Surely a Nikon FM sized digital would be perfect.
No mirror and film compartments which would be filled with battery or electronics.
I thought we had moved on since the FM, ergonomics are very important. While the FM, FE etc. were very good cameras in their day, cameras such as the D750 are joy to use.
I would expect the electronics could be compressed into almost no space, a couple of chips?
The motor for the mirror and focal plane shutter, together with the mechanisms and associated parts must be very expensive to make and develop. Savings in these departments should give the manufacturers some leeway to encourage them to develop a really good modern camera without a mirror or pentaprism.
Yes..if they keep the same size body, get rid of all the gubbins, compress all the chips..there would be space to store my iPhone in the back.
