Douglas, implementing all this, you should expect the size of a
Hasselblad body!

A bit of wishful thinking :-)
With this new Epson development, I would like to see a camera
as a "Universal Muliple Brand Lens Platform" addressing the
problem of different lens-sensor registers by having a sensor
that can be moved to the correct register for any brand of lens.
Lenses could be attached with an adapter for each brand that
translates mechanical motions (levers, pins, cams) into
electronic signals for metering.
Taking this a step further, a moving sensor could even be used
with the Contax / Kyocera moving image plane concept to
provide autofocus.

I once wrote on another site that using a Panasonic GF-1

be a daunting task if not impossible to hand hold. But...
If they developed a body a little bigger than then current
G1/GH1 with this EVF, can mount R lenses directly with
auto aperture, meter as such with ROM or 3rd cam and if
(meaning must in my case) it comes with a FF sensor, then
I wouldn't mind using the live view the EVF would provide
if the resolution is as they say.
I've also wondered what this DSLR solution from Leica or
3rd licensed party would look like or function like.
Seems mirror-less interchangeable digital cameras are in
vogue now with the manufacturers.
"Anyway it is not difficult to imagine an X1 with EVF and
an interchangeable lens mount. For R glass there would be
a crop factor however the wider focal ranges could be
filled with new lenses. Just idle speculation however I
do feel that the future for interchanged camera systems
has EVF written all over it."
I don't disagree with this, but to have to buy new lenses
to cover the wide angles would not be a viable nor
acceptable R solution.

Have lost the previous note from Doug concerning the epson
crytal panel for viewfinders. I'll be watching the
development of EVF. Seems to me that this device will eat
quite deeply into the DSLR market as these cameras offer
so many advantages not least of which is the small size
without sacrificing much in image quality if anything.
I have a Panasonic G1 and enjoy it immensely for its size
and versatility. Of course the VF does not match a
traditional SLR however the potential is quite apparent
and much better than any other EVF I have seen. In fact I
often forget it's an EVF and simply use it just like my
other SLRs. One advantage is that you can see the effect
of exposure compensation and spot metering in the finder
and the resultant image is spot on the money, ie., WYSIWYG.
I think an EVF camera may well be the solution that Leica
talks about. I know it's rumour but I heard it reported
that a high level exec at Leica said that the Panasonic
EVF in the G1 was the minimum acceptable quality ... does
this mean they have been thinking about it?
Anyway it is not difficult to imagine an X1 with EVF and
an interchangeable lens mount. For R glass there would be
a crop factor however the wider focal ranges could be
filled with new lenses. Just idle speculation however I
do feel that the future for interchanged camera systems
has EVF written all over it.
