Turns out the rumor was fake. Samsung UK denied any Nikon acquisition of NX system. 
Also, Samsung US has said they won't be pulling out of camera business. 
What happened to the claim that EOSHD doesn't post rumors? That's two rumors in a month, both false

A short stint for tiny market. ​But now there are many mirrorless cameras and dedicated camcorders with large sensors, which weren't around in 2008, 
 People overestimate the significance of DSLR for video market. This remains a very tiny (probably insignificant percentage error level) market. 
DSLR remains primarily a photo camera.

Overexpose it a bit if it's noisy? You can bring it down later in post.

Too many pixels to do full sensor readout at 30 fps.  The video camera only needs 12 MP for 4K like A7s.  It's a conflict between still and video requirment. 
 
There will always be cameras that target still photographers i(50MP in a couple of years, if not next year). 
 
You can't expect Nikom to give up still customers. 

As far as I know, Red and Sony have never been involved in  litigation/negotiation  until this year 2013 after RED  (not Sony) sued F55, F5 and F65 for using compressed RAW. Sony counter sued in response claiming three patent violation. 
 
Big sensor video revolution happened as a natural followup to the use of CMOS sensors in DSLRs and simply advances in producing faster and cheaper electronics that can process that data and record it to faster cards.. This would have happened regardless even if no such company called Red existed. 
 
These advances will continue until in few years even cell phones would do 4K video. When that happens some people are going to say, look we will never have 4K on cellphones without Red, but of course that would be nonsense..It would be simply a result of cheaper and faster electronics and cheaper and faster with larger capacities flash memory cards, regardless if Red existed or not. 

Large sensor cheap cameras has nothing to do with either Red  (expensive) or Bklackmaji (late to the party). This revolution comes from still camera world, specifically DSLRs. There is no reason to show respect to  for profit "companies"
