If you make it a priority of your design team...... But let me go back to basic RF cameras..... If you employ LiveView in the VF ( which I believe is called EVF or something like that), and you use a really good LCD/LED display for the image, you are basically looking through a SLR camera. Better than that is the fact that you are actually looking at the "film" plane . No more out of focus adjustment cameras or lenses.... WYSIWYG. Period. Make the LCD a really good one, and it would make a surprisingly good focusing system. Noctilux capable..... Did I mention cheap? I should have..... And the implementation of AF is pretty easy, but then again, how do you make the M mount lenses move in and out for focusing? Move the mounting plane? Personally, I like the idea of an EVF..... I do not like the idea of a big honking rear mounted LCD that is my primary focusing and viewing device... Ii think those are insufficient to promote good technique. Let's just hope Leica actually makes a M10 at a price point we can afford.... God knows, the M9 MSRP was way above mine..... ( Thanks John.....!) Frank Filippone Red735i at earthlink.net
