Yea, I would have to admit that if they came out with an R4 sized camera
with an R8 viewfinder, metering, and motor capability I would jump.  I have
loved the R8 since one of the early pre-production variants was given to me
for the day.  I just didn't see the need for the large body as I have
another system that is rather largish and I can use R lenses with it.

Actually, what I really want is something about Contax 167 sized with a
built in motor and all of the above.  Sorry to be blasphemous on this list
but the Zeiss lenses are really quite good and the exposure lock is superb:
no lock exposure-shoot, lock exposure-shoot, etc.  Just meter, lock it in
with a flip of a switch and shoot until the light changes.  Somehow, I find
that easier than manual.
