I'd generally prefer a 35mm equivalent but was thinking that 50 would basically give unprecedented DOF control in this (size) class of camera.
Would be interesting for sure, and I would definitely buy it.
A year or two ago, this would have been considered impossible to make. However, the LX3, S90, and RX100 have each taken a step beyond was had been done in terms of speed for a given body size and format size, so I believe this concept RX50 to be possible.
In a heart beat. But then my favorite carry-camera is my Ricoh GRD. so using a fast prime lens is familiar and happy to me

Probably yes. But a 35mm equivalent would make it a definite yes.
A 35mm equivalent would be interesting... A 10mm (28mm equivalent) f2.8 lens, this sensor and the Ricoh GRD control system would be lovely though.
Definitely. But I preferred a 40mm equivalent focal length...
nope, would need to be a 35 or 28, then yes...
...I still think 35mm would be far more useful for general use. Yes, you'd have more depth-of-field control with a 50, but it's just a bit too tight for my personal tastes.
I'd definitely consider a 35mm f1.4 IS version of this.
