Pointless IHMO. Even if they'd release it at Photokina - it wouldn't be any good as FF camera without any cheap lenses you can connect is just a mistake. Lens-less system? or only through adapters?

DSLR body like, lighter, cheaper and smaller than 5D/D700. May a EVIL FF could be the “nemesis” of the medium/high amateurs DSLR like 7D/D300/5D/D700.

If they built the lenses first and later worried about the body samsung could do great. But, they wouldnt, they would release there full frame lenses with the pro body, just a few of them, making it useless.

Going full hog into a new unproven samsung system COULD be amazing, but dont forget, no used lenses, no discontinued lenses, no sales. Everything would be minty new, hard to get a hold of, waiting lists for the first year if its a hit or maybe longer. Tough luck samsung id say. interesting, except if its a NX10 style body then i rather just get a d700.. sure it weights a decent amount more but its a proven system with a legacy of lenses that are top notch.

The image quality of NX10 is not superior enough to fight against Canon and Nikon. So in a technical sense, Samsung still have a long path to convince the consumer that her camera product is worthwhile to be loyal to. The reason of making such statement is because we know that Sony makes same sensor for A900 and Nikon D3X but the image quality is obviously dominate by Nikon not Sony. This is interesting to see that a sensor manufacturer might not be the best one to utilize the hardware. If Samsung learnt from this experience, she should know what to do with her own product. A better algorithm should be developed rather than chasing higher specification in resolution. Of course, this is good to see another mirrorless FF system to come (if it is true). The market is just suffered from the physical bottle neck of making higher resolution sensor. We are expecting more full frame to come and push the APS-C and M4/3 sensor more popular that simulate the migration to the compact DC.

If there is any company that could spend R&D dollars on developing an insane full-frame EVIL camera, it would be Samsung. On another note, if Samsung does indeed launch a number of mirrorless system cameras by the end of 2010, I wouldn't be surprised to see Samsung take 3rd place in the overall DSLR/EVIL sales rankings within the next 2 yrs.

To succeed in the market t would require a quantum leap improvement in EVF and AF performance, both being better than in the current DSLR's, as there would be only a marginal advantage in size (none in the case of lenses) Too early.
