ISO, SCHMISO, this thing is built for speed (if the rumor is true). It’s got video written all over it: 1080/60, 8 channel readout, ability to window/crop the sensor to read out at even higher rates, it’s probably the same type of sensors Sony Canon and Panasonic are building, gotta keep up with the Jones’

The new Samsung NX10′s max ISO is ISO3,200.

Also, Sony’s sensor goes up to ISO12,800. The native range isn’t published, but results matter and the ISO 12,800 samples looks amazing:

Many APS-C CMOS sensor only have 4 DR steps. The Sony sensor has ISO 200 as native ISO, 200 – 3200 is the non-forced range. I don´t know the last one, but probably they have 1 more step.
The GX20/K20D sensor has ISO 100 as native ISO, probably ISO 100 – 1600 as non-forced range, but 3200 and 6400 as forced.

It means you have to wait and see…but from the specifications it looks promising!

@AS

But what does that mean?

Their current sensor in the NX10 maxes out at 3200ISO. The new Canon and Sony senors at around 14-16MP APS-C are doing 12,800ISO.

It says there in the text, just read it carefully: “…offers the highest response and image quality. The new SX technology allows a reduced noise level…”
