Apparently Samsung may build camera with 1" sensor. Nikon and Sony both made cameras with similar sized sensors. Immensely popular Sony RX100 is a truly compact camera with 20MP 1" sensor, while RX10 is an extremely appealing high-end model boosting 24-200mm F2.8 lens in front of a similar sensor. Nikon 1 system has several bodies and lenses.
Compact cameras with 1" sensor provide both convenience of and high image quality, and it is good to see other manufactures going this route. After release of Sony RX100 the web was full of expectations and speculation about other cameras from other companies, especially Olympus. However, most camera makers decided to put smaller (back-illuminated) sensors in their advanced compacts. Fuji kept 2/3" sensor in X20, but it is twice smaller than 1" sensor.
