Samsung hybrid APS-C digicam family

Welcome to a Laptop AC Adapter specialist of the Samsung Ac Adapter

The Samsung NX format looks to be similar to that of Micro Four Thirds in concept - the biggest difference from existing Samsung digital SLR designs being the elimination of the mirror box. This change means that, as with the competing Micro Four Thirds format, all NX-series cameras will use Live View mode for framing of images. The Samsung NX design is said to include an "ultra precise" electronic viewfinder and initial product photos also show a fixed-position LCD display.

The removal of the mirror box allows for a significant reduction in the size and weight of the camera body, and although dimensions haven't yet been released, the Samsung NX does indeed look pretty compact. On the downside, it also means the removal of phase detection autofocus sensors since there's nowhere in the optical path where they can be placed. Contrast detection autofocus based on data from the camera's image sensor seems the most likely replacement, as adopted in Micro Four Thirds. As a second bonus though, the design also allows for a reduction in the size and weight of compatible lenses, as compared to a regular digital SLR of equal sensor size.

In this area, we're curious to see whether Samsung intends to offer an adapter such as Samsung NP-R620 Ac Adapter, Samsung NP-RV720 Ac Adapter, Samsung NP-Q320 Ac Adapter, Samsung NC110 Ac Adapter, Samsung NP-X130 Ac Adapter, Samsung Series 5 Ac Adapter, Samsung NT-R439 Ac Adapter, Samsung NT-R440E Ac Adapter, Samsung NP-P330 Ac Adapter, Samsung NP-Q330 Ac Adapter, Samsung NP-RV508 Ac Adapter, Samsung NP-N148P Ac Adapter for backwards compatibility with the Pentax / Samsung digital SLR lineup, or whether Samsung NX users will need to start afresh. Competitors Olympus and Panasonic allow use of regular Four Thirds lenses on their Micro Four Thirds bodies with an adapter, although autofocusing is only possible with certain adapted lenses - most likely due to compatibility issues with contrast detection AF in some lens designs.

In terms of differences between the two competing standards, only one point stands out thus far given the limited information available - but it is an important one. Micro Four Thirds is based around the same 4/3" type image sensor as the regular Four Thirds system, with a diagonal of 22.5 millimeters. By contrast, the Samsung NX system is to be based around an APS-C sized image sensor - which should mean a diagonal somewhere in the region of 28mm. This larger sensor size will likely give Samsung's design an advantage in terms of ISO sensitivity and noise levels.

The first Samsung NX-series digital camera is slated to ship in the second half of 2009, and to say we're eagerly awaiting full details on the design would be somewhat of an understatement...
