Digital Home Thoughts: Another Cool but Completed Fictitious Nikon Camera: the D4x

This is a camera we'll never see - it was created by Industrial Designer Marc Levinson. It's a beautiful design, though I'm not entirely sure how functional it would be; the shutter release is at the back instead of the front. However, the viewfinder is angled upward, so maybe by looking through the viewfinder at a different angle, you can comfortably shoot from a different angle. I'm not convinced though - the diagrams show the user holding the camera with the fingertips...which doesn't sound conducive for long photo shoots.

I'll tell you what this does make me hunger for though: Nikon's entry into the DILC/EVIL realm...I really want to see Nikon leverage some of their awesome DSLR technology into a smaller form factor!
