Progress?
A classy camera from a classy guy: thank you

Digital cameras have come a long
way technologically since the hulking 2.4lb Nikon D1. The current
D4 is 2.9lbs and my D600 is the lightest and smallest 35mm
format dSLR from Nikon yet, weighing only 1.6lbs. Yet we are still a
long ways off from seeing a minimalist dSLR from Nikon. The FM2 weighs
1.2lbs and is considerably smaller than the D600, only about half the
size. It has everything you need, and nothing you don't. In my dreams
some day we will see a digital camera as sleek, elegant and functional
as the FM2.
