And I love it, like all of you as well. I carry a Nikon D1X system for digital -- but wouldn't it be nice to see a digital effort? Yup - the best glass in the world (anyone's) may not be up to par with the current state of digital affairs, but it will be soon. "special Digi Lenses" are great - but as shown by Nikon and Canon, great Film Glass makes great images on anything - solid state, film , the wall -- anything. I'd welcome a 1.3x size - like the Canon D - it's a small boost in focal length, but to squeeze 10 Megapixels into that space may even give a bigger file size (?) than the Canon 1Ds. I REALLY want to keep lens mount compatibility. Maybe the 'back' thing will work out, if rumors (and I am hearing plenty from different people, pretty much the same - and I still don't know how the wind lever will fit in :-) ) but if they ARE somehow true, it's a great start honestly, and will add lot of versatility to an existing system - and make a lot of people happy in the meantime. Long run wise, it might just prove to be the best and cheaper route to 'replace' outdated backs, or even modify them with new components. Who knows?
