Weird new antiques or retro style?
Quite often, photo camera manufacturers try to differentiate themselves one from each other and, for a few years, they only got two ideas: colorful cameras retro-styled cameras that try not to look old Two recent examples: A white Nikon V1 and a retro-styled Samsung NX-200 RS (with only a metalized plastic top to distance itself…

Pentax EVIL will not use Samsung tech
Mr. Eguchi Kazumichi, Head of Marketing at the Pentax Imaging Systems Division, has made an interesting statement: “Pentax are no longer in bed with Samsung, and they will not use Samsung NX technology.” This is one of the clearest and most public statements reflecting the divorce between Hoya/Pentax and Samsung. It seems that the Korean…

How Pentax and Samsung got to partner on photo lenses [Fun]
I got this nice little funny text from Lithos in the Pentax Forums. Please, notice that it may (or may not) be what really happened. Here’s how Samsung gets Schneider Kreuznach to make lenses for ’em: SAMSUNG: “We’re making a play, like every other man and his giant-electronics-corporation dog, for the digital camera market. Unfortunately,…

PMA 2010
The PMA in Las Vegas is now arriving fast. After a long time of little rumors, here comes the moment for big rumors, but not the actual revelations yet. Nikon has been telling the world that they intended to have a great year 2010. It seems that they will bring a new DSLR (it could…
Samsung news
Assuredly, Samsung decided to shake the market of mirror-less SLR (how can we name these cameras?) since the official launch of the Samsung NX-10. They open a new Korean web site at http://www.samsungimaging.co.kr/ which is -for now- dedicated to the NX-10 but which will certainly be the spearhead of the 2010-2011 marketing efforts around the…
Pentax reviews
I just updated the tests/reviews in the database of the SLR photo cameras, mostly for the Pentax and Samsung cameras (and some Nikon, Sony, Canon, too).

Samsung NX-10 seems to be coming soon
It seems true, indeed. Just see the number of posts about it on K-Rumors. If I wanted to sum it up, I would say the following. Since months already, it is clear that Samsung and Pentax are no longer living a love affair. The Korean company parted and now thinks a lot about being independent…
Samsung NX-10, ready to land
It seems that Samsung started to leak marketing data about a new NX-series camera that could be launched in November 2009. We don’t know much (Samsung would be giving details in August, but launching real products only at the end of the year), but there should be a few notable features: No in-body image stabilization…
Pentax K30D, still in preparation?
The Pentax representatives and PR people keep telling us that the Pentax K20D is not replaced by the newest Pentax K-7. So, what? Do you replace the K20D or not? The answer could come from Samsung, forever-partner of Pentax for digital SLR photo cameras. The network of informers in direct contact with Samsung keeps repeating…
