No, no, no. You misunderstand. I could care less about camera bodies. Make me a camera that is equal to current top of the line cell phones.Install 19 little lenses in it or even 3, take the plunge.

but the average UHHer would want to edit and edit the image before anyone sees it.

They can use the IN-Phone Lightroom, Photoshop Express, etc. IN the Phone Side of the product for moderate
editing.

This is usefull when time is a factor.

Colors can be essential. If you have two different colored cameras you can have each one designated for a specific function. Also, if everyone’s camera looks similar then you can tell if your blue camera was stolen. Just saying…..

So Pentax was ahead for their time!!

In Nov 2016, I rode trains to San Diego to serve as my daughter’s co-driver on the way back as she came back to Indiana for a new job. Considering why I was going - and she had to fit two cats into her Prius - I brought only my small-sensored {and generally small} Pentax MILC Q-7 with me. It is YELLOW. There was a gentleman with a Canon camera also on the train; he and I shared use of the back door in the back car of the train. I will be eternally grateful that he respected my yellow camera, even though it kind of looked like a toy.

Canon has seen how well retro-style digital cameras have sold for Fuji, Nikon, Sony and wants in on this party also.

Cheers

I presume you are an avid Cronkite who used film cameras???

Sounds a little Oxymoronic. However, if they will produce a digital version of my old Canon Model 7 and sell it for $35, which is what I paid for it when I bought mine at the Base Exchange for less than $40.00

What year was that? But I don't think they can sell such a camera for that price. Assuming you paid $40 in 1965 (I don't know of course) but even with inflation it's ony $400.

YES! I have been a proponent of YOUR concept for a while now!

My thoughts would be a combination miniature Pro or Semi-Pro camera WITH a Smartphone. Something pocketable with Interchangeable &/ or Pancake lenses.

Actual EVF as well as display.

Maybe someone will simply make a cardboard box that looks like a camera. Slip your cell phone inside.

A ‘shutter’ button on top can be linked to the cell phone to make the exposure.

The box shades the screen so you can see it easily, even in bright light.

Folds up so it takes up less space.

Okey, I will hijack this thread, OM should do a retro of the Pen F... All the features of say the OM5 and the look and feel of the Pen... Ok, throw me out for desecrating this thread now !

I was hoping for more space devoted to optics. Smartphones are so thin now I feel there is room for additional equipment keeping a similar screen size for pocketability.
Of course, we could go back to the "Add-On" Camera Kodak made for some of the Motorola phones back in the day.

Didn't they already have the Retro digital Pen F? It has been discontinued however but the used price is high.

Yes, discontinued and many are sorry they did not bite back when... Pack that same look with all the new goodies and they could sell millions in a body about the size of the OM5...

Mr. Photog, Don't get me wrong I still use my three digital cameras all the time. I'm not a cell phone guy, barely know my phone number. I'm just saying the strides in phone cams have made a leap in photo quality that our digital cams are being left behind. I Google, Samsung, and I phone can do this today we can only be left behind. imho

As a Note, SAMSUNG used to make a small Digital 📷 Camera.
They DO know how to do this!
