Perhaps if your definition of "talented" includes the capabilities of an optical engineer, multi-skilled electrical engineer, electrical tech, camera mechanical tech, and watchmaker. And you might need large logic array microelectronics laid out and fab'ed. All in a day's work.
I'd rather see a 645Zii upgrade package with the 150 Mpx, but I don't think it is feasible; and if it were, I suspect the cost would be greater than the present Z body price.
Which raises a question: The 'Z' OVF may be FF, but are the mirror and shutter FF? I would expect that they would have been reduced to the cropped size so that they would be faster.
