with all of your criteria but would add I'd be looking for a good deal
of compatibility with existing R lenses. I think that may have been

All the best, Chris B
G'Mornin' Chris!
Yes, a high degree of compatibility with my existing glass is paramount.
If we assume that there is to be a mount change, for whatever reason,
I would expect an adapter of some sort, which will run my existing
glass in Aperture priority mode (the only mode I ever use - and the
simplest one with which to make an adapter work). I would not expect
an adapter to run all modes and features, as it would make an adapter
too complex and thus, unreliable. But unlike the adapters on my
Canon's, I would expect the automatic diaphragm to work.
If they produce a camera which is not compatible with existing glass,
I will not buy. I simply do not have the funds to buy a new array of lenses.
Sorry... I should have been more clear.
Also, if they produce one priced substantially above the M8, I will
have to think long and hard if I could be tempted. At the pace
digital changes, I would not be keen to spend much more than $5000 on
a body, of any kind, unless I was able to write it off as a pro...
something I am not, and thus cannot do.
Cheers!
