This image is a leak for a GLOBAL SHUTTER MEDIUM FORMAT SENSOR combined video/stills camera that records DCI 16k video at up to 120 fps 2:1 RAW and 178.98 megapixels via 3:2 aspect ratio stills at 60 fps burst rate full 16-bit RAW with 3D-XYZ Depth Map and other metadata!
These are the ACTUAL current camera specifications as of January 2021 based upon an actual working PRODUCTION MODEL (i.e. is NOT just a prototype!)
BIG COMBINED STILLS/VIDEO CAMERA REVEAL:

3:2 aspect ratio with 16,384 by 10,924 active pixels
at 3.4 microns per photosite
Recording up to DCI 16K Video and
Stills Image Capture at 178,979,816 pixels
or 178.98 Megapixels
Uses a GLOBAL SHUTTER SENSOR!
Recording Video and Stills at:
up to 4:4:4:4 Full RAW and Interframe/Intraframe
compressed video and still image file formats
at up to 16 bits per channel
(64-bit RGBA/YCbCrA/YCCA colour!)
Has Infrared 3D Depth/Distance map
used for 3D object and environment scanner.
Has all Lens Metadata saved as separate
channel into all video and stills files
AND 3D-XYZ GPS + Camera Orientation, all
current Lens Data and Timecode/Date/Clock Time
saved FOR EVERY SINGLE FRAME!
All Video and Stills are ENCRYPTED on
save and export/external output for
best data security! (Triple-AES 768-bit)
File Password Set/Open is via camera, external app,
phone, smartcard or combination of all four !!!
Two HDMI and TWO DisplayPort outputs are
fully CLEAN at up to DCI 8K 60 fps. Uses latest
versions of HDMI 2.1/DisplayPort 2.0 specs to
support 8K 60 fps+!
4-channel 192 KHz, 24-bit Audio PCM

Uses Best quality 32-bit ADC/DAC for
super-high quality video AND audio input/output
and 32-bit DSP throughout the recording/playback chain !
Uses latest TWO large format USB-4 ports
at latest specifications for Ethernet-over-USB
connections for up to DCI 8K 60 fps RAW and
compressed 120 fps!

Internal Thermal Fluid Liquid Cooling System and
Built-in Heat Sink for 24/7/365 continuous daily
operation with NO overheating!
Has TWO custom fibre optic connectors for
16K 120 fps Full RAW RGBA/YCBCrA/YCCA
video and Stills live export at 200 Gbits/per
Secon using latest 400 Gbits Ethernet 802.3cm (100 metres fibre)
and 802.3cn (40 km single mode fibre) standards
Stills Burst Rate and Video Capture Frame Rates:
DCI 16K = 120 fps using 2:1 RAW or 60 fps Full 4:4:4:4 RAW
DCI 8K = 960 fps using 2:1 RAW
DCI 4K = 3840 fps using 2:1 RAW
DCI 2K = 15,360 fps using 2:1 RAW
DCI 1K = 61,440 fps using 2:1 RAW

(I understand this camera has HUUUUUGE RAM buffers to support
the 200 GBits/sec compression and data transfer rates required for
FULL RAW output to a RAID-based SSD setup!)
Price has been CONFIRMED to be $7999 USD
No information on lenses other than Cinema-quality 35mm, a 50mm, an 85mm, a 135mm, prime and a 70-to-200mm zoom and a 100mm to 650mm zoom and a 2X extender are being introduced at the same time as the camera.
8mm fisheye, 10mm, 12mm, 14mm, 16mm and 24mm wide primes and a set of 200mm, 300mm, 400mm, 600mm, 800mm and a specialty 1200mm telephotos will come later along with some Tilts Shifts. No specific timeline was outlined on the wide primes, big telephotos or tilt-shifts.
The app noted within the screen capture below is from Summer 2019 and has been updated to reflect both the VIDEO AND STILLS capabilities of the camera itself.
Playback, File handing and Import/Export Plug-ins for General Purpose Windows Presentation Foundation (WPF) filters/drivers, Blackmagic Resolve, Adobe Suite, Apple Final Cut Pro and Other video and stills editing programs are to be introduced at same time as camera.
Looks pretty SWEET TO ME!

P.S. Am VERY CURIOUS to see how this compares to upcoming Sony and Fuji product reveals coming during the week of Jan 25, 2021 !!!
P.S.2. A second set of documents is to be released sometime soon after Jan 27, 2021 showing actual technical documentation for this product. I will update and post to this forum as soon as I get those docs!
