Nikon to acquire Samsung NX technology

There are rumors in the IT world that Nikon, one of the world's leading manufacturers of optics, has acquired NX technology developed by Korean company Samsung. According to the PetaPixel online portal, this event can turn the digital camera industry on its head.

It's no secret that Samsung leaves the market for mirrorless digital cameras. The company has officially stopped the supply of cameras in some European countries. Such actions on the part of Samsung could not but cause bewilderment among both brand loyalists and analysts, because the company entered the “mirrorless” market quite vigorously, and its last two cameras had great success with buyers. Like it or not, this should be a logical explanation ... According to rumors, the fact that Samsung was selling technology to the Japanese giant Nikon may be the reason why Samsung left this market segment.

There is information that Samsung plans to publicize the deal at the annual International Consumer Electronics Show (CES), which will take place in January (if, of course, all of this turns out to be true), early next year.

How can Nikon use NX technology? With her, the company could develop its own professional mirrorless cameras. Probably, the technology will be refined in accordance with the vision of management and engineers of the company. Earlier, Japanese titans Nikon and Canon were lagging behind in pursuit of innovations that can be used to benefit the development of the mirrorless digital camera sector growing at a tremendous speed. And it would be logical to assume that both companies are looking for their competitive solutions and are developing their own mirrorless technologies to fight Sony, which is ahead of them in this segment. Such a deal can serve as a signal that the intentions of companies are very serious, and soon the world of cameras will change, and Sony will have a serious competitor in the segment of mirrorless digital cameras.
