The camera would have to be deeper to take an M mount natively, so to keep
it thin why not a different mount?

To be clear, I wasn't wondering about sensor size in my previous post. After
all, the M mount already supports full-frame, so why shouldn't it work for
APS-C? What necessitated the new mount? I just don't see why the M-Mount
could not be "enhanced" to include the contacts needed for AE and AF. I'm
sure there were good reasons behind the decision, I'm just curious to know
what they are. I'm betting that the reason had to do with marketing and/or
product segmentation.
I hope we'll actually see some benefit from the small sensor in the T
series, mainly compact lenses.
