I am sorry if I offended anyone, but that is the most ugliest DSLR I have ever seen….
well its not a dslr because it doesnt have a mirror. but i agree its not that attractive.
It looks like ANY “D40″ “Rebel” class dslr to me. It also looks like ANY “fatty” point-and-shoot with a huge range lens built in.
So I really dont know how you can say this is ugly. Is the D40 or the Rebel pretty?? I don’t think so……. this design is not out of place. Its just. Very average.
Well ,maybe not the ugliest but certainly ugly
Plusof limited appeal except maybe to compete with GH1 as the faux prism is not what drives the market in this segment

I agree, Derek. Not only is it ugly, it looks boring as hell too. What’s up with the size? It’s too small to be SLR-comfy in your hands anyway. They might as well target the GF-1.
And that comfortable grip… oh wait, it doesn’t have a grip!
Are we sure this is a finished product?
whats the video specs?
very big *SIGH*, it’s not a DSLR, its EVIL. So yes it targets the GF-1 crowd.
DSLR: Digital Single Lens Reflex
EVIL: Electronic Viewfinder Interchangeable Lens (system)
Maybe you should read my post again. Just because it’s mirrorless, doesn’t mean it automatically competes with other mirrorless cameras no matter how they look. Most people don’t know anything about the tech inside and choose by the form factor.

It was not only your post I reacted on, also Derek’s. And just because its mirrorless, it should compete with others, but that doesn’t mean it will. You need to rethink how you say something, before shouting it out.
You make no sense.
This camera is bound to fail if it really looks like this. Their m43-compact clones should be more interesting and certainly desirable if the sensor is bigger.
No sense? Than why does Samsung make a mirrorless camera, which they try to attack the MFT with, but as you say, they will fail (not my words, but given samsungs history…).
So they try, but it wont compete, it still is competition (Sony has none yet, Nikon and Canon the same)
This is targeting people who would either buy a D40 or a Rebel — OR — a fatty point-and-shoot. Samsung is obviously trying to bridge the gap. It can’t be judged against the D300 — it should be expected to feel and look somewhat lower than a D40/Rebel and somewhat more complicated and technical than a point-and-shoot.
I believe Samsung has achieved what they were going for. If you are a DSLR lover, you probably cannot rightfully judge this camera. You need to think from the perspective of someone who is a point-and-shoot user, who wants something a little more “pro” (very loosely). This is possibly even an alternative camera for someone who otherwise only uses their phone’s camera.
Lets not judge this against the D3s.
Disagree with Globalguy:
people stepping up from P&S are not ready to spend so much money on this camera, which will be quite more expensive than any entry level dsrl on the market. Those entry level dslr will not be much bigger, will be sold in bundle with two zooms (e.g. 18-55/55-200, or the like) for, probably 50% less than the proposed Samsung with basic lens. I do not see Joe Average buying it…
ugh..can someone tell me why Samsung is getting into the DSLR business again?
shalalalala, NO DSLR, so it is not again.
It’s a new market for Samsung, named EVIL
When someone is buying their first camera, how will they know it’s not a DSLR? Do you think if you stand next to them and explain ,”ooh see here, it’s mirrorless!”, that it will matter? No. For the average buyer it’s a DSLR.
The whole point of Mirrorless(TM) is lost with a bulky body like this. They lose to the cheaper Canons and Nikons with a body like this. Those are mature systems with hundreds of lenses. New and used.
I think the average person will say just camera, an average newcomer will never use the “word” DSLR.
haha, I don’t know how is ur place, but here in Malaysia. Teenagers are getting DSLRs just for the sake of fun =.=
And what is your point exactly?
yeah, thats what I don’t get with the G1 and now this.
Olympus got it right with the EP-1 and Panasonic with the GF1
Actually I find it quit a beautiful camera and I’m pretty sure it will rock; a little bit of competition for the Micro 4/3 camera’s (and absurd prices) won’t hurt eater!
how would another camera with ridiculous price help getting prices better?
they will realize in few years what bubble it is, let them burn (in case of samsung and others – yet again)
Still, does not look any smaller than my DSLR Oly E-510.
and the fact that DSLR is so… micro is just pathetic….
hopefully the schneider/ samsung branded lenses are good.
Look this…
Bigger sensor, surely lighter, video, and new electronic controlled lenses system.
This is just the first model, do you remember the first Pana M4/3? well, Samsung will come with a new model then.
Samsung needs compete with all the entry level DSLR, they do not have a entry level DSLR line-up, neither a strong DSLR base.
Had I been Samsung I would have started with something lighter, and more Ep1 like. This cameras is actually bigger than entry level dslr olys, pentax and probably also than other brand entry level cameras!
Ok, just saw the pic. Almost there though, and let’s wait for the price (vs. e.g. e-410) and lens offering (vs m43, also considering the adaptors)
thanks for the comparison – I will post it online
Uglier than your ugly Sony cameras… perhaps it’s their strategy.
