According to the Korean magazine “ddaily” the NX20 and the NX200 development almost finished. Both cameras will feature a new Samsung sensor. There are no detailed specs about the sensor although we from MirrorlessRumors “heard” that it will be be close to the 20 Megapixels. The Design of the cameras will be close to the current NX10/11 and NX100 cameras.
Reminder: Samsung already announced that they will release the 18-200mm, 16mm, 60mm Macro, 85mm/f1.4 and 16-80mm lenses within 2011.

and next year we will see the nx30 with 30mp?
i don`t understand the market….
The market is unfortunately driven by people who think better equipment is the end all be all. Why do you think so many people lust after Leicas? People just dont want “good enough lenses”, they want the best, they dream of the best..the more MP, finest lenses man can make, and a camera body with a tank build that can cook you an egg in 1 minute. Just look online and you will see boatloads of people who do nothing but talk about how sharp lenses are at the corners. They think if they have the sharpest photo in the world, somehow, that means their photo must also be great.In one word…men and women are vain.the photographic industry is equivalent to the make-up industry for women.Most people dont see cameras as a tool anymore. they see them as a fashion accessory, a status symbol, a comfort pillow to make them feel better about their own image. Photography is a visual form of art, the king of visual art is and will always be painting and drawing…but has anyone ever heard painters talking about how sharp the corners of a painting are?
If the rumor is correct, this is very unfortunate and will help other vendors to succeed (anyway Samsung cameras are so hard to find in stores or even online, that this should not hurt much)
please remain the MP at 15 as before, but make it a better sensor with more detail and lower noise.
That’s what need to be improved.
for NX100, i would say the built-in flash will make an easier choice to decide for new customer.
Less noise would be enough for me to spring for a Samsung. I don’t need more pixels, I need better high ISO performance.
I would prefer a 12MP low noise sensor like the new Fujifilm X100.
own a gf1; not that impressed with max usable iso in spite of all the fanfare of the past 2 years. if ISO on this new sensor goes to 3200 and the price is right (gf1/2-epl2 range) will consider jumping systems. is it possible to open up a k-7 and stick this new sensor inside…?
Hey, I’m definitely with all of you in favoring image quality over pixel resolution, but remember that the 18mp D7000 has better image quality than any of the 12mp APS-C cameras. Just because you theoretically COULD get better IQ with less pixel density doesn’t mean you necessarily will. If the higher-res sensors happen to be where the sensor engineers are sprinkling their latest R&D pixie dust, those will probably perform better than the older sensors overall despite the pixel size disadvantage. So you can say it’s a definite waste in terms of file size, because barely anyone actually needs that resolution these days, but you can’t say it’s a loss of performance, because the hypothetical better-performing 12mp sensor doesn’t and probably won’t exist.
