Both Doug's and Vieri's comments are well placed. Going with a different shape sensor, more like MF is one solution for sure. While I liked using my old Hassies with square format film, there would be a lot of good pixels wasted for those used to shooting with a more rectangular format. We will just have to wait.
I also appreciate Doug's comment about "absolutes" and stuff, and thus the qualifier, "probably" ;-) The idea of no mirror and thus maybe no "reflex" would be a shift from SLR....like eliminating the "R". They could always go to a pure live view and not have a mirror at all as another possibility.
I really did not intend for my comments to come across sounding so pessimistic, as that is not my nature anyway. I just have been reading too much about all of this lately and trying to make some sense of things for moving forward. Things still do not look very clear, so best idea right now is to pour a nice glass of Irish single malt and stop thinking about it for a while ;-)
