Samsung really crossed the streams when it announced the Galaxy NX Android camera back in June – mashing up a high-end mirrorless camera with Android. It's a rather bizarre idea, but actually looks like an interesting device. Samsung neglected to announce a price, though. Well, now it has, and you're not going to like it. The Galaxy NX will cost $1,599 for the body with no lens, or $1,699 for the body and a standard 18-55mm zoom lens.

The Galaxy NX has a 20.3-megapixel APS-C sensor, ISO sensitivity up to 25,600, 1080p video recording, and a 4.8-inch 720p touchscreen. It is powered by a 1.6GHz quad-core Exynos processor and runs Android 4.2.2 with full access to Google services. The camera has WiFi, of course, but there should also be LTE connectivity. Although, Samsung neglected to mention it in the PR. Odd.

Pricing leaks in the UK previously suggested a retail price of nearly $2,000. It's not quite that spendy, but still up there. If $1,599-1,699 sounds like a reasonable amount of money for what is probably a good camera, then start saving your pennies. The Galaxy NX should be on sale through Samsung and other outlets sometime in October. Full PR is below.
