Design the best camera in the world!, ever!

It should have a "freak out paranormalists" feature, that automatically adds orbs to any photo.

- ISO 50 - 3200 or more f0.2 - f38
- stereo lenses for distance measurement by triangulation
- built in flexible lens hoods
- lens cleaning system
- sealed stereo processing chips in each lens assembly
- continuous burst - continuously
- each assembly mounted head high
- directly connected to my brain by optical fibres

The Winner!

I'd like a digital version of an Olympus OM2n, I miss mine, also why don't Lomo make the lens as a 35mm add on rather than have it on that shit compact

Look on my works ye mighty, and despair:

I'm working on what might just be a rather specialised candidate just now.

Here is an early version of the prototype:

One of my past projects is currently snapping away at the deepest ocean depths any camera has yet photographed. So I already have a "first" of some sort.

This one is not intended to go down though.

What I want is fairly simple, but apparently not yet achievable.

Body: about the size and shape of a Leica M with a bright 100% viewfinder.
Lens mount: Leica M (Voightlander make affordable lenses for this mount)
Sensor/DIP: equivalent of D700 sensor and image processing would do fine.
Other features: simple interface, good autofocus, auto-exposure, stabilisation.
Price: under a grand, maybe up to £1500.

I'd happily settle for something the size and shape of an F3 with Nikon F mount though, which ought to be a bit easier to produce using current technology.
