1. When will the digi-crew realise that 35mm lenses are made to cover a 43mm 
circle and provide 
a camera with a 43x43 sensor? This sensor would have 114% more surface area and 
approach 
the quality possible with a 645 camera but be able to use 35mm system lenses.

2. If you have an electronic viewfinder, the flange to sensor distance can be 
arbitrarily small. Why 
hasn't someone made a body with a large sensor and a set of interchangeable 
flanges which can 
accommodate almost any 35mm system lens, from Leica/Contax to ... If smart 
enough, the 
flanges could even support auto exposure and auto focus lenses from various 
makers.
