With the announcement of the Nikon 1 mirrorless camera system, the longest running rumor in the camera industry has been put to rest. Speculation about a Nikon EVIL camera (Electronic Viewfinder Interchangeable Lens) started even before Panasonic and Olympus announced their Micro Four Thirds system partnership in 2008. To start, there will be two Nikon 1 system cameras, the J1 and the V1. Performance-wise the Nikon J1 and V1 measure up well against their mirrorless / compact system camera competitors.

The specifications of the Samsung NX10 hybrid camera are starting to pop up. Shown for the first time during the PMA 2009 in Las Vegas at the beginning of this year, the news about a new Samsung hybrid camera became more real in the form of a Samsung camera mock-up. As the year went on, the name of the hybrid camera was revealed; Samsung NX10.
At this moment, there is still no official release date, however, new information indicates / speaks of Thursday 10 December 2009. The Samsung NX10 is a new camera system based on a DX-format image sensor and a newly developed mount. The Samsung NX mount will feature a focal length multiplier of 1.5x.

If you still remember Samsung making a statement following the announcement of the Micro Four Thirds system, you will likely have to dig into your memory a little bit. It was around the time of the IFA show 2008 in Berlin, where Samsung's Techwin Executive Vice President Byung Woo Lee told the world about a new APS-C camera system.
At that time, there was talk of a 14 megapixel CMOS APS-C sensor and a possible release in the spring of 2010. We have now been informed that this release date has been advanced to December 2009. The Samsung NX10, as the first camera of the Samsung hybrid camera system is called, is likely to be formally introduced at that time.
