Holga D (NOT REAL!)

Sadly, this is all a dream from some Swedish designer, but I want one!

Ar. I saw this a few days ago, over at JPG (which is sadly biz now :( ) and Ilove the concept. What do think the chances are of it getting picked up at some point?

I'd buy it

Well I found a thread on the guy's blog and there seems to be quite a bit of interest. He's keen to see it into production, but I do wonder at the price. It's supposed to have a crop sensor, which will push the price up quite a lot even if it is 'last generation'.
I don't think the concept would work as well with a tiny sensor in it.
Just hope the Lomo people don't get their hands on it or it will be massively overpriced.

I'd also like to see a mono version with a sensor tuned specifically for that alone.

The only real comparison is the little digital harinezumi (http://www.superheadz.com/digi2/index.php?lang). That's about £120 round these parts. I can't see that Holga D being much less than twice that.
