The only problem I see with this is that the mechanical shutter would have to become one that is electronically controlled. This means IC's and a complete rethinking of the shutter. Remember what makes these cameras different. I think an obvious direction to go with the M, without changing the chassis, would be to build a digital back. The big picture is still the internet.
