Congratulations, you’ve found the WVIL website. As you’ve most likely figured out, the WVIL camera is not a real product, but a Concept Camera envisioned by Artefact's award-winning design team. It answers the question: “what’s next for camera design?”

The WVIL represents Artefact's passion for creativity and strategic vision in the camera space. Learn more about Artefact’s take on the history of photography as well as where it’s going in the future.

The patent-pending WVIL system takes the connectivity and application platform capabilities of today's smart phones and wirelessly connects them with interchangeable full SLR-quality optics. It is the inevitable solution for photographers who expect the power of modern mobile devices but who also demand uncompromised quality.

nope.

heres why

very novelty, no one wants it

31.9 full frame sensor camera of any type (non-existant right now, but...)=$2000+

this=more expensive

only pros/prosumers will pay that much

Its not happening

This, and and just the way the camera market is leaning is these days is just dumb. Small sensor interchangeable lens cameras will NEVER replace the DSLR at a professional level. Yes for consumers their fine, but even pro-sumers/serious enthusiasts, like the majority of members on here, they just aren't the same as using a DSLR.

Also, I skimmed the article/barely read it, but this kinda exists...
