For what reasons do you want a FF mirrorless on the market?

It will be smaller, thinner, lighter than my current DSLR, something I can put in my pocket (like a NEX/EOS-M)
14 (26.4%)
I want a shorter Flange-distance so I can use my collection of FD/FL/Rangefinder glass on digital FF (and can't afford a Leica M)
3 (5.7%)
I only ever use Live-View / shoot videos, so a mirror is pointless
1 (1.9%)
Taking away the mirror means less mechanics to break, and less cost
3 (5.7%)
I want one, but only when contrast-based or phase-in-sensor AF is as fast as phase-detect-via-mirror AF
11 (20.8%)
I probably won't get one, at least not straight away, but i'm a gear-head and will sleep better knowing one exists somewhere (besides the Leica M)
1 (1.9%)
I'd buy a Leica M if I could afford one, but having AF (no matter how slow) with my current EF lenses would be better
5 (9.4%)
I don't want an FF mirrorless, they'll always be too expensive for me (presumably so will DSLR-sized FF)
2 (3.8%)
I don't want an FF mirrorless, I'd rather my EOS-M/NEX-sized APS-C and FF in DSLR-sized 6/5/1D bodies
13 (24.5%)

if the cost is much less and does most of the things of a 5d why not? lighter, smaller - for travelling is perfect.
What would cost less?
The body will cost more, and the lenses will cost more.  Thats why no one is making a interchangable lens mirrorless.  AF is also much slower for cameras with large sensors.  The cameras with tiny sensors have fast AF, but it gets slower as the sensor size increases.  Much of this is due to the huge depth of field with a small sensor.  AF does not have to be very accurate to have the subject in sharp focus.

I would like a Leica styled camera with a FF sensor. AF would be nice if possible.

If canon could do another Canon 7 camera, I'd buy one.
