I'm still vaguely hopeful that the R10 will be a revised DMR. The
detachable nature of the back does have advantages, and I did hear a
rumour some time ago that an update was on the planning stages. It would
be great to be able to swap the back for an updated one and keep using the
R9: that shutter will take me years to wear out ;-)

Cheers
