Samsung confirms plans for new DSLR
Friday 10th October 2008
http://www.whatdigitalcamera.com/
Samsung has confirmed that the company is currently working on a new digital SLR. Speaking exclusively to WDC Editor Nigel Atherton at the company's worldwide headquarters in Seoul, South Korea, Mr Young-Bae Kim, Samsung's Director of DSLR business, revealed that the new DSLR, the company's third, would be quite different to its previous models.
"The GX-20 was not very different in appearance to the GX10," he admitted, "but from the GX-20 to the next model will be a much bigger change."
He would not reveal any specific features, specifications or even the name of the new camera except that it would be smaller in size than its predecessors, and would be launched in the second half of 2009. Asked whether it would follow the new trend of incorporating HD Video capture, Mr Kim said:
“It is certainly something we will think about, but there is lots of homework to be done to overcome some of the limitations of the feature in existing models.” Samsung already incorporates HD video into many of its compact cameras.
Like its previous two DSLR models, the new DSLR will be a joint development with Pentax and Mr Kim reiterated the company's commitment to this partnership for the foreseeable future saying that, if anything, this relationship would 'expand'.
He did, however play down rumours that Samsung is developing a full-frame (35mm sized) sensor.
“I think we will be staying with the APS-C sensor for now, and developing it further. We believe that there is still much potential to improve the image quality from DSLRs using the existing APS-C sensor and it is very important to Samsung that we continue to do so.”
He admitted that there is still 'pixel competition' in the DSLR sector, with manufacturers striving to produce not only larger, full-frame sensors but higher pixel counts on smaller sensors, but he would not speculate on what he thought the maximum practicable pixel count might be for an APS-C sensor, or give any indication as to how many megapixels the new DSLR would have.
News of a forthcoming DSLR comes in the wake of the announcement that Samsung is working on a new 'Hybrid' camera system to rival Micro Four-Thirds, which will feature interchangeable lenses and an APS-C sensor, but an Electronic Viewfinder instead of a reflex mirror and prism (thus enabling a much smaller body). Mr Kim was not able to reveal any more details of this system, or whether its first Hybrid camera would look more like the DSLR-style Panasonic Lumix G1 or the rangefinder style Olympus prototype shown at Photokina. He said they would observe consumers' response to these two products with interest.

High-resolution Live View Finder and Free-angle 3-inch 3:2 460,000-dot LCD
High-resolution Live View Finder and Free-angle 3-inch 3:2 460,000-dot LCDPanasonic Lumix DCM-G1 interchangeable lens digital camera highlights
A large, clear, easy-to-see LCD, that rotates 180 degrees horizontally and 270 degrees vertically is upgraded both in size and resolution to be 3.0-inch with 460,000-dot high resolution to offer even more comfortable view for both monitoring when shooting and for playing back the results. Extraordinary 3:2 aspect of the LCD on DMC-G1 is familiar to those who are used to analog film cameras. The G1 is designed for easy viewing, no matter where your photographic pursuits take you. When the lighting around you changes, the LCD changes too. The Auto Power LCD function automatically boosts brightness by as much as 40 percent, depending on the shooting condition. The LCD monitor remains easy to see at all times. This helps make framing a shot with Full-time Live View even easier.
The DMC-G1's Live View Finder has the large 1.4x (0.7x on 35mm equiv.) magnification and the 100-percent field of view as the optical viewfinders on high-end digital SLR cameras. This, plus the 1,440,000-dot equivalent resolution, makes it easy to shoot the exact image the camera sees. Surprisingly, when you look into the viewfinder, a sensor automatically turns the Live View Finder on and the LCD off. You enjoy smoother, easier shooting without having to switch the setting of display.
Full-time Live View and Contrast AF

Full-time Live View and Contrast AF
With the G1 users enjoy the advantages of Full-time Live View not only when viewing the LCD, but when using the electronic viewfinder too. The G1's viewfinder system retains the outstanding viewability of an optical viewfinder and can also display information about camera settings that the user can see without taking his or her eye from the subject. This is one of the ways Full-time Live View uses digital technology to give the photographer useful new features and functions. In addition to a mirror-less structure, the G1 features a high-resolution 1,440,000-dot equivalent Live View Finder.
A clever built-in eye sensor automatically switches on the viewfinder when the user looks into it, then switches it off and turns on the 3.0-inch high-resolution 460,000-dot LCD (which boasts a wide viewing angle) when the user looks away from the viewfinder. The 60-frames-per-second Live View is made possible by the Live MOS sensor, which takes signals directly from the image sensor and sends them continuously to the LCD, in real time. You can use either auto focus or manual focus while using the Full-time Live View.
Both the Live View Finder and LCD provide a 100 percent field of view. This allows the user, when composing a shot, to check the framing accurately from corner to corner.
The G1 introduces a new Contrast AF function that is not only accurate and easy to use, but also very fast. Users can choose from a wide range of AF modes, including multiple-area AF with up to 23 focus areas, 1-area AF with a selectable focus area, Face Detection, and AF Tracking. In the 1-area AF mode, the AF frame size can be changed by simply turning a dial. The G1 also has a Quick AF function that begins focusing as soon as the user aims the camera--no waiting for him or her to press the shutter button halfway. This provides a quicker focusing that can help capture the subject before the crucial moment passes. Continuous AF keeps the subject in focus at all times. With the G1's many auto focus modes, there's an option that's just right for any shooting situation.

ikon D700 Review
ikon D700 Review

Review based on a production Nikon D700
The introduction of Nikon's new D700 may have been one of the worst kept secrets in an industry with more leaks than the Titanic, but it was still something of a surprise coming so hot on the heels of the D3 and D300. Essentially a D3 shrunk down and squeezed into a body roughly the same size as a D300, the D700 is Nikon's first 'compact' professional SLR, and in its segment of the market will compete with the recently announced Canon EOS 5D Mark II and Sony DSLR-A900.
The imaging side of the D700 is pretty much the same as the D3; it shares the acclaimed 12.1MP full frame ('FX') sensor and has the same processing engine, so we would presume output to be almost identical. The main differences (aside from being considerably smaller) are physical; there's a different shutter (good for 150,000 exposures rather than 300,000 on the D3), different viewfinder prism (with 95% coverage) and a slower burst rate. You also lose the rear LCD info panel (there's no room for it) and one of the D3's two CF card slots, but you do get a couple of extra features to soften the blow slightly; most notably a self-cleaning sensor and a built-in flash. We'll look a little more in-depth at the differences between the D3 and D700 in a moment.
The D700 joins the D3 as a fully-fledged 'professional' model; it has the same tank-like build quality (though we're sure the pop-up flash will cause a few raised eyebrows), and gets you the full pro service from Nikon. And the pricing (around $2999) reflects this; anyone hoping for an 'affordable' semi-pro full frame Nikon SLR will have to wait until the cost of producing such large sensors falls considerably.
