I have always found the viewfinder to be the most objectionable aspect of the camera but kind of liked the idea of an autofocus interchangeable lens RF camera. Since there isn't any focusing stuff in the VF anyway wouldn't this approach make this otherwise interesting (and very reasonably priced, relatively) "super point & shoot" really useable? Imagine, the bright viewfinder of a Leica with the best of modern AF. What do you all think?
