How the G90/95 should look (tried to design it).

This evening I had some thoughts on how the G90 (or some other G80markII kind of cam) should look.

It came to my mind especially that almost no camera's have a videorec button in a comfortable position. I Always have to do some fingeryoga to get there and I wonder why. On other cams these rec buttons are not on the topplate but on the back...More awkward. And sometimes you started to record video because you accidentally touched it...

But I also thought of how to add a joystick for AF in a good place since on a G7 like body (which is the max size I would want in a G90) where it does not become cramped and I think I came up with a workable solution, but who knows.

Here is what I came up with. What do you think? Would the design, if possible, appeal to you. Does it make sense or are there clear downsides? Thanks.

May be a joystick for a cam nelow 1000 euro is too much to ask. Could be.

The topdial is from the G7. It has a panorama mode which I would like to have. G80 has C1 and C2 where G7 only had C. Well. Does not really matter. I think the leftdial with built in focusstick could have a Hires setting on it additionally. But these are just details

How would it look compared to some other mFT cams to give you a clue. Much like a G7/G80 but with a different, bigger grip.

I think the shutterbutton, which I borrowed from G80 and enlarged it is poistioned just right to be comfortable and to easily accomodate a large Rec button without the possibility these get confused by the user.

oh and the specs ( I have mentioned these so many times, but to be complete):

Think of the G80 but with the design above, 20 MP sensor, preferably 3,6 MP EVF with no blackouts during bursts, joystick, a bit better 4K video, GH4/G9 battery.
Speed not like the G9, but a bit faster than the G80 still. IBIS like the G80 or a bit better would be okey. And in contrast with the G7 it needs to be dust/splash proof in my opinion. Single cardslot.Etc.

If it has a mic jack and headphone port and twisty screen as well as fast focusing it could be the ultimate vloggers camera and the first low light vloggers camera ever.

It's fun playing designer isn't it I do it all the time. Do companies hire people located in the USA to do these things? I see people post thought experiments on DPreview often. If someone decided they wanted to be part of the "next big thing" in photography is it possible to get a job?
