My wishlist for a future NX body

You know, I've been highly disappointed by NX20. I remember an interview where some Samsung representative said we could expect great things from the NX20, but I haven't seen those great things, being the NX20 basically a NX200 with the articulated screen and a decent EVF, plus a couple of gimmicks. Now the firmware upgrade added processing speed, but I think this is something that could be done also in NX200, if just Samsung wanted.

With this premise, I started thinking about what I'd really like from a new NX body, that could be really "innovative" and cutting edge. Hera are some of my early thoughts:

1) newer and better sensor, in the 16-24MP range, with better high ISO handling (1 stop better than the already nice 20MP sensor) and better DR
2) a rangefinder style, with a dimension and shape similar to NX100

3) a very high res EVF (1024x768 or higher) and NOT field-sequential. Possibly AMOLED with contrast settings OR
4) an hybrid EVF ala Fuji, alternative to the former

5) some sort of focus peaking or focus assist which is BETTER than that implemented in the present models. Sony's FP is really nice to me.
6) IBIS
7) 1/8000 real shutter speed (usable also with legacy lenses)

8) processing speed which is at least 30% higher than that of NX20 with newer firmware (dual processing technology and faster I/O speeds would be nice)
9) swivel touch screen

All this for a price in the 1100-1200$ range to compete head to head with Somy NEX7.
