Yesterday I had my hands on Samsung NX mini. It will be definitely the smallest interchangeable lens camera currently on the market. It will feature:
– 1 inch BSI CMOS sensor 20.2MPx (probably the same as Sony RX10 / RX100M2)
– no build in flash
– menu doesn’t look like android at all
– now mount and 3 lenses (2 wide angle primes + kit)
– 180 degrees tilt screen (touch screen)
– electronic shutter 1/6000s
– will be available in: pink, mint, white, leather like brown and black color
From what i heard it will be launched within a month
Well if the rumor is correct this could become a nice system! A real compact system camera that fits in your pocket, with RX100 image quality and the unique advantage of having a lens mount.
What do you think, will Samsung succeed?
P.S.: The image on top shows the leaked name of the new camera: Samsung NXF1?

Interesting only if existig nx lenses can be adapted to work with it with af/aperture control.
And good if samsung finally uses sony’s sensors! They should do that also for aps-c cameras.
I don’t see the point in another Nikon 1/Pentax Q like experiment…
There’s plenty of room to improvements in body size while keeping the size of the sensor and the lens mount the same, like the Panasonic GM1. Something like that paired with pancake lenses is small enough to fit in a pocket; and you still have the choice to use bigger and brighter lenses if you want to.
