Confessional ...

[Tronhard]

Forgive me for I have sinned... I have had lustful thoughts for another camera brand!

While I, like many, have made the transition from film to digital (and probably won't return), I have often expressed a nostalgic yearning for a digital camera that looks and feels like my old Nikon F3, and Canon A1 SLRs. Now, I have developed a serious attraction for the Nikon Df camera - and this coming from a confirmed Canon user!!

I love the vintage look over the top of a really well provisioned digital FF camera. I wonder what one would be like with the Sigma 24-105 f4 Art lens... (lustful sigh...)

Cold showers for a week I suspect...

Maybe Canon could look into that and make something FF that looks and feels like a Canon A-1???

Hi Danny:

If you have ear of email of anyone who can do something with this in Canon please pass it on...

CANON, I WOULD LOVE IT IF YOU WERE TO CREATE A BODY, BASED ON THE CANON A-1, (because it has similar shooting modes to a DSLR) but with a great FF sensor & lens mount & appropriate processor to match the design of the Nikon FD. PLEASE!!!!  Nikon hav done this with their DF body and there are a lot of baby boomers like me who would really like the feel of a SLR in a DSLR.

Don't hold your breath for that to happen.

[Tronhard]

Agreed... but it would never happen if no-one expressed a desire!

[ebiggs1]

How about just getting Canon to design a sensor that competes with Nikon or Sony?  I'd go for that !

LOL someone has been spending too much time at DXOMark or at DRreview.

You would know!
