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.
