William - No, no, no!  No EVF!!!  Individual projected frame lines 
would sure be nice, though.

I suspect the price is going to keep me away, too, but it's fun to speculate.

I just went through another cycle of looking at DSLRs and decided to 
wait again.  My primary shooting these days is with 15 and 28mm 
lenses and the options for doing that kind of work with quality DSLRs 
is quite expensive.  Besides, I really like the small size of the M's.

I have no processing concerns at the moment either though the number 
of rolls my guy processes every week is very low.
