This (Micro Four Thirds) could be it. If they > have the smarts to build the "Godfrey Cam" it would be brilliant. I find the whole "full frame" fanaticism thing such overbloated, overhyped, overmarketed nonsense it nauseates me. I want a fine quality camera, as small and as light as possible (but not too small and light to be sensibly handle-able) that produces the quality I need with responsiveness, sensitivity, practical features and a sensibly complete line of top quality lenses (I don't need focal length coverage for every extreme known to photography, nor do I need to record black cats in unlit coal mines on any regular basis without being able to truck in some lights and a generator..). I know what I put in my brief is feasible with existing technology available now, and at a not astronomical price point. I hope they do it right. If they do, my daily camera baggage will become much lighter. :-) Godfrey -- PDML Pentax-Discuss Mail List [email protected] http://pdml.net/mailman/listinfo/pdml_pdml.net to UNSUBSCRIBE from the PDML, please visit the link directly above and follow the directions.
