Let's hope it's got old Nikon build quality, instead of the?Cosina, 
somewhat?puny quality.

This is a misleading rumor, however; "Gonna be big" is referring to
the 
camera's sensor. Rangefinder magazine has nothing to do with 
rangefinders, but rather just photography in general. (Each magazine has 
a theme, such as Senior Portraits, Weddings, Lighting, etc.)
