Samsung NX10 specs leaked (maybe) in a forum in Japan

There is a lot of discussion in the PentaxForums forums as K-rumors points to a post at the Japanese photofan forums where a poster (with 15 posts) has posted what appear to be the specifications of the first Samsung NX-series camera, the NX-10.

The alleged leak does not seem to disagree in principle with yesterday's Let's Go post.

We obviously have no way of verifying the forum specs claim, but either way, the most important thing missing is information about the lenses, which is going to be a very critical factor in the success of the Samsung NX-series.

Already one person in the PentaxForums is proclaiming the "death of Micro 4/3rds". On the other hand, as you can see in the reviews at M43reviews.com, Micro Four Thirds has already built-up momentum, with dpreview et al having an opticgasm over the GF1 and the 20mm f1.7 pancake.

And here lies one of the problems/challenges for Samsung. Unlike Panasonic which started early with serious cameras (LC5, LC1, L1, L10), Samsung has only made one serious camera of its own, Big Daddy Pro-815. Other than that, they have four rebranded Pentax DSLRs and everything else is at best a mid-range compact camera. And that's not counting the reviews of said cameras.
