It seems like camera companies are starting to rally over what to call the compact mirrorless DSLR, digital interchangeable lens, EVIL and what-not digital camera: the CSC, short for Compact System Camera. Not bad.
In this interview, Samsung product managers discuss their plan and vision for the NX Series, especially the lenses.

There is also a picture of some early prototypes with retro rangefinder and 120 roll film box looks (the square/medium format was popular with pro photographers for the large negatives). The latter is especially interesting, if any of you still remembers square roll film. There is something about a square format that does not require the photographer to decide whether to take a landscape or portrait perspective. It’s more challenging to compose for a square format (without cropping) — but so much more enriching. Consider that in a landscape or portrait perspective, you are throwing away a lot of the image that the camera can actually capture. Will Samsung bring back the square format? I doubt it, but the fact that they seemed to have considered it is interesting.
