Sony ILCE camera
In August 2013, Sony announced[1] the first model of the ILCE mirrorless camera with E-mount, electronic viewfinder, contrast-detection autofocus and Multi Interface Shoe, the ILCE-3000. In October 2013, two full-frame E-mount cameras were announced, the ILCE-7 and ILCE-7R.
The "ILCE" designation stands for Interchangeable Lens Camera with E-mount, replacing the "NEX" designation used for former E-mount cameras. As "ILCA", this naming convention will also be applied to future A-mount cameras, thereby replacing the former "DSLR" and "SLT" names.[2]
