I had a thought. There are thousands of old manual lenses laying around, many of which are great lenses. We can adapt them to our modern cameras, but it is not always an easy operation. So Why not????
EOS REBEL-FD
Basically, an AE-1 with a digital sensor.
Begin with a native FD mount complete with USM to activate the aperture arm on the lens.
A full size viewer with old fashioned focusing aids. Split image finder with micro-prism.
On the Top a Sutter speed knob with no goofy little icons...just old fashioned numbers.
The light meter will give you an EV number, and then have a good old " + 0 -" display to let you know whether your Shutter/Aperture/ISO combination is correct.
Include a full frame sensor. Because the camera doesn't have to think about focusing, more of it's CPU power/time could be spend on image processing. Ultra fast read write times to the card. No auto focus would make the price offset for the full frame affordable for "the rest of us".
Ahhh....to dream. Would I be the only one to buy it?
