Aram,
If Canon charges $1600 for a 50mm F1.2 and Leica charges $3400 for a 50mm F1
and Canon charges $3000 for a 12MP FF and Leica charges effectively $7000
for the R9/DMR(I'm sort of blending new used prices here) then your dreams
will set you back $16000 to $20000. (Canon charging $7-8000 for the
1DsMkII)  Now you are in the realm of medium format backs which will not be
much bigger.

Of course you could look at it the other way, a smaller, lighter, more
versatile medium format camera for less money.  :)
