As promised, the compact NX10 is armed with a large 14.6 megapixel APS-C CMOS sensor along with a 3.0 inch AMOLED monitor, pop-up flash, and an electronic viewfinder. Standing toe-to-toe with the competition, Samsung has included 720p HD video capture capability in the NX10. It will record HD videos in H.264 codec.</em><em>"</em></p><p><img src="http://images.thoughtsmedia.com/resizer/thumbs/size/600/wpt/auto/1263141381.usr486.jpg" style="border: 0;" /></p><p>Samsung is taking on Panasonic and Olympus and their Micro Four Thirds system for mirror-less cameras. This camera has a much larger sensor than its Micro Four Thirds competitors, which presumably will lead to better image quality. Dpreview has a nice hands on preview <a href="http://www.dpreview.com/previews/samsungnx10/page3.asp" target="_blank">here</a>. They got their hands on an early pre production model, and their report is fairly positive. I have been thinking about upgrading my Canon ELPH to either an entry level DLSR or one of these new mirror-less models. Mostly for taking photos of my kids sporting events. With all the questions about focus speed and lens selection I will probably end up going with something along the lines of a Rebel T1i, but these cameras are an interesting option.</p>
