You and me, but please don't call it a Texas Leica! Hahaha...I'm holding out for the rumored Texas Leica with a 50 mp Sony sensor.
Texas Leica sounds perfect to me but I'll admit that I'm biased.You and me, but please don't call it a Texas Leica! Hahaha...
I want my old Mamiya 6 in a digital format (the one with the collapsible lens mount), and I think I'd be very happy forever more.

I don't know about the sounds but Sony can readily do that shutter.Texas Leica sounds perfect to me but I'll admit that I'm biased.
I tend to agree with you on this Annna.I came to Sony because it offered the possibility to get a FF sensor in a small very portable mirrorless body. For me it is like a digital RF. I don't have any interest in a bigger body, nor a continued megapixels race.
I see a contradiction in that rumor of a "pro" E mount body. There is room for an improved A7, mainly EFC and better AF and some user interface improvements.
But IMO the real "pro" body people are calling for should be a mirrorless A mount body using an A7r sensor or better, being mirrorless it could still be somewhat lighter than the 1.5 kg of the Canikons pro bricks.
But Sony should keep the two lines well separated offering a DSLR like series with the A mount DSLR line one side and the E mount RF style on the other. Aka two modern mirrorless and EVF lines, each with a different character. One a work horse for the pro, the other a rugged, light one for PJ, travel and nature photographer who want to go light. And the lenses should follow that same philosophy.
that's very selfish... if you personally do not have any interest in something it does not give you the right to infringe on others that have a lot of interest in that... like in m43 world we have crippled cameras for soapbox lovers (PEN, GX/GM) and cameras for those who need a normal grip and functionality (OM-D, GH)... as an E-M1 owner I am very happy that those who need soapboxes continue to have them while we have our lines of camerasI don't have any interest
and why your rightful desire to have an alternative line of A-mount FF dSLT cameras shall be posed as either/or vs those who want a better E-mount FF dSLM line of cameras ? those are separate mounts...I'd like to see a bit smaller/lighter A99 replacement
I don't see any reason why your personal preference for small dSLM cameras (with E mount) shall prevent some others from getting bigger & more advanced dSLM cameras (with E mount)... it is not that Sony will suddenly make smaller bodies unavailable for you.I dont sea any reason to put monster lenses on a small camera.
Say that I'm selfish if you want. But my point is that when people begun to ask forthat's very selfish... if you personally do not have any interest in something it does not give you the right to infringe on others that have a lot of interest in that... like in m43 world we have crippled cameras for soapbox lovers (PEN, GX/GM) and cameras for those who need a normal grip and functionality (OM-D, GH)... as an E-M1 owner I am very happy that those who need soapboxes continue to have them while we have our lines of cameras
They are NOT. The lenses for RF are compact (may not be lightweight) and they do not smear and do such nasty things.Just like the A7 are winners for those who wants a digital equivalent to the RF.
