I think the future of top line digital rangefinders should be in a plug-in monitor for viewing images, make different ones so you choose your size, resolution etc. If you want it on the camera then maybe a 2" screen to slip into the accessory shoe like a vertical finder, great for close-ups too, combine it with storage capacity (and play MP3s on it if you like). Keep all the stuff that doesn't really have to be a part of the camera body off it and you could possibly keep the size of an M body more or less as it is.
