Does anybody have an answer?

I have a silly idea: a modular camera, that you can build on your needs like a PC. You don't buy the 73rd autofocus point, if you don't need it. Thom Hogan (who has considerable inside information about all things Nikon) has been talking up modular cameras from Nikon as well as a modern FM2. http://forums.dpreview.com/forums/re...1642287&page=1 No real proof, but he thinks it's something being considered. If it is produced it won't be as you envision it. You wouldn't buy autofocus points. You *might* be able to buy different AF assemblies, different sensors, etc. Thom was, BTW, a co-designer of one of the first digital cameras and also the QuickCam (it's possible that these are the same). Yes. Logitech bought the business from us after we proved there was actually a market there ;~). I was told by everyone in the industry we showed it to that we'd never sell it at a profit (we did, even though it's initial price was US$89) and wouldn't sell more than 5,000 (we sold 1 million units in two years). But that's a different story for a different time... http://forums.dpreview.com/forums/re...ssage=31853148 |
