A micro four-thirds competitor already?
Micro four thirds is still vaporwave, and it seems there is already a competitor.
Samsung is introducing what they seem to be calling a “hybrid” camera system - in other words the “EVIL” (Electronic Viewfinder Interchangeable Lens) system we’ve all been drooling over (hopefully!). Not much said about specs/lenses - hopefully they will at least have a model aiming at a higher level “advanced amateur” feature set rather than the “bridge” market (the folks going from a compact to SLR).
However what makes this really interesting is the fact that Samsung SLRs use the venerable “K” mount. If they somehow preserved the mount compatibility with this new system that would be *huge*. Imagine a compact, mirrorbox-less body that was compatible with K mount lenses… drool… of course now then I would absolutely *kick* myself for selling off my DA LTD primes 
It’s just an interesting thought, unfortunately I suspect they will likely *not* be using the K mount (registration distances on SLR lenses and all that). But it’s certainly within the realm of possibility.
