[rollei_list] Minox Rollei digital TLR AF5.0

Friends

Coming back to this "toy".
Why the hell, no company takes the size of Baby Rollei housing, puts a decent Zeiss lens and a decent sensor in it, makes the knobs really working, uses the second lens for an optical viewfinder and mounts the screen in the back of the camera? Sensors and lenses schould be available off the shell for some bucks in the meantime. 

You could sell it for 1000 $ and people would by it, including me.
Instead of that they make a toy with a 3 MP sensor and sell it for 300 $. Anyway, reading some reviews, the pictures it takes are not so bad. And most people which buy it, love it. But with some effort more you would get such a nice camera. It is a shame. 

Also the use of the waist level finder is real cool for a digital camera.
Buy the way, the same could be done with the Rollei 35: Decent sensor and lens, optical viewfinder, working knobs and the screen in the back. 
I also would buy it.

Regards

Dirk
