A german dealer claims the following is official information:

Sounds great. I'll consider it when a D or DS2 based one appears,
because of the viewfinder. Although I'm not sure if 9MP will really be
that different from the current 6...

I concur with those points. I might accept a "DL-build" camera if it
were 10 megapixels or more. I might accept a 9 megapixel camera if it
had the build of the ist-D. I wouldn't consider this camera unless it
was really inexpensive. (Who knows?)

It could be 5fps if they design the support electronics to handle that: the sensor certainly can. I somehow don't think that a *ist-bodied, 9Mp, 5fps camera will be very cheap...

Still, this thing is a hell of a start considering the partnership was
only announced in October. They must have has a lot of preliminary work
done, but it's still impressive.

Yes.

Samsung is a big league player and capable of very short
design-to-production cycles. I'm looking forward to more!

The monochrome version? Or the 14Mp full-frame? Cypress has the chips ;-)
