Due to the very short registration distance of E-mount you can buy many, many 3rd party adapters to mount almost any lens on those camera's. More information on that can be found here

Would it be possible to enrich the description of each camera with a field about how many cardslots each body has. In case it supports both CF and SD the answer is obvious, but in other cases it is not.

How about the idea to add the appropriate statistic graph to the detail page of each camera in our camera database?

I assume we should include an acknowledgement to the owner of the database and encourage dyxum members to add their data to the database.

Here is some data for A-mount lenses. They are mostly arranged by model number but I have tried to group OVF and EVF and FF cameras separately, and I have included a very few E-mount purely for comparison purposes. Data sourced from Dyxum and from M. Hohner, lens comp data from Sony website. Note that older cameras need to have updated firmware to provide lens comp with newer lenses. Any mistakes are probably mine or Sony's. . Let me know and I'll correct them. All the A-mount cameras have IBIS so I didn't bother with a column for that.

Sorry for the abbreviations, but the full words upset the table. Originally posted on Body Upgrade thread

Hi. Couldn't find a good place to post this question ... move as deemed necessary.

I was looking at the main camera index page (linked in top nav bar on Dyxum home page) and noticed that many of the cameras do not reflect the correct status of current / discontinued. Any chance of getting that updated?
A7RIII, A7II, A6500, A77II, Lens ... too many to list. :-)

Maybe send them a list with links?

A few months ago I went through all the Sigma, Tamron, and Tokina A-mount lenses, which are mostly all discontinued now and sent a list with links to the manufacturers' pages.

For Sony cameras and lenses it varies by region. The only ones I see marked current in the database that aren't current on Sony.com are the original A99 and the A5000. The A7C hasn't been added yet.

The A5000 and A99 are still on the Sony.nl site as current.

Interesting. They still list the A3000, A58, and QX1 too.

https://www.sony.jp/ichigan/lineup/

Doesn't list those nor the A7R, A6500, A6300, A5100, and A5000.

Hmmm. Sounds very confusing. I recently picked up a used A99 and happened to notice that it was still listed here as 'Current' and I'm pretty sure you can't buy a new one anymore. It was introduced in 2012. There's an A99II now ...

Didn't mean to shake the tree. Also didn't know it was so complicated. :-}

Just went to the Sony USA site and they list the following cameras:

A-Mount
A68, A77II, A99II

E-Mount
A5100, A6000, A6100, A6300, A6400, A6500, A6600
A7, A7S, A7R, A7II, A7SII, A7RII, A7III, A7SIII, A7RIII, A7RIV
A9, A9II, A7C

Yet when you go to B&H Photo for example, the A68 is discontinued, as are A7, A7S, A7R, etc... weird.

It seems to be while they still have stock somewhere in the region, they continue to list the product in that region. They may have not manufactured A-mount gear in years. Their Japanese website listed the DT 16-105 as discontinued quite some time ago, but it is still listed on sony.com. The A68 wasn't even released in Japan.

The Sony 70-300 SSM II is still missing from the main listing on sony.com. The previous version is still available from many dealers.
