The guys from Whatdigitalcamera had a small talk with Samsung. In short those are the key news:
– Samsung will make a 700mm NX lens (which should be released in 2012)
– Samsung says that the mirrorless will surpass the DSLR market in 2015
– Samsung produced 18million lenses in 2010 (really so many?)
– Samsung will release a Super High Definition 4K video camera within 2013
As usual Samsung has big goals but until now the NX sales are very low compared to the more popular Micro Four Thirds and NEX systems. The lens roadmap looks very good but in my opinion they need better sensors and third party lens makers to join NX. Hey Schneider where are your NX lenses?

18mio lenses? 17mio of them are in smartphones, i tink!
ehm…Schneider joined MFT, i have a feeling they are ditching samsung
I don’t get some of the announced lenses.. They are absolutely HUGE on the NX bodies, makes little sense to me, at least they don’t make lenses as bad as Sony (for NEX like the 16mm)…
I’m sure Samsung “manufactured” 18 million lenses , but I think most of them are still in Samsung’s warehouse
