Spotted on Engadget - oooo looky here, a couple of CSC bodies, some funny looking lenses, and ... wait, what? What looks like a Samsung digital medium format body?

This photo was quietly inserted into a blog post from Sammy about lens design, without so much as a caption to clarify what our curious eyes were seeing. Might this be a future model meant to compete in the highest-ends of the digital camera market? Or is it something cooked up in the lab and abandoned for a more practical and mainstream design? There was a rumor kicking around last summer that Samsung was working on a medium format CMOS sensor and this could be a test rig for just such a slice of silicon.

Hmmm....

Hmmm indeed.

I try not to pay attention to rumours, but the possibilities are interesting.

I'm looking forward to the press release that starts: "Building on their success in conventional SLR and mirrorless compact cameras..."

(possibly said just a little tongue-in-cheek.)
