Well-implemented, I agree.  Such a camera would get my attention, especially 
if it takes advantage of the R lens' full-aperture metering and 
auto-diaphragm capabilities.  If such a beast appears the things I'd look 
for before committing and $$$$ would be DMR-like color quality, SL-like 
viewfinder and form factor, and (ideally) M-like responsiveness.
