It really feels like there is a demand out there, and if any camera manufacturers are reading this – I would urge you to consider the possibility. Have you seen the Ikonoskop A-cam DII ? That is what you are looking for. With a global shutter too. I’m curious about your opinion on the xt3, as I recently read about it and thought it seemed really appealing on paper. What didn’t you like about it? I totally get what you say about how the “feeling” you get with a product and the results can be different than what pure specs would imply.
