1080p EVF and bluetooth+wifi are way surreal.
WiFi and BlueTooth is not surreal…
http://www.engadget.com/2009/08/13/samsung-crams-wifi-gps-and-bluetooth-2-0-into-well-specced-cl65/
A 1080p EVF resolution, 3:2 is a 1620×1080 resolution = 1.74M dots… is not surreal neither…
Well, this year is a very interesting year.
What will we see in the next one ?
I am not a brand-snob and will buy what works best, but two issues with the Sammy:
1) They’ve yet to prove to me that they know how to do good image quality. Kind of link Panasonic about 2-3 years ago.
2) How big is that camera? I’m guessing the size of the GH1, so they can’t do a GF1/EP1 competitor, but time will tell.
And yet a whole NEW system. Which lenses would fit this beast? Anybody elses, or is Sammy doing new glass? Are they known for optics expertise (I’d say no, but it’s a big company. I don’t know much about them)

Optron-Tec will make the NX Samsung lenses and they have probably made the P&S and camcorde Samsung lenses.
Judging by the photos in engadget, this camera is not that small.. I believe it even bigger then G1 and GH-1. The different with DSLR is, it look thinner. The lens seems still very big and long
On my birthday (or nearly)? It is meant to be! DNG, a normal-sized sensor, and a pretty model holding the camera? Sold! Well, depending on the price of course.
