18-year-old builds digital rangefinder by combining Konica Auto S3 and Sony NEX-5

Unbelievable. As the owner of the similar Hi-Matics and Fuji X100 I wonder why don't we get a simple digital rangefinder like this from the big manufacturers?

How hard can it be?


Now imagine people putting them on shelf because "pictures most of times are blurry". For masses manual focus is about as tricky as manual speed shifting.

Because the average consumers don't even want to carry a camera anymore....its all about their dumb ass phones. And, the demo we are in is too small for the big guys to care about. I mean Nikon with the Dx barely has any manual focus focus lol. And that camera was/is marketed based on its use of all Nikon lenses including non-AI....

If anyone could build this camera it could be CV since the Epson RD's are still so popular.
