Samsung NX10 camera

The Samsung NX10 hopes to capitalise on the headway hybrid cameras like thePanasonic Lumix GF1 and Olympus Pen E-P1 hybrid models have made, bridging the gap between a compact camera and a standard regular DSLR model. But has Samsung cracked it with the NX10? We managed to get a brief hands-on look with the new model at both the US and UK launch events.

The premise of this and other "hybrid" models is incredibly simple - people want the ability to take better pictures without having to lug around a bulky DSLR model that is unlikely to fit in their bag let alone their pocket.
