Perhaps too automated for OP but at least no effing menus: dedicated on-body controls for every function and setting.
The RTS III can boast numerous firsts. The pressure plate does not scratch film, ha, ha. It's made from ceramic because Kyocera likes to showcase that material. The plate is perforated and a vacuum system pulls the film flat at the moment of exposure. Then there is the patented FEL (flash exposure lock) which triggers the flash system without exposing film. The TTL flash reading is locked in memory for all subsequent exposures. I have three of these bodies stockpiled for nuclear winter.

Hey my $20 Reto UltraWide and Slim doesn’t scratch film either, so what’s your point? Oh yeah, Leica is making $5500 cameras that do scratch film….
I always thought the RTS III was incredibly cool. It sucks your film.. who even thought of that?
Looking which camera I used in the past 10 years with most of my films, it is clearly this one standing out of my pack. Using it long before the hype for it started:
More than one, I know, but we're all here to see pics of pretty cameras so the more the better right?
If I could only have one I'd probably pick the Rolleiflex. One per format then probably the Rolleiflex and the F2..
I have been putting some work into properly archiving my negatives & slides recently, and while doing so I realized I have shot more film with this one camera than all my other cameras combined.
