To Santa Epson – R-D2 – just for fun

[Sam N]

Whoever makes it, it should have:
Longer RF baselength
5D or D3 full-frame sensor
Anti-dust system
DNG RAW files straight from the camera
A price lower than $3000

And a nice big buffer for writing the files whie still shooting...

I'd like a larger sensor, custom white balance, ISO 100 and a standard raw format (maybe the adobe version).

I would like a larger sensor, and the ability to use more of what the lens is seeing. The color distortions that the larger sensor might bring out with wide-angle lenses would have me wanting for a larger pixel count. The longer base length would be nice also, as would a larger buffer. Mine has filled its craw once or twice while shooting action. A diopter adjustment on the eye piece would be welcomed (my $10 FED has one, why can't my $$$ RD1 have one too?).

Most of all, I want a proper service network. If my Honda develops a problem, then I take it over to the dealership to be repaired with the full faith and backing of the Honda Corp. The camera should be the same. Epson screwed up in treating this machine like it was one of their printers.

But most of all Santa; I would like for goodness and the peace that passes understanding to find us one and all, and for all of our surprises to be happy ones.

there's been some rumors of a D3-styled sensor making it's way to a rangefinder with an M mount, and yes, nikon is behind it... maybe some day...

Full size sensor at that price it is IMHO a little too much to ask.

And for the DNG, please compress it. Not like the Leica.
