Hello Luiz!

Didn't this turn out to be an april fools joke at some point and this camera was never made? Or am I thinking about something else? Also I don't know you if you were able to read the article, there is constant talk about reusing Narciss parts, etc... I don't see anything resembling Narciss in this camera....

cheers,
Vlad

I found an old thread where Zoom said it's a practical joke http://ussrphoto.com/forum/topic.asp?TOPIC_ID=648

Google translate:
All works on digital photographic technique were terminated by resolution of the Board of Directors at the November and December meetings of the Council of 2004 year. In early 2005, the Office equipment had been eliminated, and by the middle of the year is closed or reassigned to non-photo production and all production facilities of the plant (except for panoramic cameras).

KMZ-zenit is actually heavily investing, mainly in quality and innovations.So dont be surprised of new products. Interesting how they copy existing model-names like s3pro(fuji dslr), N1(first contax-AF-camera). I am sure they will not waste time anymore for such jokes like horizon compact(made for LOMO), panocam with limited exposure times. exposure times which are most important for cams with fixed focus when stop-down is needed with a large exposure range.
