Mpix madness in DSLR range too?!?
I’m dissapointed to see that the megapixel madness is starting to “infect” the DSLR class. And we’ve seen where that leads. Image quality of today’s compact cameras is in most cases worse then it was 3 years ago. Although Nikon has managed not only to get away with 12 mpix on their APS-C (D300), but to make a big step forward regarding image quality, especially regarding low noise levels at high ISO settings. I don’t believe Samsung is able to raise the bar that higher, but lets sit back and wait for first reviews of the production model. Note that putting 14.6 mpix on APS-C sized sensor is like cramming over 34 mpix on FF. I wonder which lens can resolve such resolution? Here are the specs (source Dpreview) that were posted on the Norwegian’s distributor for Samsung:
Specs:
14.6 MP (CMOS)
Good old SR
Resistant to rain,sand and dust
Double dust removal on image sensor(whatever that means)
2.7″ LCD
Live view
One-press raw(as in K10D I guess)
ISO 3200
Price 10% more than K10D when it was introduced here in Norway
