Could this be part of the Samsung Partnership?
And the rumors that Olympus is going to introduce a radical change in the m4/3 line?

Interesting design, although I would prefer to see an actual production model. It would be nice if they can figure out a way to marry the portability of the m4:3 format to the ruggedness and professional versatility of the pro medium/"SLR" format.

I suppose the Pro Pen has evolved to this concept. If they can make it compact, rugged, weather resistant/sealed, and eminently usable with an impressive arsenal of lenses, I'm all in!

I really like square concept with an attachable prism if wanted, and the swivel/tilt LCD on the side, NOT the back....

Although Samsung has shown a 36x36 sensor for a similar looking box...

Maybe more Leica Style Body...

look at mock ups below

It'll be expensive.

It better deliver than....... NO Consumer crap... NO ART filters (I can hear the backlash already

),

Multi Spot metering like the long forgotten OM3/4.. what a great meter with Off The Film metering too!!
Tethering to LightRoom, and Capture One via remote radio control device, or built in...
Aspect correcting sensor like the GH2
Weather Sealing... basic, in case you get splashed with water at the aquarium,, or so you can take it to the beach or lake...or shoot in the rain or snow...
Up to 30 frames of RAW before it locks up to write them.
