They may well be able to spit out a sensor in short time, the question is will it be as good and as polished as those produced by companies who have been optimising similar technologies for decades, I suspect not. I don't subscribe to your suggestion "The production side of technology is really not an issue.", of course it is, why do you think companies often specialize in certain types of semiconductor device production. But you are correct, it's all conjecture regarding Samsung at this point however the fact is that they have not marketed any sensors APS sized or above such as the entrenched and proven players in the industry. So the best policy is not to present your speculation as if it's fact.
