Rumors recap

By PR admin | Published: August 23, 2010

Somebody sent me this picture of Samsun NX1000. Looks different than the expected Samsung NX100. I think it’s a PS job (front LCD, WiFi and 3G?)

Rumor: there will be no new professional DSLR from Canon for Photokina. The new 1DS Mk4 is currently being tested but will not be released before mid 2011. It will have a 39 MP sensor.
