Samsung WB5000 Megazoom

[Biro]

Looks like Samsung is coming out with a fixed-lens 24x megazoom camera - as a separate project from the APS-C NX camera. Check out CNet Asia:

Nice-looking camera. 24x zoom starting at 26mm... that takes you out to 624mm. I wonder if this is a typical 1/2.3 sensor found in most of these cameras... or something a bit nicer, like 1/1.6?
