Samsung unveiled the NX100 at Photokina 2010

Samsung has announced the new NX100 digital camera at Photokina 2010. The NX100 is a mirrorless bridge camera with Amoled screen. 

The Samsung NX100 is a new entry in the compact mirrorless digital camera space, and is a sleek 14Mp model which can also record 720p HD video.

Inside the NX100 there's a large APS-C CMOS sensor, and users can also swap between lenses. Samsung's new 'i-Function' lens system establishes a communication between the lens and the camera body to help users get the best result from the optics they attach to the NX100.
