A new set of leaked pictures, supposedly showing the Samsung NX20 have appeared online, ahead of what is expected to be an imminent release date.
Samsung was one of the early adopters of mirrorless technology, introducing the APS-C sized NX10 back in January 2010.
However, it has not competed well against rival brands including Panasonic, Olympus, Nikon and Sony, who all stand above it in the league charts.
Specs
The Samsung NX20 has been rumoured for a while now, and it is said to have a 20.3 million pixel APC-S CMOS sensor.Other rumoured specs include 8fps continuous drive mode, in-built Wi-Fi, full HD video recording and a built in flash and electronic viewfinder.
Samsung's unique 'i-Function' lenses will almost definitely compatible. The lenses allow for certain functions, including aperture to be controlled directly from the lens itself, rather than on the camera body.
It would also make sense for Samsung to include Wi-Fi, as it already uses the technology in several of its compact cameras.
The leaked pictures show that t he NX20 has a DSLR-style chassis, which would keep it inline with some other Samsung NX products, but moves away from the more 'compact' stylings of the NX200.
Rumours suggest that the NX20 will be announced in May 2012, while there have also been murmurings that other products, including an NX1000 and NX300 will also be making an appearance this year.
Given the prevalence of mirrorless models in the market now, and with almost every other camera brand bringing something to the area, it will be interesting to see how Samsung responds.
