Re: Samsung Nikon tie-up?

Hot rumor about this right now. If it proves true and Nikon comes out with new mirrorless cameras using Samsung tech, wonder how Canon will respond or be impacted with their M line.

I'll wait to see this .. I suspect it's an agreement for sensors and moving away from Sony for Nikon, however the rest?

seems odd.

For starters moving to a new processor and OS would be a prohibitive cost.

Integration of samsung stuff into the existing nikon ecosystem, i doubt would be a trivial expense.

Also the theory was that this was leaked by someone high up in samsung - right, can you imagine the gag orders with this?

Also why could nikon buy out "everything" from samsung - for starters, they already know how to do fast AF on sensors (see nikon 1) they don't "need" samsung's technology which would be incompatible with their existing stuff.

Not to mention, there's no money in mirrorless as we've already seen.
