Getting a head start on the PMA ’09 photography conference, which officially kicks off in Las Vegas Tuesday, Samsung has announced a new so-called hybrid digital camera. The new camera, the NX Series, is designed to provide the photo quality of large pro and prosumer DSLR cameras in the body of a small point-and-shoot.

Like conventional DSLRs, NX Series cameras use an APS-C sized image sensor, which provides a large surface area for gathering light, according to Samsung.
