If this ever had potential it was like 10 years ago before the entire commercial market completely changed to digital. But of coarse it was impossible then just like now. They tried according to the above article but it wasn't technically possible. Only then would people do what you are describing but I think its way late.
Not only is the tech not developed yet but nobody would be interested in developing it because its updating retro tech for no reason and with no real commercial market. You are saying possibly maybe some people might decide to start using their old 35mm again just because of this? Thats not enough and the potential market is still puny. How much do you think it would cost in the end? Probably like $2000+ considering the development and marketing costs, too much for average users. It is already at a dead end hypothetically. Totally un-practical and un-feasable.
The X100 is a fully digital camera with a hybrid viewfinder, it just looks like a nice old 35mm. The GF670 is a medium format camera, medium format is in a world of its own and can't be compared to 35mm, we're talking professionals with a substantial investment in gear and quality. 35mm is ultimately a consumer level product, it just happens to be a decent quality for some pros.

- for the record, I'd way rather drop 2k+ on this than 7k plus on an M9.ben_
