Like Rangefinder Cameras??? Looks like there's a NEW Company in-town...Konost

Just came across this article about a NEW camera company called Konost, who according to them are developing 'The Worlds First True Digital Rangefinder' cameras. Not quite sure how they can make that claim as some of the Fujifilm X-series models have split-image focus through their digital viewfinder, but nonetheless I was drawn to article by how ABSOLUTELY STUNNING the prototype camera looks & always room for more in the growing market place for this style of camera.

According to Konost, they plan to develop 3 sensor type models. A 20MP Full Frame sensor Model (due 2016), a 12MP APS-C CMOS sensor Model (due 2016) & a 10.8MP 1-inch CMOS sensor Model (due late 2015). The 1-inch sensor model is projected to have a Fixed 35mm f/2 Lens like that of the dominating Fujifilm X100 series & I question slightly how it will compete or compare against the Fuji. The Konost Junior has got to be cheap as surely the Image Quality from Fujifilm X100T APS-C X-Trans Sensor with no optical pass filter puts the Fuji as a step-up. To be honest, I am more excited about the FF & AP Models & I especially like the fact they will come with a Leica M-Mount- that must be a recipe for success.
