Yeah, Samsungs plan is a new lens mount with short registration to Make the cameras and lenses smaller, but it would still be possible To make these type cameras that used standard PK lenses, they wouldn't Be as thin as what Samsung is planning but you would have the advantage Of no need for mirror or prism and get live view all the time which Would easily permit video too.

"and a new lens mount" (according to Samsung words in that interview). That's not surprising as the register distance will be shorter than that of K bayonet.
