Wide open question... but keep it sensible. Film or digital, doesn`t matter. But include what the camera would be like and the reason why you`d love to have it.

I have two... one is simple. I`d like an Olympus XA in digital form. Exact camera (as much as this is possible). Basically a pocket-able digital rangefinder camera.

Another is a Ricoh GR (or Fujifilm XF10) with a 45-50mm lens. I want a true pocketable camera with a large sensor, a 45-50mm lens, and fast autofocus.

All of my other gear is great... but I want that true pòcket camera that fits exactly what I like. Something about pocket cameras does it for me and I`m ready for a 45-50mm option that works well in low light.

PS: I mean cameras that have never been made...that are not available to buy anywhere.
 
I want a Plaubel Makina 67. And preferably a W67 to go with it.

The 6x7 format is my jam. I shoot a Horseman Convertible 842 (which I love dearly) and which is very portable. But to have an 80mm 2.8 lens on a portable camera to go along with that, that would be awesome...
 
I always wanted a Nikon SP

But then again I always wanted a mid 1950s Gretsch Duo Jet guitar.

These things are very much possible for me to physically acquire , but I rather leave them to the realms of dreams and wishes, as it is better that way.
 
Sorry guys, I meant cameras that have never been made... but you would like someone to make. Let`s not get into pricing.
 
I would love a digital SP with M mount around 2000 bucks.



There are nikon S to Leica M mount converters, so you could still use old nikon glass while having an absolute raft of leica m mount lenses to use, as well.
 
I would like a Leica M3 in black paint without a self timer.

I would like a Leica I with black knobs and black lens instead of nickel. (all the nickel parts in black paint in fact)

OK.
Leica Monochrome economy version. EOS like plastic body, limited interface, limited resolution, limited framelines. No ports. First generation Sony A7 sensor with removed what-ether to make it Monochrome. And made by same factory where Leica makes batteries in China. Or at KMZ in Krasnogorsk. To keep it at minimum price. :p
 
Not a specific camera, but any digital with Canon's old DEP mode. Not the useless A-DEP. Because sometimes you want more control over DoF and you don't want to do it by trial and error or use a tape measure and a DoF app on your phone.

An Olympus OM-1 in digital that uses the old OM lenses, but not with an adapter if it is mirrorless. And if mirrorless, then focus peaking like a Sony (which I think is better than Oly's peaking).
 
I love this thread. :D

1. Panoramic camera, 1" sensor stretched out to 2.40:1 aspect ratio.

2. Square sensor camera, full frame image circle, tilting LCD screen with a waist-level folding hood, short flange distance.

3. A Micro 4/3 technical camera like an Alpa.

4. Something like the Zeiss ZX1 with an APS-C sensor, $1300.

5. A vertical grip for the Panasonic GX9. Just the grip!

6. A 1" sensor vlogging camera that doesn't suck.

7. A perfect Leica M10:

8. As always, a long base length Voigtländer Bessa:

I would love a digital rangefinder like the Leica M10 with an articulated screen like a Canon G11.

I would love a digital SLR built like a Nikon F2 titanium 35mm film camera but with an articulated screen like a Canon G11.
 
Which camera do you want that isn`t currently made?

A flexible, scratch and dust resistant digital sensor with storage that can be swapped with film pressure plate in any 35mm film camera.
