I have to agree with Paul on this one, Shel.

Monochrome is a rendering process when the sensor is capable of color  
capture. It's only in the case where you have a limited sensor that  
only records intensity information based on a spectral sensitivity  
built into the sensor ... aka B&W film ... that it is anything else.

Instead of dumb features like Face Recognition and nonsensical things  
like "slimming filters", I'd like to more and better focusing screen  
options, multipoint manual metering ala the Olympus OM-4, an  
expansion of the highlight saturation blinkies to indicate over and  
underexposure areas spatially rather than in a histogram display, a  
camera with an interchangeable head for waist level and high  
magnification finder options, and a compact, fast 28mm lens ... ;-)

A set of extension tubes that supported the KA mount's electronic  
contacts would also be good.
