Canon and Nikon once started off by making affordable copies of Leica cameras. I wish they'd do it again. Put a Fullframe sensor in an Evil body, replace range finder with highquality EVF and make some great lenses from 16 to 135mm for it, including a 2.8 normal and an uwa zoom. lenses longer than 135mm are probably not waranted as they wont be more compact than todays dslr-lenses. For those long lenses one could have an adapter, Ã la sony.

I think they really need to do three different cams, to try and corner th eentire market, or rather, three ranges:
1. FF sensor camera, as you indicate yourself - will be fairly expensive
2. APS-C type sensor - for those who don't want topay the price, for the FF version, and likely a little smaller too; could share lenses, but will at least have a few extra lenses at the short end for (U)WA
3. An even smaller sensor, maybe half APS-C - for a more compact and hopefully cheaper model and lenses
And of course adapters so the lenses of 1 and 2 can be used on 3, and another set of adapters so EOS lenses can be used on these cameras as well.
If they would launch all three simultaneously, I'd think they'd corner the market completely <img src='http://forum.photozone.de/public/style_emoticons/<#EMO_DIR#>/biggrin.gif' class='bbc_emoticon' alt='
