Next Samsung crystal ball announcement: “Mirrorless will outsell DSLRs by 2012/2013 says Samsung”

Samsung is making a new strong pro-mirrorless statement (and they have many interests to do so because they do not sell DSLRs anymore). SanJing Park, head of Samsung’s Digital Imaging Business siad that: “The mirrorless camera will be the new locomotive of digital camera market growth going forward and it will take over the SLR market in 2012 or 2013” and “The new segment is already attracting consumers from compact users and will grab further market share by adding more consumers from the SLR category“

Reminder: Futuresource predicted that the “higher average retail price of an interchangeable lens compact, compared to an entry-level DSLR, will limit growth of this sector.“

There will be certainly a big mirrorless market share growth when Canon and Nkon will join the party in 2011!
