They already make Leica look alikes
I know. Look at my sig, lol. But that's where they should stay. Making something look like a fugly camera that only looks like it does because it HAS too doesn't impress me. The prism hump is useless gingerbread. It's like the fake plastic applique wood on a fake "woody" station wagon. I can stand it up to a point -- like I expect that crap from Olympus. But FUJI?
But then, I also predicted that the retro autos wouldn't last either.
Definitely not a fan!
Wait a dang minute. Are you saying that the Wagon Queen Family Truckster is not a stylish automobile?
Please don't tell me the Jeep Wagoneers (more recent full size) used fake wood. I always wanted one!
I read somewhere that the Fuji photo is likely a fake as their is a viewfinder switch (but no OVF).
I think Fuji or Olympus' genuine-imitation black leather (or is it shark skin) on silver look may be more analogous to your fake woody argument, John. :tongue: The center mounted viewfinder isn't as nice looking as a rangefinder, but there have to be some reasons that Olympus and Sony are going this way other than trying to win on DSLR style?
I wonder if the "SLR" form factor will completely go away, however. For example, the Panasonic G series is modern but has a central EVF hump. Why is the rangefinder style any better? If you want a central EVF and not have it interfere with the LCD, you need a hump.
Make note: do not leave a Nikon Df and a Fujifilm X-E1 or X-E2 alone together in a room, because this is their lovechild.
