I really like the advantages of mirrorless having such a short FFD, but god damn, do they have to be so fucking small?
I want a good size camera that only has:
•Stabilized 4x5 sensor
•Mirrorless
•Has the shortest possible FFD
•Optical viewfinder (similar to disposable cameras or Canon G12)
•Rangefinder
•LCD
•3 card slots
•2 battery slots
•Full weatherization
•Only shoots RAW
•Hot shoe
•4 dials (ISO, Exp, F-stop, & WB) stacked above each other
•Fully manual (no auto modes)
•No plastic (fully magnesium alloy or titanium).
•User replaceable weather seals.
•User serviceable parts (like taking apart/putting together a LEGO set)
•Set of adapter tubes for all major camera mounts that screw onto the camera body.
•An IR receiver on each side of the camera for remote use.
•Wifi & blutooth that can connect to any type of device that has either, including a network.
•Mic jack, but no built-in microphone and no speaker.
•Ability to charge via the USB or wall adapter.
•LED charging light
•Landscape & Portrait grips with tripod mounts and should strap mounts for both orientations.
I don't give a shit about any auto modes or processing bells and whistles. The menu can literally just be for setting what amount of sensor crop you want for what lens you are using, turning on/off wireless & LCD, focus peaking, card formatting/file/ management, photo preview/photo exif info preview & settings, etc. The only buttons would be the shutter release and a D-pad with a select/menu button in the center. I don't even want a delete button. The D-pad can focus peak until you press the center menu button then it navigates around the bare bones menu. I don't care how ugly it is and there doesn't need to be any lenses made for it specifically; it'd use every other manufacturer's existing lenses just by changing the mount.
