>>198138 Yes. They will and they have. First was the Sony DSC-R1, second is the Sigma DP-1.
Also, arguably, digital rangefinders like the Epson RD-1 and Leica M8 count, too. The market will come in for an affordable hybrid LCD and EVF point and shoot/digital rangefinder, with a larger sensor; it's already there, but people are just making do with point and shoots for now. Ricoh will probably do it, because they already have an EVF that goes into the hotshoe of their cameras and are the ones most committed to non-SLR digital cameras for serious photographers, besides Leica, of course. Just make a GR-M, a larger (to fit the RF), larger sensor GR with an M-mount (and a small lines of autofocus lenses to go with it) with an attachable shoe EVF and that'd be the perfect camera for anyone who does documentary/street/etc, before Leica adds live view to the M8 (2,000 euros for the upgrade, please) and a shoe EVF to go with it (900 euros extra, but we assure you, [insertmarketingspeakhere].)
