 Fuji shows how small a  really good mirrorless could be made, ans Sony 
shows how a FF camera can be light and made inexpensively and compactly (A7 
had something like 39 total screws in it). 
 
Mirrorless cameras are complex, but they are electronically complex. 
(Difference between a Jacquard loom and a i7 processor). Given the right 
design team, and obviously Sony has one, the mirrorless camera is both 
fundamentally more producible, and requires less QC.  Neither are Leica 
strengrhs

Mirrorless cameras are complex critters.

I?m probably wrong but I?m thinking the form-factor might look more like a 
smaller R10 but skinnier.

A photo on Andreas Kaufmann's Facebook page with a camera in the background

SLR form, looks smaller than S, and he declined to discuss it :)
