Good evening to all of you who may read me,
What you're about to read may appear to be words of a mad man of simply non-sense... but is it really ? you'll be judge...
I put on my profile some details about my photography history, and as you could have seen I had much much more experience with film medium format and specially ones with a waistlevel finder... that always made me more comfortable to compose my photo than on a classical slr viewfinder such as the one of the SD14... composition that I make after in a post processing way...
Then talking of waistlevel finder, one idea came to my mind yesterday while looking at the DP2 website of Sigma on which I saw that the X3foveon sensor appear to be on a daughterboard connected to the dp2 mother (main)board... and then tried to figure how I could fit all dp2 (but surely more a DP1 due to price fall) organs in a kind of Salyut or Hasselblad case fashion, in order to reobtain the feeling I had with my previous cameras...
For example bringing the expansion slot, AV/Usb component to the Hassy Back (I say hasselblad in order to make you figure out the shape...) with the battery too, putting the lcd up such as the viewfinder glass of those kind of cameras...
And now my doubts... was I clear while trying to explain it ?, Does this seem possible ? what will you think about it ?
I do not intend to abandon my sd14, I just intend to know if it is possible to make one other choice I'll be able to make when I will go shooting...
Thanks for the time spent on reading me...
Best Regards to all
Pedro
