This week on The PetaPixel Podcast, the team is joined by retired Sony Imaging executive Mark Weir who reflects on the evolution of cameras over the last two decades and, perhaps more importantly, how photographers have changed in that time, too.

In this episode, he talks about how Sony Japan fielded input from its users, looks back at how Sony chose to leave the mirror behind, the choice to make E-mount an open standard, and where he thinks the industry is going next.
