My digital camera has a viewfinder heads up display in the right lens of my eyeglasses. The lens/storage module is about the same size and weight as an M Leica with no protruding lens, and needs no shade. The aperture opens to an f1. The shutter, a liquid crystal, operates up to 1/5000th of a second, with firmware upgrades to 1/10000th. ISO range is from 25 to 1600. All images are delivered raw from a single 8 mp sensor to dual, alternating processors that feed the files to a pair of solid state 2 gig cards. The camera has image stabilization. The viewfinder module is wirelessly linked to the camera body. Remote trigger is available for self portraits and the like. The body is available in a variety of metal skins and exotic leathers. ;-) The red dot is positioned on the right temple of the eyeglasses. Battery life is up to 1000 shots, and a small alcohol powered genset in the module can recharge the batteries while it is being stacked with other modules on a sushi restaurant table.
