How about the new Canon APS-C sensor being used on RF-S but in a retro fixed lens package?
The reason to jam the sensor back is so you can use the frontal area behind the mount for lens optics. This is how the Fujifilm X100V accomplishes such a fast lens inside a pancake profile. Half of the F2 lens on the X100V is jammed behind the camera and the sensor is positioned near the back screen.
Now granted with Canon technology they're able to make the EF-M 22-2 pancake with a small profile and retain F2 aps-c speed on a normally-placed ILC sensor flange. So imagine what they could do with a recessed sensor using a fixed lens? May be able to even put the lens entirely in the body and create an electronic cover (we can dream can we) but honestly i'd take a small pancake profile lens but minimally F2 speed RETRO steel, retro dial X100V type camera from Canon. What do you guys think? Everyones doing the retro thing so lets see Canon do it next! Optical viewfinder too!
