Samsung NX10 Finally Announced!

This is pretty big news in the camera world. Samsung has finally lifted the veil on their new NX10 and dpreview.com has a 12-page preview. So what’s so special about this little badboy? The fact that’s it’s SO little. We’re talking a 4/3rds format competitor here. It’s even slightly smaller than the Panasonic G1. But unlike the small sensors of the 4/3rds and micro 4/3rds cameras offered by Panasonic and Olympus, the NX10 sports a 14.1 megapixel APS-C CMOS sensor (much larger sensor than the 4/3rds format). It’s going to be very interesting to see how this camera performs.

Here are the key features of the Samsung NX10, as listed on dpreview.com

• 15.1 Megapixel APS-C CMOS sensor (presumed to be close relation to Pentax K7 sensor)
• 14.6 million effective pixels
• New Samsung NX mount (25.5mm flange-back distance)
• 720P movie capture (H.264, 30 fps)
• Contrast-detect autofocus
• 3.0″ AMOLED screen (614,000 dots, PenTile RGB array)
• 921k dot Electronic Viewfinder
• 30mm F2 pancake and 18-55mm standard zoom options
