Will there be a digital TLR camera?

wrote

My question is whether there will be a digital TLR camera made
sometime in the future.

Can't really see the point of one. Viewing from the overhead position that
TLRs provided can be had with digitals with swivelling screens (or bodies,
like my Coolpix 995). As for the larger sensor required, probably beyond
current manufacturing ability with regard to cost.

In any case, who would bother with a bigger camera than normal these days?
The Rollieflex was a pretty cumbersome item to carry around from memory,
even if it was nice to actually use.

Not to mention the parralex (sp?) problems involved in close subjects.
