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

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
 
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)
 
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!
 
• 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.

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

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 :)
 
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).
 
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.
 
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.
 
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.
