Very interesting rumor come from mirrorlessrumors.com’s source about Samsung’s new medium format camera. According to the source, Samsung is about to finish their new camera (currently in phase 2 of 3 ) and will make an announcement soon. And we also got some specs:
36mm x 36mm square sensor
3 sensor type will be available : 18 mp and two 34mp sensor
It has a shorter lens-sensor distance than other medium format cameras
in-progress, AF lenses, EVF and optional accessories like grip, flash and screen
The price will be competitive. Less than Pentax 645D ( $9900 ) and similar to pro full-frame DSLRs from Nikon/Canon.
According to DDaily , korean technology paper , Samsung is finishing the development of their new NX cameras : NX20 and NX200. Both are the successor of already popular Samsung NX10 and NX100 respectively.

What Samsung’s plan for NX development ? at some presentation , Samsung showed their roadmap on Samsung NX camera.
there will be three categories for NX cameras:
Novice Expert (Classic) : conventional SLR style with high performance eg: NX10 , NX11
Cool Techie (Style) : compact , more design oriented for new users eg: NX100
and Expert Premier (Classic+) : portability and high performance .. hmm maybe something like Fuji X100 ? this category should fit for more advanced shooter who wish for compact body ( portability )

New Samsung NX100 review available online at Steve Digicams website. Overall, the camera got many positive reviews and highly recommended for people who looks for advanced compact digital camera with DSLR image quality and controls. The only disadvantages are no internal flash, missed WB setting at Auto, and ‘cheap’ body build quality.
Samsung has taken their popular NX10 and shrunk it down to form the NX100. With loads of useful exposure options, robust performance, and excellent image quality, the NX100 is a formidable opponent in the compact EVIL category.
