Which camera do you want that isn`t currently made?

An updated Epson RD1, using the same old CCD sensor but in full frame.

Also a truely pocketable fixed lens camera (that will easily fit into the front pocket of a pair of slim fit jeans). Perhaps using a micro four thirds sensor to achieve it.
 
My desires for "a camera which has not yet been made" are modest: A Leica CL with a socket for a remote release, and the remote release, would do nicely. I already have the CL, the only thing it's missing is a wired remote release capability. Using a WiFi app as a remote release just isn't the same thing at all. :angel:

A Hasselblad SWC with a somewhat wider lens, say about 32mm, with a horizontal angle of view equal to the 21mm on 135 format. and a special film back with 2:1 aspect ratio, 27 x 54mm.

Maybe better yet, a 32mm lens that will cover that format using the 500CM.
 
I want a full frame 6x6 TLR. Hybrid viewfinder with the standard TLR mirror but also a projected set of data and focus peaking. This data needs to able to have its brightness adjusted as well as turned off. The viewfinder could have a little shutter built in behind the viewing lens and that would also be screen for image review/menu etc.
Interchangeable lenses not needed. This will decrease dust on the huge sensor for which there will be a built-in cleaning function. We can get by with a wide angle version, normal and tele.
I would sell my beloved car in a heartbeat in order to fund such a camera.

I want small size, simplicity, excellent image quality and the availability of superb optics. I want something akin to the Leica M10 but autofocus...yet cheap enough for a mere mortal to afford. APS-C or larger format. Closest I've come are the Fuji XPros.
 
I would love a Nikon Z7 that is actually compatible with Nikon AIS and D mount lenses, not the bogus claim by Nikon that it is.
A freakin Nikon D7000 from 2010 works better with those lenses than the 2019 latest and greatest Z7.
 
I would love a Nikon DF - the DF2 - that has better build than the current plasticky one, has a real focusing screen that works with manual lenses (take it from the F6), has decent autofocus when needed (take that from the D750 or D850), has the D850 sensor, does not have any panels/screens/buttons on the back like the Leica MD, or Nikon F3!

Well, that's pretty much the original MP. With a manual resetting frame counter, it is the MP.

It is not that simple. The original MP derived from the M3, but is also the ancestor of the M2, in fact more than the M3. There are M2's with a self timer and without. I've also seen original MP's with a self timer, but most are without. However, I've never seen an original M3 without a selftimer. Weird.

It would be much louder. What would the benefit be? The SP shutter does not have a greater shutter speed range.

It's more durable, needs less maintenance and won't get burned by the sun.
My titanium curtained SP was VERY quiet, at least the equal to my M4. And much louder in the world of rangefinders isn't loud at all so it shouldn't make a difference anyway. I shoot mostly with a NIkon F2 or Konica T3, neither camera is known for its stealthy shutter, but the noise has never gotten in the way of shooting nor cost me a photo. If you're a professional photographer who shoots images of orchestra musicians during performances or works in the assembly chamber of the UN, maybe stealth is your thing but for almost every other person on the planet the difference between the characteristic of the sound of the SP and a Leica M shutter is really inconsequential. For that matter, the Leica is even too loud in good symphony halls. This is where the silent point and shoots like the Hexar prevail.
