A reasonabel and unreasonable one

1) Realistically G6 with:

  • PDAF on sensor like E-M1 has
  • Weathersealed like GH3/OMD (would be nice, not necssary to keep things real)
  • ISO 80 - ISO 12800
  • GX7/GM1 video performance with mic input
  • 5 fps with af tracking, 10 fps without
  • Global shutter and e-shutter
  • 1/16000s shutterspeed
  • LIVE TIME Mode (a la Oly), 9999 time lapser, ND filters build in (grad filter with auto detection based on highlight blowout detection)
  • GX7 EVF, but E-M1 size
  • GX7 IBIS, in video too
  • Better batterylife

I would pay 900 euro body only for this. A 20 MP sensor erofrming like the current D5300 would be nce, but unrealistic so keep an improved version of the GX7 sensor would suffice.

2) For the future, as an extra option and not to displace m43 sensors (extremely unlikely):

  • 21,3 * 28,4 sensor (so 4/3 still) = 600 mm2 sensor.
  • 50 MPixel without AA filter for excellent landscapes
  • Fuji and Panny techologies in sensor, making iit score superior to current best FF
  • mount that takes specified lenses and current m43 lenses, so we get a 19 MPixel 4/3
  • Build like E-M1 with same EVF and PDAF etc
  • 4K video
  • 5 axis IBIS
  • 80-25600 ISO
  • Size of E-M1
  • Takes 4/3 lenses via adapter
  • Sportshooting mode at 19 MPixel  8 fps with tracking, otherwise 4 FPS.

Something like that. But that is just dreaming of some ideal that probably isn't there....
