Samsung Mirrorless Cameras

Samsung has some ambitious plans for its line of mirrorless digital SLR cameras.

They clearly see the potential of this new breed of camera, and intend to continue to innovate their NX line of digital cameras.

Of note is the fact that Samsung continues to release firmware updates for their first mirrorless DSLR - the NX10.

Firmware updates allow the company to enhance the functionality of the camera so that owners don't feel like their model is obsolete a week after purchase.

Defining Features

Samsung was the first company to place a DSLR-size sensor inside a compact camera body.

While both Panasonic and Olympus beat Samsung to market with their own mirrorless DSLRs, the sensors inside those cameras is physically smaller than the one in the NX10.

When it comes to digital sensors, size does matter, since larger sensors produce higher-quality images, especially in dim ambient light.
