Samsung Hybrid Digital Camera: Game Changer?

Mar 2, 2009

Per DPR Samsung's CEO indicated:

“We estimate that the hybrid digital camera market will be over 20% of the global digital still camera market by 2012,” said Sang-jin Park, CEO of Samsung Digital Imaging Company. “With the release of the NX Series, a digital camera that combines the strengths of a DSLR and compact digital camera, Samsung Digital Imaging will become a global leader in the new hybrid digital camera market and achieve the company’s goal to become the global leader in the digital camera market by 2012.”

Is the release of the hybrid digital camera using an APS sensor without reflex mirror a game changer? Innovations can turn the tables in the electronic industry. Can this be one of them? Your thoughts?
