Just a simple, basic, manual focus digital camera with a full frame sensor (or as Sonny mentioned 36x36) a shutter, some kind of exposure metering and some way of getting aperture information to the electronics. Then top it off with something like that ZigView thing as a monitor you can mount on its hot shoe. Get rid of all the bells and whistles and get it right down to bare essentials - like Cosina did with the Bessa-L. Make it a "lens with a camera on the back of it" concept, not a high-tech, fully-everything body for lenses Build it with a register that lets it take almost any brand of lens you can imagine and offer it with a range of (interchangeable?) mounts. Just the thing for people with Canon FD, Minolta, Nikon, Contax/Yashica, Pentax-K, M42, Olympus, Leica R and whatever other lenses you happen to have lying around. I would buy one like a shot. <<< I would too. Doug Herr Birdman of Sacramento http://www.wildlightphoto.com
