It is interesting that your brother and law said it "wasn't like any camera
he'd ever seen before." 99.99% of news and event photography is done today
with digital SLRs, which look just like film SLRs with motor drives, and
which I assume are familiar to your brother in law. Apparently, the
photographer in question was using something else.
I am not aware of any camera that makes simultaneous film and digital
images. My guess, as yours, would be that it was a medium-format body with
a digital back. Did your brother in law see any brand names on the
equipment?
Best regards,
