This will never happen, but I think there's a solid business in selling a mirrorless which adapts solidly to all the dSLR mounts.
A-mount is big here. Sony dropped support here first, and the LA-EA adapters all have significant issues. Even today, in many cases, Sony mirrorless adapts better to Canon than to Sony A-mount.
Eating up other mounts would be big too. K-mount customers wanting to go mirrorless. Nikon and Canon would be big too, obviously.
That would open several markets:
- People looking to switch
- People wanting to use esoteric lenses (e.g. Minolta's 500mm f/8 reflex, STF lenses, some of the neater tilt-shifts, etc.)
- Less profitable, people wanting to use cheaper used lenses
In the long term, most people will switch to native lenses, eventually, as lens technology moves on too.
