canon and nikon need some competition, a 2 horse race isn't good for us consumers:(]]>Dec 21st 2009 2:30PMhttp://www.engadget.com/2009/12/21/first-shots-of-samsungs-nx10-hybrid-dslr-surface/http://www.engadget.com/2009/12/21/first-shots-of-samsungs-nx10-hybrid-dslr-surface/
But i do think the DSLR market needs some more players - prices are far too high especially as there is demand and also because the tech moves on as quickly as it does....

Canon and Nikon are tops for a reason, but they do not lack competition. Olympus, Pentax, and Minolta-cum-Sony all provide alternatives. Panasonic is already deep into this "sort of a DSLR" role. The issue is that this Samsung seems to ride the line between both. I am not sure I get the value proposition.]]>Dec 21st 2009 2:45PMhttp://www.engadget.com/2009/12/21/first-shots-of-samsungs-nx10-hybrid-dslr-surface/http://www.engadget.com/2009/12/21/first-shots-of-samsungs-nx10-hybrid-dslr-surface/
I don't disagree that more players are welcome. I also will not complain that prices could come down more. But keep in mind that price of entry to the DSLR world has drastically come down over the last 4 to 5 years and you can get a great camera for 400-500 USD. ]]>Dec 21st 2009 4:15PMhttp://www.engadget.com/2009/12/21/first-shots-of-samsungs-nx10-hybrid-dslr-surface/http://www.engadget.com/2009/12/21/first-shots-of-samsungs-nx10-hybrid-dslr-surface/
Don't forget Fujifilm. Not sure where they rank in popularity compared to the others, but they also provide some serious alternatives to Canon and Nikon, especially if you want to shoot in IR and UV.]]>Dec 21st 2009 10:04PMhttp://www.engadget.com/2009/12/21/first-shots-of-samsungs-nx10-hybrid-dslr-surface/http://www.engadget.com/2009/12/21/first-shots-of-samsungs-nx10-hybrid-dslr-surface/
They should have made a Micro 4/3 camera and enjoyed the existing collection of lenses and accessories right off the bat.

importantly, will the optics be done by pentax?

Maybe a bigger sensor but still no shutter? I agree, it's like saying you are coming out with a vehicle that is a cross between a gas electric hybrid and a conventional gas automobile.]]>Dec 21st 2009 3:13PMhttp://www.engadget.com/2009/12/21/first-shots-of-samsungs-nx10-hybrid-dslr-surface/http://www.engadget.com/2009/12/21/first-shots-of-samsungs-nx10-hybrid-dslr-surface/Dec 21st 2009 3:52PMhttp://www.engadget.com/2009/12/21/first-shots-of-samsungs-nx10-hybrid-dslr-surface/http://www.engadget.com/2009/12/21/first-shots-of-samsungs-nx10-hybrid-dslr-surface/Dec 21st 2009 4:08PMhttp://www.engadget.com/2009/12/21/first-shots-of-samsungs-nx10-hybrid-dslr-surface/http://www.engadget.com/2009/12/21/first-shots-of-samsungs-nx10-hybrid-dslr-surface/Dec 21st 2009 3:19PMhttp://www.engadget.com/2009/12/21/first-shots-of-samsungs-nx10-hybrid-dslr-surface/http://www.engadget.com/2009/12/21/first-shots-of-samsungs-nx10-hybrid-dslr-surface/Dec 21st 2009 3:50PMhttp://www.engadget.com/2009/12/21/first-shots-of-samsungs-nx10-hybrid-dslr-surface/http://www.engadget.com/2009/12/21/first-shots-of-samsungs-nx10-hybrid-dslr-surface/read "full frame" rather than "full size"...]]>Dec 21st 2009 3:58PMhttp://www.engadget.com/2009/12/21/first-shots-of-samsungs-nx10-hybrid-dslr-surface/http://www.engadget.com/2009/12/21/first-shots-of-samsungs-nx10-hybrid-dslr-surface/Dec 21st 2009 3:50PMhttp://www.engadget.com/2009/12/21/first-shots-of-samsungs-nx10-hybrid-dslr-surface/http://www.engadget.com/2009/12/21/first-shots-of-samsungs-nx10-hybrid-dslr-surface/
you're right about having more players in the market. hopefully samsung will bridge the gaps and provide some better cameras for the money.

a lot of is also limited to lens offerings.. so MORE LENSES SAMSUNG (PENTAX)]]>Dec 21st 2009 3:52PMhttp://www.engadget.com/2009/12/21/first-shots-of-samsungs-nx10-hybrid-dslr-surface/http://www.engadget.com/2009/12/21/first-shots-of-samsungs-nx10-hybrid-dslr-surface/Dec 21st 2009 4:13PMhttp://www.engadget.com/2009/12/21/first-shots-of-samsungs-nx10-hybrid-dslr-surface/http://www.engadget.com/2009/12/21/first-shots-of-samsungs-nx10-hybrid-dslr-surface/
It's thin until you put a lens on it. Then it's bulky like a normal DSLR. You're still gonna carry it around your neck with a neck strap... it's far from pocketable.]]>Dec 21st 2009 5:01PMhttp://www.engadget.com/2009/12/21/first-shots-of-samsungs-nx10-hybrid-dslr-surface/http://www.engadget.com/2009/12/21/first-shots-of-samsungs-nx10-hybrid-dslr-surface/
Thats not the point.]]>Dec 21st 2009 5:07PMhttp://www.engadget.com/2009/12/21/first-shots-of-samsungs-nx10-hybrid-dslr-surface/http://www.engadget.com/2009/12/21/first-shots-of-samsungs-nx10-hybrid-dslr-surface/
What is the point? They removed the mirror assembly to make it thinner.

Some would argue that a mirror/prism and the ability to optically look through the lens is the best part of a DSLR.

Interchangeable lenses, good... electronic viewfinder, bad.]]>Dec 21st 2009 5:18PMhttp://www.engadget.com/2009/12/21/first-shots-of-samsungs-nx10-hybrid-dslr-surface/http://www.engadget.com/2009/12/21/first-shots-of-samsungs-nx10-hybrid-dslr-surface/
The lack of a mirror allows lenses to have a shorter flange distance, thereby allowing wide-angle lenses to be much smaller as they won't have to adopt a retrofocal design. Therefore, these lenses will use less material, which mean that they can be cheaper and of higher quality. There is no advantage in this design for tele lenses.]]>Dec 21st 2009 6:08PMhttp://www.engadget.com/2009/12/21/first-shots-of-samsungs-nx10-hybrid-dslr-surface/http://www.engadget.com/2009/12/21/first-shots-of-samsungs-nx10-hybrid-dslr-surface/Dec 21st 2009 4:30PMhttp://www.engadget.com/2009/12/21/first-shots-of-samsungs-nx10-hybrid-dslr-surface/http://www.engadget.com/2009/12/21/first-shots-of-samsungs-nx10-hybrid-dslr-surface/

Which is great... I'm eager for more options in this niche, and the MFT cameras have so far notably *failed* to have prices between compacts and full DSLRs, which is where their niche is 'supposed' to be.]]>Dec 21st 2009 6:05PMhttp://www.engadget.com/2009/12/21/first-shots-of-samsungs-nx10-hybrid-dslr-surface/http://www.engadget.com/2009/12/21/first-shots-of-samsungs-nx10-hybrid-dslr-surface/
I don't see this happening until Nikon or whoever comes out with a much smaller sensor camera, the 1" type, that really does sit between the APS-C or 4/3 and compacts. dSLRs have sales volume and trickle down working for them with the result that they will always be cheaper for the same sensor size. Plus they are subsidized to an extent because Nikon wants you go buy into their system so you spend money later on lenses etc...

Two reasons not to buy the NX-10

1. No optical viewfinder dognabbit!

2. Lenses in yet another lens mount, with rather doubtful long term support.

Panasonic started off with a "dSLR" styled G1, quickly realized that was a stupid idea, and turned around and gave us the much more sensible brick-shaped GF1.

It's not a dSLR and there is no earthly reason to insist it looks like one.. that was run over by a truck.]]>Dec 21st 2009 7:48PMhttp://www.engadget.com/2009/12/21/first-shots-of-samsungs-nx10-hybrid-dslr-surface/http://www.engadget.com/2009/12/21/first-shots-of-samsungs-nx10-hybrid-dslr-surface/
Grip is so great with my big hand. Color and image quality is so excellent. Most of all, this camera have NO FOCUS ISSUE thanks to its contrast-AF mechanism so that all the images are so sharp and great even with the bundle lenses. If anyone experienced focus problem in DSLR, he will know what this means!]]>Mar 18th 2010 12:15AM
