I want a camera that works digitally, but all is through physical controls and only the photometer is digital as well. Not a single "auto" feature. All manual, but saves to an SD.


Not cheap, but you can get a Leica that doesn't even have a screen, it's all manual and just treats the sensor as though it were film stock. One of the things I like about the Leica digitals is that they are still rangefinder cameras so your experience of using them is still through the viewfinder and much more akin to an analog experience because of the manual focus / exposure / speed control. Now I just need to save up :-)

As others have said, the Nikon Zf is a nice manual feeling digital option too.


Thanks, I'll check it out and probably start saving.


fujifim tx cameras and nikon's zf might make you happy. they are digital cameras with a throwback "retro" manual control scheme.


I'll take a look. Thanks!


Good news is that Leica M11D has just launched last month, bad news is it costs $9.3k for just the body.


I wonder why there isn't anything more affordable...
