Samsung rumors

By PR admin | Published: January 11, 2010

Samsung applied for a patent on a 28mm f1.4 with 75 deg FOV, 44 mm image diagonal lens (35mm full frame). Why would they be interested in full frame lenses is beyond me, especially when there is a very low chance for Samsung to re-enter the DSLR market. Yes, the Samsung GX DSLR line is dead (source). In the future, concentration will be on the just released NX product line. The Samsung NX10 (listed @ B&H for $699.99) will be the first in a series of future NX products (source).

On another note, CNet Asia spotted a flier at Samsung's CES booth with a drawing of a 3D camera. The design looks very similar to Fuji's 3D camera.

    Why not, companies routinely patent everything they can for one simple reason – “just in case”.

    the best case scenario would be the future NX line to become full frame and compete with M9 etc.

      Exactly my thought. That would be a classic. With the m43 and aps market being fully exploited (soon), and NX10 being not exactly the best of the pack, next step could be a FF NX… (let’s keep on dreaming, folk :D )
