This $3,000 Camera Shouldn't Exist

It's almost impossible to find this camera now, but I got my hands on one. For better or worse.

Have you heard of the V mount? Yeah, I didn't think so. Me neither, until recently when I was searching dead lens mounts and saw that there was ONE digital camera produced for this mount. Here's my Minolta RD-3000, a dual CCD DSLR released in 1999. It's just about the strangest camera system decision made by a large manufacturer.

But it's grown on me. The images are some of the most film like from a digital camera I've used yet. Part CCD sensors, part lenses with some characteristics (flaws, hah).

Viewers let me know of an autofocus adapter for Sony E mount for $250 😲 Still cool though. Adapter will cost money, but the lenses are dirt cheap.
