What I want is for one manufacturer to stick all the good bits into ONE body !!!

The frustrating thing is that I can't think of a technical reason why this hasn't been done as yet

Because the camera that, for you, has all the good bits, would very probably not be my perfect camera.

Besides that, I am pretty amazed about the amount of cameras some people here have (had). Makes for a pretty expensive hobby.  Since I started with digital,  early 2000,  I went trough a Canon 10D (still occasionally used), Panasonic TZwhatever compact, GH2 (stolen) and currently an RX100.

Now I am spending way to much time on research and doubt for a new camera. Can somebody please make me an weather sealed EM1 style body with pop-up flash,  Panasonics menus, 5 axis IBIS and the GH4 video?

And the camera that I liked most?

My old and battered (now disfunctional) Practika film camera with its 2 not to good 50 and 135 mm lenses. With an allowance of 8 images a day, otherwise it got to expensive. Manual focus, a nifty needle for exposure, ran forever on one battery, and without metering also without battery. That got me an amazingly high keeper rate, far higher than nowadays. That was in the 80s.

Not that I would like to go back to it, technology is addictive.

Regards,

Merijn
