"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:
&#8730; mirrorless
&#8730; 5 -axis internal stabilization
---touch screen, fully capable of releasing the shutter
&#8730; 1/8000 top shutter speed
&#8730; 1/250 flash synch
&#8730; stable of lens options
&#8730; easy to use with glasses
---dual card slots
&#8730; battery that has a useful life of approx 500 shots
&#8730; 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.

Actually, looking at Em1 Mark ii right now, my biggest issue is whether or not micro 43 and OM will be around in 3 years?? Financial issues abound

Looks ripe for a Sony purchase of their camera division...



this seems logical to me -Sony "commissioned" OM to design and manufacture some full-frame lenses for Sony - this seems like the logical next step

Yes, this is correct. OM is mainly a medical imaging company with ancillary products in photog and imaging. Their v high quality glass in the medical industry is unquestioned. OM used to be at the forefront of technological innovation when they developed a mini still camera for film. The innovations were brilliant, such as TTL metering, but not continuous.

The EM1 - ii is due in Sept/Oct this should be very close to my "ideal" Now, if only I could add the 300 4.0 then that would be special. I was able to try that lens and it is phenomenal!!

Folks, this is not a pie in the sky wish list i thought the A6300 was going to do most everything I asked for. For some unknown reason, Sony did not include image stabil in the body and did not include a touch screen, even though they already have the tech in their full-frame bodes.

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 was able to reach an OM tech person. He said that this flash will not work TTL with the Em5. Therefore, I get the flash to fire, but there is no TTL signal Have to go with a 600 flash

No. Guide number 40 at is 100. But none of the shots were over 20 feet. Most were bounced. I am mystified because this does not happen with my Nikon equip unless the batteries are weak
