I don't see a viewfinder on the front, so I'm guessing that's a dSLR. Coolio.

The Marketing Research people at Samsung will love your approach, lol.
It has an EVF (Electronic ViewFinder). It's offset to the left side of the camera instead of being in the normal top-center position.

That looks a well specified camera! Could give the DSLR a good run for their money. It will be interesting to see what the lens is like at both ends of the range.
In fact, I can a few 300D users with limited budgets making the move to the camera!

As important as the size of the LCD is the number of pixels. I have not seen a spec on what the resolution is. Hopfully at very least 250,000 pixels at that size.

i noticed it on dpreview a few days ago. Looks impressive but the most important question still remains to be answered - does this beast take good photos?

Maybe for those people that want the lcd preview with some of the extra capabilities. And not the added cost of lenses.

| I don't really understand that design. Looks like it's targeted for people who want to hook up the camera to printer as soon as they can. That could be it. |

| I do understand the atraction for the people whom use P&S cameras but wouldnt the idea of upgrading to a boby like a 300d or d50 make more sense? at the very least your getting something to grow with, not a bigger P&S. |

Lots. Today, it would be $1089.

However - the UK camera market is generally far more expensive than the US market - so a simple currency conversion is not an adequate reflection of the price. Plus when it comes to most cameras the recommended retail price is generally more than they sell for A digital rebel for instance can be had for around 630 pounds (on a quick flip through a UK magazine). The recommended retail is however more like 750 pounds. (A digital rebel can be had for about 750 US dollars at bhphoto - which after conversion is roughly 300-400 dollars less than the same camera in the UK).
If I had to guess - I'd say it'd be available for around the $700 US mark - I doubt it'd be more than 800.

...and bulk, and liability. P&S cameras have some really nice advantages over DSLR's, and depending upon what you are going for, they can be better. They are easier to carry, lighter, smaller, more discreet, often more durable and weather-resistant (well, depending upon the camera), have an LCD that you can use to preview your shot, have LCD's that swivel so you can get the odd-angle shots, not expensive (again, depends), come ready to go or are at the least easy to learn, offer lots of built-in scene modes for those of us who haven't figured out how to do those on our own yet, shoot movies (for those who care), and no problems whatsoever with dusty, dirty sensors.
Now, do P&S cameras take the best photos? Technical quality-wise, no. The art, however, depends on the photographer. I don't think many people give a damn about image quality down to the most minute detail on a very beautiful and well executed photograph. Look at BradP and Joeylawrence - two outstanding photographers with less than spectacular cameras.
I, for one, hope to resist the temptation to jump into the DSLR market for the next decade or so...let the cameras companies duke it out a bit, work out the major bugs, and really make DSLR's the best option both for usability and quality. Also, I take pretty bad photographs for the time being, and I can do that with a $300 camera as well as I can with a $1500 camera and another $1000 in lenses.
Whew...

I don't think I could go back to an EVF after having to do the Spray and Pray on so many action shots with my P&Sers...Give me Through the Lens
[not @ coolhar]
Also what is the big deal with the big LCD, are they catering to the Chimpers? Is this so shooters can look at every picture and delete each one they don't like...
...get bigger CF and take pictures instead of looking at the back of the camera every 4 seconds.
Just a bigger surface area to scracth geared at the shop for cameras during the holidays market... (ok that was a little more than 2 cents but it is still only mine) :)

I'm getting into the habit af hardly looking at the picture and looking more at the histogram. I seem to get better results when I pay attention to the data there.
