I Blame You!!

[grizzlyadam]

Ok so I am throwing the word blame around but I am not upset. Nope, in fact I understand why.
Does anyone else think there is no inexpensive entry level Digi-RF because we are all a bit too picky? I mean who here would accept the guts of a P&S 6 megapixel that was slapped into a Yashica GSN (don't get me wrong I love my GSN)?
Unfortunately I think we are going to have to start accepting that things are made of plastic now, unless you go high end.
Oh who am I kidding I want something made from metal, and smaller than a loaf of bread, and I want it to use a lens that is a solid standard, ie leica M series lenses, and be around $500-800 USD. Now if it has to be made of plastic, OK, but make the lense glass. Also manual focus? Oh man I just lost like 90% of people who would buy it. It is too bad people don't realize that AF cameras are slower and less accurate than a semi-skilled huiman.
AHHHHH sorry random ranting from someone upset there is no entry level digital RF out there. I guess a rebel XTi is my future.
apologies to anyone who read through this

Once upon a time, in a time long forgotten, there lived a mythical beast called a "digital slr". This cumbersome monster was way out of the price-bracket for most people.

Want something small, made of metal, and uses Leica M lenses? How about a... Leica... M3? Something a bit newer? A Voigtlander R2M?

you give me hope. I think my next big investment in the RF world will be digital. if that doesn't come I suppose an SLR will get my money. It probably won't be a leica because I am guessing they are always going to be a bit out of my pricerange, but one can hope.
Maybe if I wrote a strongly worded letter to some of the camera makers? I am sure if I let them know my feelings they would understand and come through for me. 😛 for now a yashica and soon to be in my possesion FED will have to do.
