Interesting concept.
For me the deal breaker is the lack of viewfinder. However this might be designed for people who've not grown up with SLR or rangefinder cameras, but phones instead.
The ux is interesting it looks like the thumb wheel is the only real physical controls and only works on the selected item. For me thats probably ok, as I only really set the shutter speed during shooting.
I wonder what its actually like to use? I wonder how it compares to something like the AliceCamera (https://www.alice.camera/ https://www.alice.camera/)?
However, if I was on the market for a camera, of that rough size and quality, I'd probably go for a second hand GFX100, which is around the same price as the BF. Its the only mirrorless camera that is easy to use (in shooting, the setup isn't great) and shows me what the picture looks like live. (I'm looking at you Canon RP)
- m463 2y ago> lack of viewfinder Yeah, I think this is another situation where touchscreen-only phones/tables set a bad example for others to copy. I think a viewfinder is way better for outdoor shooting, but maybe people who take most shots indoors don't care?
- 112233 2y agoThey had viewfinders for their cameras that lacked viewfinders before, e.g.: https://www.sigmaphoto.com/dp1-quattro-compact-digital-camera-lvf-01-viewfinder-kit https://www.sigmaphoto.com/dp1-quattro-compact-digital-camer...
- KaiserPro 2y agoOoo thats wild, almost like one of those cinema camera emulators that directors have.
- Euphorbium 2y agoI absolutely love the removal of it. I Hated the viewfinder on every camera I had, and always wished there was none of it.
- KaiserPro 2y agowhat is it about the viewfinder that you don't like? Its what I grew up with(SLR), and having used the early digital viewfinders, I can see how hard they can suck. But modern ones are much better.
- Euphorbium 2y agoI dont care how good it is if I never use it. It costs like half of the camera build cost, it is needless weight and volume. I have zero use for it.
