The Download Center from Samsung already had the NX20 and NX200 in the database since weeks! But finally a trusted source told us when we will see the new Samsung camera for real! We expect Samsung to announce them between July 11 and 17! Both cameras should feature the new 18 megapixel sensor. We got a few tidbits about the NX200. It should have 1080i60 recording but without full manual control (much like Panasonic G3).
P.S: Some new sources told to me the NX20 could be announced later (take that with a grain of salt).

Well,
sounds interesting. I gonna wait with the G3 purchase, because when NX20 kicks asses, i could be tempted just to let my E-P1+20/1.7 funcake and for more advanced shootings to switch to the NX20+30/2+50/200+20/50+16/2.4. Would actually be as costy as a G3+45/200+12/2 thanks to the bargain lenses of the Samsung NX System.
I wonder is the NX200 are the leica x1 like camera more. I’m waiting ~
One of prototypes looked so, but who knows what NX200 turn out to be? It would be tempting for users as me to offer them someting with many buttons and dials. They also said NX20 should undergo a facelift – how much and how much damaging?
EP3 is pricey for me when compare quatilty/price ratio. Hope that 2nd NX generation offer great value as the first did.
If they do it right I’m ready to sell my micro 4/3 … and for right I mean leica style. But we know it will not happen 🙂
But this is next week!
Even if they would announce only NX200, it would suffice for people to dissects IQ of the new Samsung sensor.
Any news on the 85mm and 16mm lenses?
What about the NX1?
What about 60 mm macro lens?
Could your “source” tell us something more about it?
I don’t understand when comapanies don’t offer full manual control on their cameras for certain settings. Isn’t it just a matter of firmware and not /that/ much of a hardware issue? It’s like they’re restricting controls for certain things because they want their camera to stay in a certain “class,” but all that does is take away features that make it a better camera.
But anyway, I really hope Samsung pulls off this new sensor and design, and camera overall!
This is exactly who the market operatoes. More features sell for more, less features are sold for less. That’s why there are different classes of cameras. I’m sure you understand this, you just don’t like it.
Currently, the only hope NX20 and NX200 sensor signal to noise performance than the previous sensor, a significant improvement.
And a new image processor.
Compared to their counterparts in Japan, the two seem very different.
Samsung camera’s performance at high ISO values??, has been ridiculed by proponents of other systems.
Other specifications are also unsightly feeling.
I hope they cure the jello effect in the live view, that alone killed the NX100(the NX15 had it too)for me, A drop in noise would be very welcome too.
I’d be very happy if it can match the Nex 5 IQ.
Next week?
How come we don’t know a thing about how they look like?
I guess they are learning a thing or two from Apple.
The nx200 should be affordable..that’s my guess. I cant see Samsung charging silly prices like the olympus ep2 and sony nex5. As for Sony, forget about the nex system. To this date,the system still has 3 lenses. an average pancake, a kit zoom, and a bazooka sized expensive megazoom. And i dont care about their talk of Zeiss lens this and Zeiss that..most people cant afford it and wont pay those prices anyways. As for Panasonic, theyve been shooting themselves inthe csc market since introducing the gf2.The gf3 takes it further to noobdom-land and no one will buy that camera except soccer moms.then there is olympus, they seem to think that with their smaller sensor they can charge roughly about a grand for their ep3.They arent even third place aftr canon and nikon and yet they think theyre in the same company.As for the users of samsung nx series..take what you can get now..cause someday if their system gains traction and popularity, you wont see affordable prices for their cameras like we have seen so far. I do hope they succeed, and still maintain good affordability with good I.Q. IMO all Samsung has to do is stick a better sensor in it and make the camera a little quicker and it will be good enough for me. their lenses are very good, good enough.
