The new year starts off with a big announcement from Samsung. They’ve finally announced their new interchangeable lens camera, the NX10, which was first shown in concept form at last year’s PMA. While details are still pretty sparse, here’s what I can tell you about it:Samsung NX10 

• 14.6 Megapixel CMOS sensor
• Mirrorless design (like the Panasonic Lumix G series and the Olympus E-P1) and new NX lens mount allows for a body roughly the size of the Panasonic DMC-G1
• “Ultra-fast” contrast-detect AF performance
• Supersonic Dust Reduction system
• 3-inch AMOLED display (with 614k pixels) offers improved contrast ratio and viewing angle over conventional LCDs
• Electronic viewfinder has 921k pixels and a magnification of 0.86X
• Smart Auto mode plus full manual controls
• “Smart Range” feature promises improved dynamic range
• Built-in flash plus a hot shoe
• Records movies at 1280 x 720 using the H.264 codec
• HDMI output
• Ships this Spring; pricing to be announced

There will initially be three NX lenses available: you’ve got your standard F3.5-5.6, 18 - 55 mm IS and F4.0-5.6, 50 - 200 mm IS kit lenses. An F2.0, 30 mm pancake lens will also be available.
