Not A Poll: What Camera Will You Buy In The Next 12 Months?

[NickTrop]

None. Not a thing. I'm perfectly happy with my current line-up. I'm through chasing gear around. It's stupid, frankly. There are certainly cameras I would like to own - always will be. And that's the point. You can focus your energy on lusting after and/or acquiring gear or improving as a photographer. I decided to give the former, rather than the latter a try. Nikon D5000 with a fast 50 equiv. Fuji Finepix F20 point and shoot for light travel. Fujica Compact Deluxe is my film RF. I have a Cosina/Vivitar SLR mostly equipped with a 19mm lens or a J9 for portraits. That's it, and that's all the gear I'll ever need.

X100

or

35mm framelined M-body

or

wartime Leica IIIc

or

Tower barnack with lever and M3 style backdoor

Whichever I run into first while cash = in pocket

You nailed it. 😀

 

[Ezzie]

X100. And if as good as I hope I will get rid of a few CV lenses. Add a lens or two for my Kowa. Add a 150 LF lens. Build a 4x5 field camera (with movements this time)

If it really turns out to be a digital Hexar, then it'll be the X100.

Gf670w

Gf670w

I've got a GF-1 with EVF and that's good enough for me not to want to switch to the X100. Don't really like digital anyway, but it has its uses.

What I AM interested in though is also Fuji - the GF670W announced at the beginning of Photokina. I was thinking of trading my Rolleiflex to get a Bessa III after having had the chance to use one for a while, but how neat would it be to keep the Rolleiflex with 80mm Planar lens and get the GF670W with the 55mm Fuji lens!

 

[Darshan]

Hopefully nothing.








These MF shooters are killing me. :bang::bang::bang::bang:

 

[CK Dexter Haven]

• Contax T2 or a small, mirrorless APS-C like the NEX5
• Yashica Electro

[Edit:] Changed my mind already!
• Contax T2 or a small, mirrorless APS-C like the NEX5
• Fuji GA645.

 

[jamais]

1) Bronica GS-1
2) If its dynamic range and AF are sufficient and ergonomics are also fine: Fujifilm X100. Otherwise: Bessa R2A.

Need to sell a lot of my current equipment (Bronica ETR/SQ and Norita stuff) to raise the funds though.

 

[jsrockit]

The Fuji X100 is the only thing that interests as of today... not sure how that will change over the next year.

 

[maddoc]

Nikon S2 and maybe a compact P&S (Ricoh GR1, Contax T2) ... and still tempted to try a 4x5 of some kind ... Also I will bring my FM and F3HP to Japan if possible so I will have enough 35mm cameras accumulated ... 😱

 

[sevo]

None, unless I stumble across some unusual bargain.

 

[Pirate]

Hasselblad SWC, and my buddy is selling me his Linhof 4x5 set-up, complete 😀

 

[hipsterdufus]

I'd like to replace my Bessa R2 with a Leica M5 at some point (I really need to have a meter in-camera). I just want to experience what it feels like to own a genuine Leica at some point.

 

[atlcruiser]

Tough to really say....

I need to sell the M4-P and get another M6.

The new MF fuji RF looks great but I wont have money for it anytime soon!

21/2.8 elmart

35/3.5 AF mamiya

Looking for a GW690 and maybe a Mamiya 6 or 7 kit

I drank the MF kool aid 🙂

 

[Matus]

As I recently sold R3A and a Rolleiflex T and got a Mamiya 6 with 3 lenses and a Fuji Silvi f2.8 (small 35mm P&S with 25-50 lens) I do not plan to buy a camera any soon. I may at some point sell my old Minolta 7D and replace it with SOME digital and probably mirror-less camera, but that is not sure. The new Fuji X100 may turn to be a nice camera. If Fuji would introduce a zoom model it could replace the Silvi (which does a very good job, BTW).

Though not a camera (but in that price range) I plan to get a Metered Light Spot Meter - mainly for my 4x5 setup (and occasionally the Mamiya).

 

[v_roma]

Was planning on none until Fuji announced the X100. If the performance is as good as everything else I've read about the camera so far, I'm definitely getting one.

 

[user237428934]

If they make it right I would like to have a X100.
Would like to use a medium format film camera sometime. Perhaps next year it's right.

 

[Roberto V.]

M2 or M6, and some lenses (probably C-Sonnar 50/1.5, C-Biogon 35/2.8 and nokton 35/1.2, maybe a 21 if the money flows well next year) I also plan to buy a 1928-31 Ford model A so if there's still money after that, I'll get a new digital camera, either X-100, 7D or pentax K-5/K-r.
