The naked NX20
Photorumors reports that at least three new Samsung NX models will arrive before the summer:
Samsung NX210 will be the same as the NX200 but with added Wi-Fi capabilities, available in April 2012
Samsung NX20, available in May 2012
Samsung NX1000 will be a cheaper NX model, available in May, 2012
As you may remind one of our sources told us that the NX20 has a retro design with 1.8M EVF, manual control and swivel amoled display. It has the same NX-200 sensor but a better processor and buffer. The retail stores price is $950 only body for NX-20. There will be two new lenses, the 16-80mm and 12-24mm and a new Flash.
I am really curious to see that camera!

I guess the number of comments is indicative of the interest in the Samsung product!
That’s not a beautiful camera to go retro on. And Samsung is now official the EVIL/mirrorless maker with the worst sensor after Olympus moved to 16mp.
Not really. The latest 20MP sensor is excellent and on par with the best APS-C sensors.
I wished Samsung was doing better because their lenses Roadmap is pretty good, way better than Sony’s.
People complained a lot about NX200’s buffer and processing lag and that even though IQ is quite good, it’s annoying to use.
They need to focus in some area that they can exceed in something because sales don’t seem very good.
If the rumors about IBIS turn out to be true, then NX system will be a much better prospect. At the moment, Samsung is just making up the (mirrorless) numbers, there’s nothing to differentiate them.
NX200 has an excellent sensor, but slow processor. And if NX20 will be faster than NX200 is a very good news for me. I wish NX20 will have less aggressive AA filter than NX200. And as for a retro design, I guess it will more sexy than fuji XPRO 1.
This has been rumored quite a number of times now, but will it ever happen?
yes…it has been rumored since august last year, which i suddenly realize is about half a year ago now. man how time flies by.
NX200 styled body + EVF + Tilting AMOLED screen + better compressed RAW file sizes + built in flash + already existing 16/20/30 pancakes + rumoured 55/1.8 pancake= NEX/m43 killer
And hopefully real focus peaking for legacy lenses!
Could be a brilliant camera.
Could be a Fuji killer too, at 950….
NX20 with with full magnesium NX11 styled body, two metal control dials, Articulating amoled screen, 20MP, Capable of taking still shots during video recording, Just personal preferences anyway.
I hope it would be less noisy. Was reading a review of the nx200 and although iq is really good, high iso is just ok. At around 1600, the ‘visible’ resolution of the nx200 is on par with the 16mp gx1, and at higher iso, it is worse because of strong NR.
Yea, better high-ISO performance and getter Jpeg processing seems very important at the moment for mirrorless cameras. Its all about the competition.
Samsung needs to go for a reasonable price to gain a huge market share. The others are just going crazy with prices, the market is way overheated. So they just call the price and collect. With more and more variety of cameras on the market this will not be possible any more.
