Height of the G1 non-mirror box is slightly bigger than 0.670". I have some other 8mm movie camera lenses to play with among other optics. <BR/><BR/>The unfortunate thing is that, while the EVF is Craig Stronghttps://www.blogger.com/profile/02034496297551539107noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-10312195.post-35755796512430502372009-02-11T16:35:00.000-08:002009-02-11T16:35:00.000-08:00Thank you for your comment; ideally a component ca...Thank you for your comment; ideally a component camera, if digital, should have wifi -- and a browser.<BR/><BR/>What are those "non-traditional" optic options that you are talking about?

The micro 4/3rds system is as close as we have at the moment but something more modular as you describe is a tantalizing idea.Craig Stronghttps://www.blogger.com/profile/02034496297551539107noreply@blogger.com
