We've had sensor rotation since 1998 and never had issues with that. I've tried the new mechanism and there's no way the sensor can move.This does look interesting. Like the Verto Sensor rotation concept. If it keeps the sensor in register, that makes for a very nice use option. Looks good with the 45-degree viewfinder.
O.K., have to ask the other question......is this a newer, higher res LCD also? Like the size, and am hoping it has indoor/outdoor readability with high resolution.

Yair, the technical camera application is not of small importance. Being able to rotate the sensor will be a huge aid. I absolutely hate removing the back to alter the format ... in the pressure ridden hub-bub of a commercial studio shoot, removing a back to rotate it is a dangerous time.Thank you Stuart, the responses we're getting so far (less than a day...) are quite overwhelming!
Surely a new format for some people may sounds like an awkward choice, but this 56mm, 14:9 sensor, in my opinion, opens up some interesting visual opportunities.
On 56mm bodies (645, 66, 67) you get to practically use the actual focal length of the lenses.
Shooting a 4:3 image, you still get approx. 50MP
For Large format users (product, architecture, landscape) it give more coverage with wide lenses and more stitching options, either for panoramic views or for square 56mm (think about a 56mm square image shot with let's say ALPA MAX and a digitar 47XL. 3 stitched images and we're already in 6X7 territory...
There are more technological innovations on this sensor that will be revealed at photokina, which are going to make it even more attractive.

Since the Volare days, we've always had the intention of bringing this feature back (reminding you that the Volare's most popular platform was the Sinar P2).Yair, the technical camera application is not of small importance.
