Yesterday, there was growing online speculation that Nikon had acquired Samsung\u2019s NX camera technology in a move that would enable Nikon to make a professional compact system camera.<\/p>\n

However, in a statement sent to Amateur Photographer<\/em> (AP) this morning, a Samsung spokesperson said: \u2018Media reports that Nikon is allegedly buying our NX technology are not true.\u2019<\/p>\n

A Nikon spokesperson yesterday told AP that the company does not comment on rumours, which originated from a report by website Mirrorless Rumors<\/a>.<\/p>\n

Last week, Samsung confirmed that it is set to phase out camera sales<\/a> in the UK.<\/p>\n\"Samsung<\/a>\n

The news followed reports that Samsung planned to discontinue the NX1 in Europe.<\/p>\n

Samsung\u2019s move to pull out of the UK camera market comes less than a decade after\u00a0it entered the global DSLR market.<\/p>\n

Samsung first announced its own brand of DSLRs in January 2006 following a tie-up with historic camera maker Pentax.<\/p>\n

Samsung\u2019s first DSLR was the six-million-pixel GX-1S \u2013 its own version of the Pentax *ist DS2.<\/p>\n

The 10MP Samsung GX-10 followed later that year, based on the Pentax K10D.
\nIn 2009, Samsung used the PMA Show in the US as the launchpad for its NX series of hybrid-digital cameras.<\/p>\n

The NX was billed as a new concept, offering the performance and image quality of a DSLR but with the portability and convenience of a compact point-and-shoot model.<\/p>\n

But the South Korean giant has not announced an NX camera since the NX500 in February this year.<\/p>\n
