No idea how legit, and sounds more like speculation than rumor, but I hope there's something to it. And Thom's reasonably connected, so maybe there's something here. The only thing that would make the RX1 better to me would be a 24 or 28mm lens with a few bits of Nikon's interface (auto-ISO more than anything). If Nikon did it, it would be worth a serious look. I doubt the lens would be up to the standard of the Zeiss in the RX1, but the Nikon A lens is no slouch, so if it's to that standard, I'll at least be interested.

Could just be smoke, but I hope there's some fire there... Time will tell.

Its got my interest.
There is one reason I haven't bought a RX1 - price.
The other desire about the RX1 is it would be good if the lens was more compact.
But its a big ask to have the lens IQ and compact. Don't we want it all??
 
Just came across this thread by chance whilst in the Nikon section of this forum (I was looking for the 135mm Ai thread).

Imagine if this camera actually came out? Maybe a FF Ricoh GR and Leica CL in response? Probably not, but you never know. I do know though that a FF Coolpix A would have shot out of the stores.
