Samsung announces NX10, will Dick estate sue?

While I think it sounds like an advanced model of Sean Young’s role in Blade Runner, it’s really a new mirrorless interchangeable lens compact from Samsung. Competing with Olympus and Panasonic for small size and a narrow profile it sports a 14.6MP APS-C sized CMOS sensor (not the 4/3 size of the Oly or Panny), an electric viewfinder, and a 3″ OLED monitor.

They’ve also launched their own mount, the NX-Mount with three lenses out of the gate -a 30mm f/2 pancake, an 18-55 OIS, and 50-200 OIS. According to the specs sheet on DPReview (who have their hot little hands on a pre-production copy) there’s an adapter for Pentax K-mount lenses in the works.

I wonder if Olympus’ E-P1 commercial with Kevin Spacey was the harbinger of a mirrorless compact invasion.
