I try not to be misleading when I make a post that contributes to one's understanding on how things work, so I was concerned when you said I need to do my research. I dd. The Canon SX1 has a pathetic, small sensor that is less than 1/2". It is not huge. The sensor in this camera has ten times the surface area of the Canon SX1. ]]>Mar 2nd 2009 12:50PMhttp://www.engadget.com/2009/03/02/samsungs-hybrid-nx-series-camera-point-and-shoot-with-dslr-lik/http://www.engadget.com/2009/03/02/samsungs-hybrid-nx-series-camera-point-and-shoot-with-dslr-lik/Mar 2nd 2009 8:18AMhttp://www.engadget.com/2009/03/02/samsungs-hybrid-nx-series-camera-point-and-shoot-with-dslr-lik/http://www.engadget.com/2009/03/02/samsungs-hybrid-nx-series-camera-point-and-shoot-with-dslr-lik/Mar 2nd 2009 9:55AMhttp://www.engadget.com/2009/03/02/samsungs-hybrid-nx-series-camera-point-and-shoot-with-dslr-lik/http://www.engadget.com/2009/03/02/samsungs-hybrid-nx-series-camera-point-and-shoot-with-dslr-lik/Mar 2nd 2009 10:54AMhttp://www.engadget.com/2009/03/02/samsungs-hybrid-nx-series-camera-point-and-shoot-with-dslr-lik/http://www.engadget.com/2009/03/02/samsungs-hybrid-nx-series-camera-point-and-shoot-with-dslr-lik/Mar 2nd 2009 10:56AMhttp://www.engadget.com/2009/03/02/samsungs-hybrid-nx-series-camera-point-and-shoot-with-dslr-lik/http://www.engadget.com/2009/03/02/samsungs-hybrid-nx-series-camera-point-and-shoot-with-dslr-lik/
It's an excellent EVF. One advantage this EVF has over OVF is that its much much brighter then a normal optical system. This is because it doesn't rely on the light reflected from within the lens to illuminate the viewfinder.]]>Mar 2nd 2009 12:19PMhttp://www.engadget.com/2009/03/02/samsungs-hybrid-nx-series-camera-point-and-shoot-with-dslr-lik/http://www.engadget.com/2009/03/02/samsungs-hybrid-nx-series-camera-point-and-shoot-with-dslr-lik/

I wonder what are the two buttons at the front of this samsung concept? Lense release and DOF preview? May be just a prototype dummy.]]>Mar 2nd 2009 8:35AMhttp://www.engadget.com/2009/03/02/samsungs-hybrid-nx-series-camera-point-and-shoot-with-dslr-lik/http://www.engadget.com/2009/03/02/samsungs-hybrid-nx-series-camera-point-and-shoot-with-dslr-lik/
The button next to the lens looks like a lens detach button, so I guess this means interchangeable lenses. But what mount? That would be the decision-maker/breaker for many.

And you do realize that the Canon SX1 is not the first P&S/compact with a CMOS sensor. Also, from test results, the CMOS sensor on the SX1 doesn't produce images that are comparable to DSLRs, as in not much different from its cheaper cousin, the SX10. Just CMOS does not a good camera make.]]>Mar 2nd 2009 8:36AMhttp://www.engadget.com/2009/03/02/samsungs-hybrid-nx-series-camera-point-and-shoot-with-dslr-lik/http://www.engadget.com/2009/03/02/samsungs-hybrid-nx-series-camera-point-and-shoot-with-dslr-lik/Mar 2nd 2009 4:02PMhttp://www.engadget.com/2009/03/02/samsungs-hybrid-nx-series-camera-point-and-shoot-with-dslr-lik/http://www.engadget.com/2009/03/02/samsungs-hybrid-nx-series-camera-point-and-shoot-with-dslr-lik/]]>Mar 2nd 2009 8:36AMhttp://www.engadget.com/2009/03/02/samsungs-hybrid-nx-series-camera-point-and-shoot-with-dslr-lik/http://www.engadget.com/2009/03/02/samsungs-hybrid-nx-series-camera-point-and-shoot-with-dslr-lik/Mar 3rd 2009 4:56PMhttp://www.engadget.com/2009/03/02/samsungs-hybrid-nx-series-camera-point-and-shoot-with-dslr-lik/http://www.engadget.com/2009/03/02/samsungs-hybrid-nx-series-camera-point-and-shoot-with-dslr-lik/Mar 2nd 2009 8:40AMhttp://www.engadget.com/2009/03/02/samsungs-hybrid-nx-series-camera-point-and-shoot-with-dslr-lik/http://www.engadget.com/2009/03/02/samsungs-hybrid-nx-series-camera-point-and-shoot-with-dslr-lik/
Poor has a few meanings. I'm a Canon guy but saying that is having little clue of what Olympus can offer you either in legacy or actual lens selection. they can use leica, panasonic, OM lens, Zuico... I guess there is more choice you would expect.

After this fact you might want to check what the lens choice is for the 4/3s

But a lot of their glass is quite expensive for some of it....very exotic and cool, but quite expensive (Their 70-200 f/2.8 competetor is about twice the IS Canon or VR Nikkor....amazing piece of glass but rediculously expensive)

And 3rd party selection is very ho-hum due to the 2x FOVCF

Not even getting into the fact that if its an EVF its going to suck

Anyways whats with the button on the left of the lens, does it have interchangeable lenses? I just cant see Pentax investing into a second lens system, and since Samsung uses their lenses on their pretty horrd little DSLR thats my most logical guess at what mount it is

And i think it looks VERY similar to that "leaked" Pentax bridge camera...

http://www.engadget.com/2009/03/01/pentax-bridge-digital-camera-image-leaked-ahead-of-pma/

I think Micro-Four Thirds and any system like it are FADS that are going to die quickly, sorry..

Oh and the Sigma DP1 beat them to it ]]>Mar 2nd 2009 8:52AMhttp://www.engadget.com/2009/03/02/samsungs-hybrid-nx-series-camera-point-and-shoot-with-dslr-lik/http://www.engadget.com/2009/03/02/samsungs-hybrid-nx-series-camera-point-and-shoot-with-dslr-lik/
"Not even getting into the fact that if its an EVF its going to suck"

Both of these claims are unsubstantiated. Cameras with "tiny little grips" have existed for decades. Leica, for instance, has no grip at all. And regarding the EVF, I hear very good things about the Panasonic G1 EVF, and I doubt Samsung is going to allow themselves to be outclassed that easily.]]>Mar 2nd 2009 9:59AMhttp://www.engadget.com/2009/03/02/samsungs-hybrid-nx-series-camera-point-and-shoot-with-dslr-lik/http://www.engadget.com/2009/03/02/samsungs-hybrid-nx-series-camera-point-and-shoot-with-dslr-lik/Mar 2nd 2009 9:21AMhttp://www.engadget.com/2009/03/02/samsungs-hybrid-nx-series-camera-point-and-shoot-with-dslr-lik/http://www.engadget.com/2009/03/02/samsungs-hybrid-nx-series-camera-point-and-shoot-with-dslr-lik/So basically I want DSLR-like quality in point-and-shoot size.
Samsung did the exactly opposite thing - they put 'something' into a DSLR-like body and think its 'better'.

Should have used micro 4/3 (four thirds) standard and made a compact cam with compact body and changeable lens instead.

IMO. Because I don't care if my camera looks like "professional", I don't care if I look like a "professional" with it. I care if its big and if the quality of the shots are good. The higher their quality with camera size not being changed, the better.]]>Mar 2nd 2009 9:25AMhttp://www.engadget.com/2009/03/02/samsungs-hybrid-nx-series-camera-point-and-shoot-with-dslr-lik/http://www.engadget.com/2009/03/02/samsungs-hybrid-nx-series-camera-point-and-shoot-with-dslr-lik/Mar 2nd 2009 9:56AMhttp://www.engadget.com/2009/03/02/samsungs-hybrid-nx-series-camera-point-and-shoot-with-dslr-lik/http://www.engadget.com/2009/03/02/samsungs-hybrid-nx-series-camera-point-and-shoot-with-dslr-lik/
As various people have mentioned above this clearly has interchangeable lenses, and an APS-C sensor which is larger than the four-thirds sensor, so every chance that it could perform even better in terms of signal to noise than the micro four-thirds.]]>Mar 3rd 2009 1:32PMhttp://www.engadget.com/2009/03/02/samsungs-hybrid-nx-series-camera-point-and-shoot-with-dslr-lik/http://www.engadget.com/2009/03/02/samsungs-hybrid-nx-series-camera-point-and-shoot-with-dslr-lik/
This however is obviously a pancake prime lens. Pentax makes a few of these for the K-mount. And even Olympus has one for 4:3. The advantage with a Pancake is the obvious size and weight. Traditionally the disadvantage though is that they tend to be a bit on the slow end optically... at least when compared to other primes. However the shorter mounting distance could help matters here.

- Nikon and Canon will come up with similiar designs and all those cameras will use lenses that are currently sold on the market. ]]>Mar 2nd 2009 11:04AMhttp://www.engadget.com/2009/03/02/samsungs-hybrid-nx-series-camera-point-and-shoot-with-dslr-lik/http://www.engadget.com/2009/03/02/samsungs-hybrid-nx-series-camera-point-and-shoot-with-dslr-lik/Mar 2nd 2009 11:35AMhttp://www.engadget.com/2009/03/02/samsungs-hybrid-nx-series-camera-point-and-shoot-with-dslr-lik/http://www.engadget.com/2009/03/02/samsungs-hybrid-nx-series-camera-point-and-shoot-with-dslr-lik/Mar 2nd 2009 4:15PMhttp://www.engadget.com/2009/03/02/samsungs-hybrid-nx-series-camera-point-and-shoot-with-dslr-lik/http://www.engadget.com/2009/03/02/samsungs-hybrid-nx-series-camera-point-and-shoot-with-dslr-lik/-Canon G11 (replacing the current G10)

I'd like to see this class of cameras with bigger sensors. The pixel war has got to stop: cramming more pixels on small chips isn't going to do any good.
