>>3888174So you want to create an inccredibly niche product that won't benefit from economies of scale and has less functionality? I mean, leica already did this, and no-one bought it, so they discontinued it a couple years later, you can grab a 2nd hand one for about $5000
If that's too expensive for you, than you now understand why no-one makes retarded niche products.
Screens, buttons, processors, etc are all dirt cheap compared to the cost of sensors and optical glass, even if you did manage to create something that was like a super simplified A7iii that sold in equal quantitites, the cost savings by not including a screen and other gubbins would maybe be $100.
No-one wants to save 5% by buying an ultra-gimped version of a product.
