I see no evidence that Samsung is even remotely interested in the pro market. Look at their P&S line up and you can see what type of market it is aiming at. Do you see any G9 type of camera?
To get to the top three in 2 years (their target), going FF is not the way. They need a strong foothold in the entry and mid level. Once they become established, they may go for "halo" product like FF. Even then, I think they would be more interested in making an EVIL camera (electronic viewfinder with interchangeable lens) or camera with HD video/GPS/WiFi/Phone/MP3.... the whole works rather than FF
