-The EVF is optional and just 201K (300Ã—224) with 0.83X magnification
-The new external flash is the GN15
-The other device on the National Geographic picture is a GPS receiver and works with google maps
-The camera has 2 select dials, one on top and other around 4 way button
-The camera has a lot of direct access and controls.

4/3 Rumours poll results currently show that most voters aren't pleased...

It's a glorified point and shoot camera.

I've seen uglier P&S (and owned one or two) but that is ugly enough to be turned down by the ugly sisters from hell.

I don't like it, but why do you say that?

i dont hate it........... yet ............i think its a step in the right direction

missed oppotournity : internal evf with good res ..... when will one of these makers wake up?also a 20 -50 zoom whats that a 30--80 equiv.... crap speed too lots of room for a bigger front element with the ability to gather another stop of light !!

where is the 2..8 to 4 zoom that will earn them some brownie points with their base of shooters, do they not realize how much influence we have with the photo curious

ive sold at least 10 people on the pen panny micro 4 \3 paradigm in the last year
and i get nothing in return , not even a decent stable of lenses

Not only that, but no OIS on a 30--80 equiv. f/3.5-5.6 means it will be totally useless indoors.

No, thanks!

The curves and the design, they just scream cheap plastic piece of crap. Sorry, but they do.

adash · « **Reply #8 on:** September 07, 2010, 12:07:23 AM »

They could have spared the curves. It would have got a slightly retro look if they did.

I really don't get the point of the kit lens either.

AAAAAh, I get it now.....it is small....

voyager · « **Reply #11 on:** September 07, 2010, 12:13:28 AM »

I mean a 30-75mm equivalent? Who wants that?

adash · « **Reply #12 on:** September 07, 2010, 12:25:32 AM »

I do. F/2.8 however!

This looks good, and has a hot-shoe. Whatâ€™s the multiplication factor? 1.5x, same as the NX10? Presumably itâ€™ll also take the NX10â€™s pancake 30mm. I wonder how pancakey the 20mm is â€” hopefully almost invisible. Thatâ€™d make a superb pocket camera with the interchangeable lens possibility for those other moments where you need a bit of a zoom. If itâ€™s 1.5x and same mount as the NX10, it should take the enormous zooms from that, too, I suppose.

I suspect that this is up against the Panasonic LX5, and will probably win, if it can perform as expected, because it will in all probability be cheaper, judging by how the NX10 was sold in ever recedingly priced bundles.

The good looks are a subjective matter. A 40-year old Smena-6 looks better to me (see my forum avatar).
Success will indeed depend on target audience and pricing. But dropping generic features out does not speak well for the vendor's plans. It will surely not be able to compete with basic dSLR offerings, nor with m4/3. Current NEX kits offer more too, except the very basic NEX+16mm pancake. So it will have to be priced lower than everithing EVIL, lower even than some P&S models, in order to attract buyers.

what?

you do know m4/3 has a 2x factor? gargantuan zooms I guess we could call it...

no dude, no. Google the specs, you'll get it...

I take it back, now that I saw it on somebody's hand (thanks panther), I think it's kinda cool

cosinaphile · « **Reply #17 on:** September 07, 2010, 10:12:31 PM »

can someone explain to me why the nx cameras , lacking a mirrorbox assembly,
like the pens\pannys m4\3 and the sony nex`es, can`t be fitted with a m mount lens assuming someone made an "adapter'[ even me

]

adash · « **Reply #18 on:** September 07, 2010, 10:34:37 PM »

Sounds like the Flange-Back distance is not appropriate. The m4/3 has a 20mm of Flange-Back distance, while NEX has 25. M-mount has 27.8 mm, and the difference of 2.8mm might be insufficient for an adapter to be machined.
Someone correct me if I'm wrong, please.

cosinaphile · « **Reply #19 on:** September 08, 2010, 08:42:46 AM »

as i understand it the nex can and does have the ability to use an m mount lens

but the samsung nx cannot

and someone correct me if im wrong too

adash · « **Reply #20 on:** September 08, 2010, 09:57:03 AM »

NEX has a Flange-Back distance of only 18mm.
