Samsung NX20 leaked photos appear online
Like UnlikeFiled in: CamerasSamsungNX20
A new set of leaked pictures, supposedly showing the Samsung NX20 have appeared online, ahead of what is expected to be an imminent release date.
Samsung was one of the early adopters of mirrorless technology, introducing the APS-C sized NX10 back in January 2010.
However, it has not competed well against rival brands including Panasonic, Olympus, Nikon and Sony, who all stand above it in the league charts.

For now though, Sunhong Lim - VP Sales & Marketing in Samsung's Digital Imaging division, spoke at length to dpreview and a small group of other journalists about his vision of Samsung's role in shaping the future of cameras as mobile communication devices.

Samsung doesn't deny Android-based camera
Like UnlikeFiled in: CamerasOperating SystemsSamsungGoogleAndroid
Samsung has refused to confirm reports that it is working on an Android-based camera, only to say it is looking at the idea. The non-denial, which says 'it is something we are monitoring,' comes in response to reports from tech website Engadget that it is considering an 'open' camera operating system. However, while the site goes on to speculate that Android makes sense, based on its parent company's use of the OS on its smartphones, we think there are other reasons for Samsung to use Android.

Samsung NX200 coming in February?
Like UnlikeFiled in: CamerasSamsungNX200
Rumours are suggesting that Samsung will announce an NX20 in February, which will then be available from April.
Seemingly another manufacturer that is keen to cash in on the popular retro trend that is currently being displayed by the likes of the Fujifilm X Pro1 and the Olympus PEN E-P3, the Samsung NX20 is said to feature a vintage design.
Other rumoured specs include a 1.8 million pixel electronic viewfinder, full manual control and a swivelling AMOLED display screen.
Sources suggest that the new compact system camera will have the same sensor as the Samsung NX200, but will feature a faster processor and buffer. Two new lenses, a 16-80mm and 12-24mm, are also rumoured to be making their d...

Samsung to partner up with Olympus?
Like UnlikeFiled in: CamerasSamsungOlympus
A Samsung source has said that the company is open to the possibility of an alliance with rival manufacturer Olympus.
Although Samsung has previously declared it isn't interesting in buying up the Olympus camera business, it is considering a partnership with the company in other areas.
Olympus is currently considering an equity tie-up with five candidate companies which include Sony and Panasonic, according to the Asahi Shimbun newspaper.
Recently, times have been troubled for Olympus, which has been rocked by scandal over the past few weeks. Starting with the dismissal of its CEO Michael Woodford after he tried to probe into accounting discrepancies, years of hidden financial activity has b...

Samsung considering more advanced CSC
Like UnlikeFiled in: CamerasSamsungNX11NX200
Samsung is considering producing a more advanced compact system camera with more traditional style controls in order to attract enthusiast photographers, according to Nick White, Head of Digital Imaging at Samsung UK. Speaking candidly to TechRadar, White said that 2011 had been a tough year for its compact system cameras and they have failed to achieve the sales figures that the company believe they merit. Despite many favourable reviews, Samsung's CSCs have suffered from fierce competiton and aggressive advertising campaigns from other manufacturers, particularly in the run up to Christmas.

Pre-CES: Samsung has unveiled the ST76 and ST66 5x zoom budget compact cameras.

Both also make use of 16MP CCD sensors, giving 720p video, and feature 2.7" LCDs. The ST76 adds optical image stabilization and an extra $10 to the asking price.

Like UnlikeFiled in: CamerasCanonSamsungPowerShot G1 XWB850F
Another leak from Wells Fargo Advisors has revealed a whole host of point-and-shoot cameras due to be announced at CES next week, most notably a new flagship G-series PowerShot model from Canon. The G1X (not to be confused with Panasonic's GX-1) has a huge-for-a-compact 1.5-inch, 14.3-megapixel sensor and a 28-112mm zoom lens that starts at f/2.5. It'll shoot RAW and 1080p video, and will feature what sounds like the same DIGIC 5 image processor as the S100, enabling multi-area white balance and advanced noise reduction. There aren't any details on what the camera actually looks like or what sort of interface it'll use, but we can't wait to see it fully unveiled.

Like UnlikeFiled in: CamerasSamsungDV300F
Samsung is extending its "highly popular" DualView point-and-shoot line with a WiFi cam, launching the DV300F today.

Naturally, a front-facing screen makes self-portraits a snap, while also serving to entertain toddlers with things like an animated clown loop. As for that WiFi connectivity, the DV300F can upload pics directly to sharing sites like Facebook and Picasa, videos to YouTube or the full contents of your card to a PC using the Auto PC Backup function -- there's also a microSD slot for local storage. The DV300F is expected to sh...
