This is a very good question. Afterall is is discuntinued. So why bother at all - unless there's an economical beniefit to doing so? What made it great was the basic simplicity, low cost and durability. Manual cameras had the advantage of great versatility as well as simplicity - at the same time.

I guess a digital body with very few features would do the trick: AF (manual override) - one focus point AE (manual override), center weight metering only +/- correction directly in the viewfinder (wheel) RAW/JPEG's at the same time - only. ISO: 100-800 Self timer RTF flash Most important: A price tag around 300 USD.

I guess they probably couldn't yet make it cheap enough to sell in that market. S
