I hope that project doesn't have to wait till the Voigtl\ufffdnder Bessa III 
(Fuji GF670) MF folder becomes a success.

Right now Samsung may have the best concept for a high quality compact.
Its Micro APS could have a flange to sensor distance short enough for M 
lenses too, it is possible on the Micro 4/3 and the sensor factor 
doesn't have to increase the flange to sensor distance like on a DSLR. 
On the other hand if Samsung licensed more than the Schneider name on 
the lens it should have lenses equivalent to the Schneider Digitars for 
MF digital backs. The wide angles you would like to have. Improve the 15 
MP sensor of the GX20 and you are in Leica M territory. True a 
rangefinder would be nicer but that is still possible. I don't think 
mechanical coupling to the rangefinder is still needed, there are other 
solutions.

Cosina + Zeiss + Fuji wouldn't be a bad combination. That Zeiss M 
analogue rangefinder made by Cosina was just to test the waters. Imagine 
an improved Fuji sensor in it, it will still be the champion on dynamic 
range. Wished they had done that instead of the MF folder creation. As a 
folder user I think that 670 would have been a terrific idea 5 years ago 
but it is too late now.

Anyway there's no budget left so I can wait for that compact, quality 
rangefinder.
