Lately I've been pondering what I really need in a FF Body...though most of the time DX is all I need....:think:
1. Full Frame sensor in a mostly metal body with a Kodak sensor without filters of any kind (similier to the leica M9) or, I would be just as happy with the Fuji type sensor found in the S3/S5 pro bodies..Its funny how the folks who make film still know how to pick or make a good sensor!
2. Simple controls and no movie capability (Keeps the price down).
3. Dual memory card capability (SD would be fine) along with full size usb port so one can directly down load to a memory stick of some kind etc.
4. Removable pentaprism...(remember waistlevel finders for the older film Nikons? )
5. User replaceable screen so that we can easily put in split screen etc for our manual focus lenses etc....For that matter I could dispense altogether with autofocus but others will disagree.
6. Dual shutter release (portrait/landscape)...Shutter release should accept old style manual cable release!....Dual tripod mounts (bottom and side)
7. Use rechargeable AA batteries...and include two sets of battery trays with initial purchase...also the body should include a DC port to allow an external power source ...i.e. AC adapter etc.
8. Super clean ISO from 50 - 6400!
9. The body shell of the D3/s/x works for me.
10. 5 frames per second is fast enough for me.
I figure sometimes the engineers that make cameras read these forums so feel free to put in your dream body. (camera that is. Ha HA :bsmilie
Cheers
