Isn't there, or wasn't there a Fuji X Family camera that sounded like this?

BTW, no unnecessary buttons sounds like a nice way to say  paged menus,
which I think, is highly complicated.....

So Mr. Leica or Mr. Fuji, how much did it cost to develop the M(240) or
XT-1?  You think they want more?

I am always amazed at ways people ask for funding of their "company".
Or is that Lifestyle?

On a more positive note... the sensor is made by the same company that Leica
sourced their M(240) sensor from:
At the heart of the Konost Camera is a 20.0mp 35mm Full Frame CMOS image
sensor from CMOSIS

The prototype PCB looks a bit like the parts from a Leica M9

The body is about the shape of the Leica T

This looks very interesting.
M lens mount.
No unnecessary buttons.
I really like the all digital rangefinder concept - no mirror, no
calibration worries.
