Darren, The new Samsung sensor (already found in the NX200) is much better than the old one. It's not at the level of Sony's 16MP pixie dust CMOS (as found on the K-5), but it's not that far behind. I always felt the two main things let down the NX10 were the sensor (at high ISOs) and its small buffer. The sensor has now been improved and I'm hoping the buffer has too, seeing as they're listing an 8 fps rate. It appears the EVF is also better, and the camera now has a swivel rear AMOLED. WiFi is a great addition (and not a gimmick in my view). Though not highlighted much, the NX20 now has a 2nd contol wheel on the back, in the Canon style of rotating dial around the 4-way controller: http://1.s.img-dpreview.com/files/articles/4755461255/NX20back.jpg?v=1474 I'm hoping that the video REC buttom can be customised to AF; that alone could convince me to buy it. Price (with new kit lens) is $1,100. I hope they also offer a body-only for $1,000 (or less!), which is what I'd want to buy. For those interested in comparing the new sensor with their eyes (not with DxO numbers), here it is on DPR: http://www.dpreview.com/reviews/samsungnx200/18 I suggest choosing the NX10, K-5 and Sony NEX-7 as the comparison cameras and looking at the RAW files. For those wondering why Samsung shouldn't be dismissed, consider their prime lens line-up: - 16mm f/2.4 pancake - 20mm f/2.8 pancake - 30mm f/2 pancake - 55mm f/1.8 (pancake? to be released this year) - 60mm f/2.8 macro - 85mm f/1.4 And no, I am not paid by Samsung, nor have they loaned/gifted me any equipment. I bought an NX10 + 30mm f/2 last September and have been shooting with it exclusively since then. My K10D + 31 Ltd remain untouched on the shelf. Anyody want to buy a K10D...?

Re: Is this the Camera Pentax should have built?
I would miss having image stabilization. In the lens is okay, but it adds cost over and over again, if you purchase multiple lenses. And since I frequently shoot with longer lenses in low light, I'm a big fan of IBIS. Paul On Apr 21, 2012, at 11:47 AM, Bob Sullivan wrote: I'll have to think about that Miserere.

Re: Is this the Camera Pentax should have built?
That would kind of depend on the IQ of the sensor. Personally I think the Sony Nex-7 with a KAF adapter module that contains a focusing motor for legacy lenses. It looks like a much cleaner design.

Re: Is this the Camera Pentax should have built?
It's all about individual usage, Bob. If I were shooting landscapes hand-held, then I might miss it more, but shooting people (whether indoors or out) I need at least 1/60s shutter speeds to stop movement, and doing that with a 30mm lens means IS would be of no help. If I were using a 60mm or 85mm, then IS would definitely help at those shutter speeds. Samsung's 60mm f/2.8 does have IS, but bizarrely, their 85mm f/1.4 doesn't. For what it's worth, when I use the 77 Ltd (via adapter) I can shoot at 1/50s - 1/60s without much issue. Now, when I shoot my 200mm or 400mm primes I do miss IBIS :-) —M. \/\/o/\/\ -- http://WorldOfMiserere.com http://EnticingTheLight.com A Quest for Photographic Enlightenment On 21 April 2012 11:47, Bob Sullivan rf.sulli...@gmail.com wrote: I'll have to think about that Miserere.
