I would buy one like that too. I have kept out an eye over the years, there 
is nothing any where near like this yet, sadly.
If you think about it the only expensive bit on the Contax T is the lens, on 
suchb a camera the electronics and large sensor add to the production cost. 
Maybe no manufacturer will believe they could ever sell such a camera at a 
profit.
