Speaking at this week\u2019s CES<\/a>, Dirk Jesper,\u00a0product manager for Professional Products and Product Planning at Nikon Europe, gave his reaction.<\/p>\nJesper told AP: \u2018As you learn from the media, and also from official feedback, that was a hoax.<\/p>\n
\u2018There was never anybody really talking about it.\u2019<\/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.<\/p>\n
In 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
A UK-based Samsung spokesperson last night said the company was unable to comment on which countries have stopped the sales and distribution of cameras and\/or camcorders, adding that \u2018it\u2019s up to each individual market\u2019.<\/p>\n
Neither would Samsung divulge whether the company still makes cameras.<\/p>\n
