I don't talk about everybody's M3, the real thing are e.g. original black paint M3's from the first production batch. Here's an example for such a collector's wet dream:Lol how much do you think vintage Ms are going for? You can get an M3 in wonderful condition for under $1500.
You mean an R5 without video capability ?No interest in this one. I would be interested however, if a true retro SLR style would garner any enthusiasm from anyone other than me. The specs:
No video, stills only. Small body, AE1 size. Auto-focus to use R lenses (and EF adapter), Mode switch for color/mono. Rugged body (less plastic?). Bright
viewfinder and not too heavy.
No, he does not. He said 'retro'.You mean an R5 without video capability ?
Given R6II focus selection modes, R5 is definitely retro.No, he does not. He said 'retro'.
Judging by the success of Nikon's retro ZF, I can see Canon going down this route rather than the 'Leica purist' route. In other words, a modern 24MP mirrorless with video, the latest AF modes and a flippy selfie screen all wrapped up in a retro style body with shutter and ISO dials and maybe a few new film like picture styles. I believe a camera like that would sell more than a stripped down SLR 'purist' type. A purist camera would likely have much less appeal and would, like Leica, likely end up being very costly and sold in limited numbers.No interest in this one.

A couple lists posted by 43 Rumors:Judged by what metric?
I feel the same about purists who, to this day, claim film is superior to digital. And then they scan their images to post on Instagram, thank you.I hate retro. There's a reason we move on to the modern "ugly" ergonomic superior designs.
Those who love retro usually use the camera as props to shoot Instagram/tiktok.
Fuji X100VI is raising over 2500 USD-equivalent in Hong Kong... Seriously with this price might as well buy a Leica.
Not sure I’d call two chains/stores in one country representative. Per BCN (aggregating about half the stores in Japan), the Zf was #30 in Feb, up from #91 in January.A couple lists posted by 43 Rumors:

These are cameras I wouldn't even think of buying from Ebay. All black paint M1 to M4 sell at astronomical prices.I don't talk about everybody's M3, the real thing are e.g. original black paint M3's from the first production batch. Here's an example for such a collector's wet dream:
Leica M3 black paint First Batch 959-420 with Buddha Lugs in original vintage c | eBay
Komplett überprüft. Bei Gebrauchtwaren gilt eine Gewährleistung von 1 Jahr. Bilder / Pics. Keine Selbstabholung. Including a matching black paint brass mount Summicron 2/5cm no.1587365, black painted.www.ebay.de
IF this isn't one of those "converted" Leicas. I heard there is a growing no. of fakes of such rare Leicas offered on the web, including rare military Leica models.
DPReview was not impressed with its ‘Operation and handling’ either (link to review):Not sure I’d call two chains/stores in one country representative. Per BCN (aggregating about half the stores in Japan), the Zf was #30 in Feb, up from #91 in January.
On Amazon US, it’s #58 in MILCs (for comparison, the R5 is #4, the R8 is #5 and there are several other FF MILCs from Sony and Nikon that are well above the Zf on the list).
Not sure those are consistent with ‘successful’.
If there was a ZF equivalent in Canon I would have bought it.I feel the same about purists who, to this day, claim film is superior to digital. And then they scan their images to post on Instagram, thank you.
I like the look of it, but I wouldn't want to give up the ergonomics of cameras such as the R5. A retro body would definitely be one I'd have to try before purchasing.If there was a ZF equivalent in Canon I would have bought it.
The oversaturated, hyper-punchy, and "film" looks can be achieved easily in post; on the other hand, you may find some great tutorials (as the one linked below) to explain how to create beautiful Canon Picture Styles, using Canon software, that can be easily uploaded to use in camera. You can even download pre-made Fujii styles for the green skies, etc. Or you can demand out-of-the-box-options. Choice is good!If Canon is releasing this then I hope they are working on their color character. The Canon color signature has been quite dull (but probably technically accurate) lately. One of the main reasons the Fujifilm is selling so well in the retro-department is its glorious film simulations and flexibility to alter the look in camera. If Canon just releases a retro-style camera with the regular boring picture profiles then count me out.
Do you mean with the SOOC JPEGs or when using RAW? And if using RAW, which converter are you using?If Canon is releasing this then I hope they are working on their color character. The Canon color signature has been quite dull (but probably technically accurate) lately. [...]
