What to expect from Samsung in 2014 (NXF1, NX1, lenses, no full frame)
Here is the information I received regarding the new Samsung cameras rumored/expected to be announced in 2014:
- The Samsung NXF1 (or F1) camera will have a 1" sensor and Wi-Fi. This will be thinnest camera available on the market (as thin as a smartphone). There will be 3 new lenses for the NXF1 camera - one of them will be a 9mm prime, the other two will be zooms. The official announcement will be in April 2014.
- New entry level NX3000 camera
- Samsung NX1 will be announced in autumn (Photokina) with a 28MP APS-C sensor and 4k video recording capabilities. The camera will be weather sealed and will run on the Android OS.
- Samsung has no plans to release a full frame camera this year.
Update #1 - I changed some of the details - the three new lenses will be for the upcoming NXF1 camera (with 1" sensor).
Update #2 - here is another set of rumored Samsung NX1 specifications:
- 28MP APS-C CMOS sensor
- Hybrid AF
- Video recording capabilities: UHD 4K 3840×2160 at 30p/24p and full HD at 60p
- Magnesium alloy body (weather sealed)
