PMA 2009 was the global launching pad for the new Samsung NX Series, a revolutionary new family of hybrid digital cameras. A new concept digital camera, the NX Series offers the performance and image quality of a DSLR and the portability and convenience of a compact point-and-shoot.

Samsung’s new NX Series bridges the gap between a DSLR and compact point-and-shoot digital camera by combining the benefits of both in one new model. Like conventional DSLRs, the NX Series utilizes an APS C sized image sensor providing a much larger surface area to gather light and produce higher-quality images than comparable digital camera systems. Unlike a DSLR, the NX Series does not feature a mirror box and employs an ultra-precise Electronic Viewfinder (EVF). The use of an EVF has allowed Samsung engineers to significantly reduce the size and weight of the new camera system by decreasing the distance between the lens and image sensor (flange back) by approximately 60% compared to traditional DSLRs. In addition to utilizing the EVF, consumers can also take advantage of the camera’s Live View functionality to frame their shots on the NX Series’ high resolution screen.
The first model of the NX Series will be available in the second half of 2009

2009-03-03 03:12:58.0This is one of the most innovative design in camera industry. Lenses (variety, quality and availability things might be better if it's compatible with G1 lenses) will be very important in samsung's bold move. It would be a huge leap if it could be used with samsung dslr lenses but looks impossible. The design is promising I hope samsung will release the spec's soon.
