Panasonic is announcing the LX8 - and Samsung?

After the launch of the SONY RX100m3 and the probable upgrade from PANASONIC, is there any chance SAMSUNG will bring a successor to the EX2F?

Anybody hear a rumor?

Keep the camera categories in mind....

Keep in mind that the rumored 1" sensor models pending release from Nikon (P8000), Olympus(?), and Panasonic (LX8) are in a totally different camera category.  And Samsung did release their NX Mini (with 1" sensor) which puts that model in this category.  Canon already has their larger than 1" sensor GX 1 II in play.  It looks like most manufacturers will be going this route.

The industry is moving to 1"for premium compacts. So it is inevitable Samsung will go the same path.
