Of course, "regular F-mount" and "small size (similar to Oly EM1 / Sony A7)" does not go together at all

But still ... I really hope Nikon comes out with a top-notch mirrorless FF system and catches Canons' asleep at the wheel geriatric ward management team with their pants down.

"small size (similar to Oly EM1 / Sony A7)"

BTW didn't find that quote about size in the NR post. I could only find
[quote author=NR]retro design (something like the Olympus OMD)[/quote]

Let's see what will be announced then... (and if Canon will react anyway. Don't think so)

Hmmm .. I see this on the linked NR page:

the camera will be small (about the same size as the Olympus E-M1)

Thank you! Didn't get that.
But as you stated if still with the F mount and no a dedicated mirrorless mount (+adapter for F lenses) there will be no improvements in overall system size and optimized optical design. There the Sony solution is still ahead (in principle, not with the existing lens portfolio).
