Look forward to the announcement it sounds like the sort of camera I would like, although I expect it will beyond my budget.
My dream is a simple good quality body taking Nikkor F lenses with a standard 24 X 37 mm sensor (FX). I just want to take photographs, not engage in a technical battle with the tools. The current trend with the DSLR's of today seems to be to packing ever more 'features' into the menues.
From that point of view I mourn the passing of film, what I love is the flexibility and immediacy of digital and the opportunity it presents for storage, processing and sharing.
A good simple body would be great!
I agree........but we may have to settle for a camera.
Seriously....you are right. When I had the EOS1 (film) I also bought the 620 EF-M and the RT. The latter had a pellicle mirror, a 45deg fixed mirror, that enabled you to see the subject during exposure...and of course it was quiet and instant, with no mirror movement. I am surprised the modern EVF cameras didn't adapt this idea....it's only drawback was reduced viewfinder illumination and slight under exposure ....due to exposure being through the pellicle mirror.
But the EFM was M for manual. The whole camera was a stripped down eos model requiring the user to take control without all the auto this and that.
I had great fun with both models. But in truth, sometimes the extra ATD that the M model required DID prevent getting some shots.
Maybe it's my style of photography, or laziness, but I tended to use the body that gave me Av exposure. It just took something out of the equation.
Similarly, I find with the Fuji ( which I think you would enjoy using by the way) I still let the electronics nail down Av ....despite having full manual readily available.
