Originally posted by Clavius Now look at something interesting Pentax is doing right now. We can order cameras and lenses with their own specific colours. Those cameras are actually "built to order", or rather "customized to order". What if all this colour-nonsense is just ramping up to lots more customisation? A covert way to set up the customisation facilities, testing the logistics, etc. Maybe we can soon choose from a variety of chassis, feature-set, sensor, mount type in the near future, and have our own personal perfect cameras pretty soon?
Quite possible a customisation of some sort, more evolved than what we've used to.
Same body, but choose between two or three sensors, then pure black, silver-black and all silver camera bodies, then different leatherette finishes a la custom made Leicas.
I also thought, considering that SR mechanism and sensor shift can accomplish a lot of things, and that GXR was already a great experience modular build of the camera, maybe the interchangeable sensor camera isn't too far in the future?I don't know about this, just speculating.
But I agree with your assessment — customisation is possible, and even the GR can be customised now! On the other hand, tell me about the customisable Coolpix A, for example.
