The last Samsung mirrorless camera roadmap I published on the blog only had information on the entry level models (NX3000).  A better roadmap is now circulating online and shows the Samsung NX1 (see previous NX1 leaks) as a top of the line mirrorless camera and another F1 entry level model. Here is the first picture of the Samsung NX 50-150mm f/2.8 OIS STM splash and dust proof lens (see all NX lens rumors):

As previously reported, today PhaseOne announced a new IQ250 digital back and just like Haseelblad claimed to be the world’s first CMOS-based medium format camera. The difference is that PhaseOne actually had a working model to show where Hasselblad just had an “announcement for an announcement”. I say PhaseOne wins. Additional information after the break.
