Seems you're looking for the perfect bridge camera :)

I want one camera too but I want three ultra fast prime lenses - one equivalent wide, one equivalent standard 50mm, and one equivalent tele.

At least APS-H sensor size although I could live with an APS-C.

Must have full manual video.

High ISO.

This is probably asking too much for 2012 cameras. The Fujifilm X-Pro1 comes so close to this, it just doesn't do full manual video, that's all I want in the X-Pro1 to make it near perfect, full manual video.

I hope the manufacturers are monitoring what's being said here! Listen to their customers. Will they?

Yes and no..... for 80% of my photography, I use the normal range and would like an f1.4 for subject isolation....and a bridge cam will never go that wide...it would just have to be too enormous.....I understand that.

But I also want a big sensor, so current bridge cams aren't cutting it.

Having bought two in the past four months, I don't feel inclined to buy anymore for this year, my Oly and two Fuji's are great please do not tell me about any more!!!

Same here. i'm done for the year (hopefully).

Cheers,

Done here. Think I'm done for quite some time, I hope!

One camera, one lens, wide, tele and macro. And.. every shot you take with it is perfect! Ahem!

An Oly EPL3 with the electronic viewfinder that I could use on my XZ1 too is on top of my wishlist. The optics would be a 17 and a 45.

I would like a leica m9 monochrome - but unfortunatly id have to sell a kidney !! otherwise id settle for a fuji x pro1 !
