Just for fun...who do you think will be first?

And when?

EDIT: Mirrorless, FF, Interchangeable lens camera :)

I think it will be Sony, but I wish it was Ricoh (they have about the time to wake up or just find another hobby) with a new GXR and M-mount FX module.
 
Isn't the SONY out already? The RX1? But it's not interchangeable of lens, right? or no? I am but dimly informed.

That would be nice. Ricoh have a talent for suddenly releasing stuff that is spectacular in a silent way, like the GR, GR-D and GXR which all are much-praised on this forum. And, they have Pentax patents and designs at their disposal now :)

Yet, I find the deafening silence in the Nikon / Canon camp currently going on very suspicious. Those manufacturers in the past have put a lot of their assets into DSLR manufacture and it might cost them dearly to alter that... Either their R&D departments are desperately grappling for anything that will break the CSC hegemony, or they are not paying attention at all and will let it all slide until they crash and burn, which I find very hard to believe.
 
The new Leica M (240) is the first Live View, interchangeable lens, full frame camera without a reflex viewfinder mirror.

Of course, it also has a coupled optical/mechanical rangefinder.
 
The 1996 Leica S1 was a mirrorless full-frame (actually more than full-frame, 36mm x 36mm) camera with interchangeable lens mount, albeit with a scanning back rather than a sensor.

Otherwise the M9, RX1 and M Typ 240, as others noted, depending on whether your definition of "mirrorless" includes live view and/or interchangeable lens mounts.
 
Sony... the RX1 will follow with an Interchangeable body...
They have the head start at the moment on N/C.... Shame also...

Since the M9 is already out... and that was the 1st FF Mirrorless,
The OP'r must mean with Liveview also..
So my thinking was that it must have LiveView also,

The real question is if any of these have smile detection?

I would also like open double-eyelid detection.

Or closed single-eyelid the trigger.

Other than that I would enjoy an FF r-d2 with the same design as 1.

But I think after Leica, Sony is going to follow with a NEX-X since it lags behind on the X versions.
