I posted this here, because I wasn't really sure in which other forums this would fit.
So bare with me if I'm wrong in this place.
Just imagine we'd be sitting in a coffe bar dreaming about the features of our dream camera we want to have built.
With all these discussions taking place these days I thought a brainstorming / dreaming thread
would shed some light on the contents of the gearhead brainlobes in all of us.
To keep this thread clear from too much mess and misunderstandings keep the format of your answer such,
that the use case for your dream camera is made clear:
Be it street photography, travel, high-end landscape, portrait, studio or whatever.
You can post multiple cameras/lenses whatever.
And you may also post which gear currently available comes closest to your dream in your opinion.
Please don't start flame wars since this is sensible matter, as we all know from various discussions around the place.
So I'll start:
My favourite landscape camera:
- As light as possible
- Full movements
- High resolution for large prints
- Awesome dynamic range / color rendition
- Awesome groundglass or life view
Best current compromise in my opinion: Linhof Techno+Digital Back, maybe Rm3Di
My favourite travel/street photography camera:
- As light as possible
- Full Frame 24 MP range
- Rangefinder with EVF (Fuji style)
- Awesome Lowlight / color rendition
- Fast Autofocus
- Awesome Zoom Lenses and some fast Primes
- Control wheels (Retro Design) for Speed, ISO, Exp comp, Mode, F-Stop Rings on Lens, Stop down preview in EVF
- Excellent Auto-ISO + ETTR
Best current compromise in my opinion: Fuji X Pro 1 (upgraded Firmware) or X E2
My favourite "always with me" compact:
- As small as possible (pocketable)
- APS-C size sensor
- Fast on/off and fast Autofocus
- EVF
- Awesome Lowlight / color rendition
- Awesome Zoom Lenses (35-85 FF equiv)
- Control wheels (Retro Design) for Speed, ISO, Exp comp, Mode, F-Stop Ring on lens
- Good Auto-ISO with speed and ISO boundaries + ETTR
Best current compromise in my opinion: Canon Powershot S 120
