Do you mean like the X1D? Lenses with built in shutter?Better yet, why not just make Q for interchangeable lenses, then we can all get what we want.
Close if not the same. My close approach is a Leica M-D on which I use Lux 35 and Rit 75mm lenses almost exclusively. Utter simplicity in use, with everything I want in this type of camera. It fulfills all my desires and need for a compact, handy, carry anywhere camera that can make images of top-notch quality whenever I want.A Leica Q ( or Q50) with a lux 50mm and crop to 75mm.
...
Anyone else for such a product?
That's Leica.The costs are going to be astronomical.
Sounds like my Leica M-D typ 262 with a Summilux 50mm lens would be perfect for you. That's how I use it ... I just prefer 35-75 lenses over a 50 with sensor crop to 75, and I'd rather use an iPad to look at my photos than an iPhone. (I can do the 75mm sensor crop in post processing very easily anyway.)Thanks folks for joining in. I search for
a simple package that has af ( my eyes ), can be slung
over the shoulder, has decent low light
performance.
Just throw it in a carry-on, along with one change
Of clothing, meds, passport and cc.
2 batteries, 2 chargers, iPhone, 2 simple cables,
Mix of 32GB/64GB sd cards.
Everything else buy at destination and
give it away.
That is how I like to travel.
50mm f/.14, of course.

Sorry, didn't notice. I don't use AF very often...Close, but no AF (as mentioned by the poster) ...
A Leica Q ( or Q50) with a lux 50mm and crop to 75mm.
That's it.
Unless Fuji can follow up with a 50mm version of X100T.
I really would buy such an offering. At a relatively reasonable price.
And be done with it all.

Aside the issue of what it might cost, this idea has always appealed to me.Better yet, why not just make Q for interchangeable lenses, then we can all get what we want.
