A Lear Jet is slso a personal passenger vehicle, but my comment was directed at keeping it simple and direct. Should have been clearer.

I agree you are very right. As I noted in my first reply this morning I mentioned this too. I guess I was just 'pipe dreaming' along with his post because it would be interesting to see how something like this would go over, knowing the marketability etc. factors we will not see this. Thank you for your reply. Really, I enjoy reading these,
Sincerely,

If you want it simple just use your iPhone, and not worry about video.

Oh, right ... and that must be ALL of 5MP - right?
You say that like EVERYONE has one, N ....
That assumes quite a bit ...

That thing does both still and video. Not a still only camera.

Agree. I do not have any interest in videos.
I said that some months ago on another thread.

Nikon DF...No video and a great camera....
As we have mentioned in many previous post the Df doesn't do this
"Marketing a camera with no video capabilities could probably cost less"

Beat you to it, Ken (and I daresay - someone else - might've beaten us both - on the Df)
Bebu's been using one for a while ...
Hey, it's still uP there in price, though ... have you noticed, Ken?

Ah, yes, the various interfaces. Missed that. Thanks! I was thinking more of the actual production of the video, which I don't shoot. The only way I transfer data is via card removal so I missed those components. Still, eliminating them from a particular camera would almost certainly raise the price, not lower it.
Yep. No real savings from yanking video.
The HDMI is to feed an external recorder or monitor during video recording.
The internal mics are really only useful as a reference track with which to synchronize an external recording. They sound *terrible*.
The mic jack is for “single system sound,” where a wireless mic, boom pole shotgun mic, or small audio mixer provides higher quality audio.
The headphone jack is used for monitoring during playback and recording.
AV in/out is for connecting older monitors. USB is used for downloading to computers, although unless it’s USB-C, using an external USB3 card reader is faster. Some newer models also charge via USB-C.
Very few cameras have decent microphone preamps, limiters, peak meters, input level controls, and defeatable automatic level controls. Panasonic GHx series are exceptions. There are a few others (Sony, Fujifilm, primarily).
Half my work is video, half stills. So I appreciate hybrid cameras!

I don't use video con my dSLR. However, I never felt that the video options over-complicated the camera. They are even on a separate menu in Nikon at least.
As I said before, I would love a Df, but for half its price :-D

There are a few that do that but they don't cost less. Making a camera that can only shoots still doesn't save that much money in the production but it would lose a lot of sales. Thus making up for the R&D, toolings cost and lost of sales they have to be sold for a higher price. So there are simpler cameras but not for saving money. Examples are the Nikon Df, the Leica M10-D. So forget about saving money.
As an engineer I don't see the savings in production cost being significant. As stated above, it certainly would lose many sales.

Perhaps a used one for half its new price.
