ok, here is my rant regarding the non-availability of a camera like this


mirrorless
5 -axis internal stabilization
touch screen, fully capable of releasing the shutter
1/8000 top shutter speed
1/250 flash synch
stable of lens options
easy to use with glasses
dual card slots
battery that has a useful life of approx 500 shots
1080 video I despise this trend to 4k, 10k, 100k video


Why can't someone produce this camera? Not too much to ask. All technology is available, but nobody puts all in one pkg


FYI Currently use Nikon D7000 and Oly Em5 (version1) Neither has met my criteria

I don't care about the top three on your list, but my D750 meets all my needs. When I need something smaller, I use my Sony RX100 III.

Whether or not a camera company can make such a camera depends on whether they can make money with it.

Why the disdain for higher quality video? Many want this. Besides, any camera than shoots 4K will also shoot 1080.

I am with you on the eyeglass friendly feature. Common with dedicated video cameras, but not so much with SLR/mirror-less cameras. Never did know why that was.

Why bother with photography if you can't have the camera you want? Nothing in life is ideal. That is why they still put erasers on pencils. Also what is ideal to you may not be ideal to someone else.

And you won't complain about paying $10,000 for this camera right?

Forgot a few things. Unlimited ISO.--- 500 shots, no, unlimited shots---Fit my hands perfectly----weigh, 5 0z--- why not thought controlled-- and most of all, make perfect photos.

My 7D markII works with my glasses, once I added an eye cup adapter to it.

I'd add one thing to the list...split screen focus. I really miss that.

If they promise to make it, will you promise to pay a premium price?

I think Panasonic LUMIX (with Leica lens) makes one that would come close to meeting all of your criteria. Problem is that that have so many various models in that line that I can't begin to review them all.

You have my sympathy. I'm never satisfied with a camera until I learn to use it as the designer intended.

"Why can't someone produce this camera?"
I'd like to answer with a question: Why ask here on the Hog? Why not ask the various camera manufacturers?

I think we do have to accept the fact that not everything is made according to our personal wishes. The camera manufacturers are there because there is money in it for them.

Having said that, have you looked at the Oly OM-D E-M1?
No, it doesn't meet all your criteria exactly, but I'd say it comes pretty close:
√ mirrorless
√ 5 -axis internal stabilization
---touch screen, fully capable of releasing the shutter
√ 1/8000 top shutter speed
√ 1/250 flash synch
√ stable of lens options
√ easy to use with glasses
---dual card slots
√ battery that has a useful life of approx 500 shots
√ 1080 video

I do believe that the touch screen is fully capable of releasing the shutter, but I don't use the touch screen at all, nor have I tried tethered shooting yet - it's on my to-do list.
Only a single card slot, but it is so quick to change a card, that I don't find that a problem. If you're afraid that you'll miss shots because the card is full, keep an eye on the number of available photos on the screen, and change cards when the number gets low and you have a few moments.
Synch includes 1/250th second in its range from 1/320th - 1/60th second.
Record mode for movies 1920x1080, 1280x720 or 640x480.
I wear glasses. Whether progressive or tri-focal lenses, makes no difference - I have never had problems taking photos with my glasses on, and I only use the viewfinder, never or very, very rarely, live view. You will most likely have to adjust the dioptre.
I would say that what is available on the OM-D E-M1 comes pretty close to your wish list. Oh, yes, you'll probably find fault with it anyway. However, you will just have to accept that the camera you want doesn't exist.

Add a battery grip and a big SD card to the em1 and it meets/exceeds your specs...

Yup- mirrorless
Yup- 5 -axis internal stabilization
Yup- touch screen, fully capable of releasing the shutter
Yup- 1/8000 top shutter speed
Exceeds (1/320)- 1/250 flash synch
Yup- stable of lens options
Yup- (I wear glasses)- easy to use with glasses
Nope (Just use a big ass card or get multiple)- dual card slots
I'm in the 400 range without a grip...but honestly, I just carry 4 batteries with me, and have never run short for a days worth of shooting and chimping- battery that has a useful life of approx 500 shots
Yup (although I don't use it much)- 1080 video I despise this trend to 4k, 10k, 100k video

Perhaps the EM1ii will fix these shortfalls, which in my mind aren't really big issues. I'm actually not sure that I'll even upgrade to the em1ii (whenever that is), until my em1 is dead and gone. With the latest Firmware, it was like getting a whole new camera.

Have you ever used an EVF with magnification and focus peaking...there's really no need for a split screen anymore.
