Hi, Ming,
I just read your blog “Close, but no cigar: how to design mirrorless right”. Thank you for pointing this out!
BUT – [Sarcasm mode on]
You are simply killing the camera industry with your ideas of a perfect camera! What could they sell next then?
[Sarcasm mode off]
Unfortunately this is the way the industry lives and keeps living. They will never sell a perfect product. Whenever a new feature or a great improvement is implemented, one will find out soon that this more or less expensive model is crippled in at least one other respect. You will have to buy 3 bodies to get all features you want or need, but never get all in one body, this is done on purpose….

All points in your list are simply necessary or at least desirable!
May I add some more points?
The camera settings could easily be stored to the memory card and we wouldn’t have to spend lots of time finding all our settings again after the next firmware update! Thus we even could have the possibilty to transfer our settings to another body – if the manufacturer doesn’t ‘forget’ or block this feature.
Better dynamic range instead of more megapixels. 10-12 EV is a bit low and could be improved.
Why not make a mFT+ sensor with increased size? 20x15mm instead of 17,3 x 13mm should be possible and most of our lenses would not show heavy vignetting. This way about 24 megapixels and a crop factor of around 1.7 could be reached without an increase in diffraction, giving us much more wide angle at the cost of a bit length. But there are more alternatives than on the wide side. Just an idea…;-)
With best regards,
Christian
