The ?new concept? model will probably have an enhanced function for video recording and may adopt the so-called mirrorless structure, Kimura said in an interview today in Tokyo. ?It could be any time this fiscal year or the following year, as new models are starting to sell,? he said, declining to specify when the product will be available. Nikon, Japan?s biggest SLR camera maker, has been intensively focusing on development of the product to fuel revenue growth of digital SLR cameras, Kimura said. The company aims to boost sales of cameras with interchangeable lenses about 80 percent to 6.65 million units in three years to March 2013, Nikon said last month. -- Alfred Molon ------------------------------ Olympus E-series DSLRs and micro 4/3 forum at http://tech.groups.yahoo.com/group/MyOlympus/ http://myolympus.org/ photo sharing site

Actually, according to what I see on the web, about 2/3 to film, 1/3 to view finder. The thing worked fine in bright light where you didn't want to loose site of the subject. I didn't do any real tests with it, but it seemed like it should loose lots of resolution. It had a limited lens selection (I got the camera for US$30 sometime in the 1967-1972 time frame) I read on the web that the pellicle degraded, but I didn't use the camera after I got a real job and got too busy to take photographs anyhow. After sitting in various boxes from 1975 to 2009 it got thrown out last year - I couldn't even give it away to either of the two local camera stores that actually still sell and display old film cameras. > It > was a stupid design.
