Well I think a 24x36 pocket camera would cost a lot more than a 1.5 cropped
format camera;
And certainly the 2x cropped format cameras they are foisting upon us.

The Rollei 35 was a life support system for a 35mm film cartridge.
What would a life support system for a 24x36 sensor look like?
A lot bigger really?
Or maybe it would really just be the same size.
