This is my personal view of things in terms of the dream camera I would like to work with in 2022. Is there even such a thing as a perfect camera? Probably not, but if I had to pick one, it would look and function like this. There’s nothing unrealistic here, just a combination of features that already exist plus a bit more, maybe.

The literal translation would be an egg-laying woolly milk pig. Being vegan was not yet a thing back then, obviously. Now, what does this eierlegende Wollmilchsau has to do with a 2022 camera, you ask? Well, I certainly would want one! The perfect camera that can do everything and is lightweight, compact, superbly performant and, of course, affordable. Is that plausible? I don’t think so, but let’s explore this thought a little further. Not exactly compact. Sony VENICE 2 camera rigged.
