I'd SO buy this! A Canon mirrorless full frame imagined.

Blogger imagines a Canon mirrorless camera with a full frame sensor.

You know it would be even better if you could use current canon lenses on it as well as whatever its kit is

Yep! Just like the K01.

Wow. That's a nice looking design! Looks awfully like the OMD though. But with a full frame ... that'd be AWESOME!

Once upon a time Canon - heck, all the major makers - made nice rangefinders.

The SLR was born to solve some problems rangefinders had. Today with electronics, one can build a compact that will do macro or somewhat long telephoto work well, where the film rangefinder has issues with this.

Time for full circle, or almost full circle. I doubt we'll see a resurgence of RF cameras but small compacts with EVFs taking small lenses.... sure!

It is interesting - I still have a couple of (no longer used but working) film rangefinders and traded in an almost complete Contax G2 kit for my D300 4 years ago.

I now find myself with a Panny G2 building an RF-like kit again (28mm - 50mm - 90mm EFL primes). I just need someone to produce a 21mm EFL Biogon-like lens now...

I think some people just associate good-looking retro design with rangefinder, but this is really like a copy of the Canon AE-1....a classic 35mm SLR

Just buy the Olympus version, it exists and is available now with a family of compatible lenses.
