As we all know Sony will announce the NEX_7 with built-in Viewfinder by end of August. And it looks like they will be NOT the only one doing so! According to the leaked information (in Chinese forums) the NX will also have a built-in OLED viewfinder! It has a radical new design, handling and styling.
We expect the NX200 to be announced in September!!!
P.S.: Olympus PEN Pro with built-in EVF will not be announced this year.

I’ve bought some pop-corn and waiting 🙂
I think Samsung is developing a VERY nice system. Their lens lineup is well thought out (the only thing is I wish the 60mm macro was f2 so it could double as a portrait lens), the lenses have so far been terrific, and have been good value. They’ll soon have three pancakes: the 20mm, the 30mm, and an upcoming 16mm. I suspect the NX200 is going to have a much improved sensor. If they also offer a built-in evf- this could end up being a really nice camera. Can’t wait!
If we dont take in consideration body dimensions/sizes (NX200 = compact body, NX20 = faux DSLR body) and built-in flash (NX XX line) what will be the major distinctions between models? What do you think?
I am asking because maybe i will take NX200 (instead of postponed NX20). I presume that both models will share the same innards (sensor, image processor, functionality). Maybe NX20 will be capable of higher burst rate? bigger memory cache? Advanced EVF?

VERY interesting indeed.
@Samsung: why no love? why so few leaks? it’s kind’a boring to follow you.
As said before NX11 and NX100 are discontinued. I can’t imagine a company like Samsung to discontinue products without any replacement for a 6 months period…that is just impossible.
This is a great news if the coming new NX body has and improved EVF. I love my NX10 and I just wish EVF and magnification are improved as I only use manual lenses. My NX10 is just a joy to use. It is brilliant. I hope the new bodies keep the same ergonomics. I LOVE BUTTONS!!!!!!!!
I can’t wait to see how this NX200 will perform against the coming NEX7. Depending on that…I will finally decided in which system I am.
Some sort of convergence of the giants on to the battle field. Do we see a similarity emerging between Sony and Samsung products?
Surely the NX20 will continue the very useful NX10 faux dslr shape and for the NX200 to have a built in ovf it surely must follow the rangefinder shape. If this remains the Samsung “Style” camera we might expect it to continue to look more “modern” and glossy.
If the NX10 was their “Classic” then the NX20 must surely be a reworked NX10 only.
This leaves us with their foreshadowed “Classic+”, common thought was atnit might have been a “super-NX10” to professional build standards. It may well be. However perhaps a “Classic+” is really a close clone of the Leica Rangefinder paradigm.
So with Ricoh’s M mount module in the offing, Fuji’s X100 here and moves in the same direction by both Sony and Samsung it might be understandable that Leica might be shuffling it’s feet.
Furthermore there is a perennial squawking for a nice big bright ovf and I presume that the quite expensive and quite awkward clip on evf units have not actually been a runaway sales success.
NX11 is new, and is being promoted as new at retail outlets, so its not discontinued, although we all know its an NX10 with a new skin! NX200 is exciting, aps-c in a small body with evf and a proper lens line, well so they are promising too, we’ll see. Honestly Id be happy with 14.6 mpx and much better video, again the new 16-80 and 18-200 are apparently silent video capable lens, exciting times if it ever happens.
Hmm…I’ve been very strongly considering an NX100 (sooo cheap now on eBay) simply because the lens lineup is the best of all the mirrorless systems (much better than the garbage Sony currently has). An NX100 with a 20/2.8 pancake would fit nicely in my camera bag. But now I have to wait til September because I’ll never forgive myself if I buy one and the NX200 turns out to be a Fuji X100 competitor!
I hope it’s like the Leica styled body in the picture full of prototypes, and if they fix the jello effect during live view, and it has IQ close to the NEX 5 I’ll be getting one.
Enjoy your nex while you can. Sony just announced that their shares are way down and they’ve been bleeding money for years.Atthis rate maybe Minolta will buy back their camera division from Sony and continue to make good products they wont support.
Recently i got the nx10 for 299 usd and iam really enjoying this camera, even more so than my nx100, though the 100 also has its place in my camera bag. Walking around down-town with the nx10 and the 20-50mm [ nx100 lens] on it was real a joy to carry around. I even saw a young woman .who was a tourist from korea carry the same camera and lens around her neck. The Samsung nx is an underrated system imo and im waiting to see how much better the nx200 will be.This could be a really sweet affordable street digital camera. Also, if Samsung can release a couple more nice primes, like a 40mm 1.4, 60mm f2, 105mm f2.8, there is no telling where this system could go. i used to use a canon prosumer dlsr but i sold it because i didnt want to handle a brick anymore. Dont get me wrong, i like canon cameras and their lenses, but the days of walking around with a brick of a camera for me are all over.
The above mentioned website, it is not talked about NX200 have built-in EVF?
Just say nothing EVF NX system.
yeah, Admin, i read chinese as well, i think the translated page is giving you false info.
i didn’t see any built in EVF info as well
