I love it! I am usually the grumpy old guy in the team, but truth is that surviving legacy technology survived for a reason. The same is true for camera features and interface. I would simply love to have a camera whose features were strictly limited to controlling exposure, providing the means to frame and focus, and actually capturing the image.

You mean like the rumored combination mount that would allow FF Pentax cameras to operate as both a MILC and a SLR and ALSO support the full range of Sony FE mount FF lenses.

You mean sort of like the Epson R-D1, only as a dSLR?
Yes, that would be a very nice camera indeed! I would expect that the battery would be tiny.
