Now, one thing I would be interested in is color. There seems to be a trend to weaken the Bayer filters to get better signal. The downside is color fidelity. I get much better color from my 645D than my RX-1--both have nice color, just prefer the 645D. Whether that is this Bayer filter thing, I am not sure as there are more factors that could be going on here.
The other interesting thing is an engineer from Pentax about a year ago in an interview expressed a wish to make a mirrorless 645D. Well, with CMOS, this is possible. Hard to say whether it was wishful thinking or a slip of the tongue. Ricoh has very deep pockets, far deeper than the competition. Mirrorless MFD is an interesting idea. Not sure if I would be totally on board, but interesting nonetheless.
The 50MP is really not a real jump from 40MP--12% increase in linear resolution. I'd rather 40MP and keep the pixel area and save filling up my hard drive so fast. Photography is light dependent, it is not plagued by it. This tiny pixel rush is not impressive. No matter how you slice it, it is easier to count photons in bigger buckets.
