Samsung published that great NX1 4K video shot in Madagascar. Looks great and definitely much better than their current financial results 🙂
Reuters reports:
Samsung Electronics Co Ltd is heading for its first annual earnings drop since 2011 after it revealed its July-September profit would be the lowest in more than three years and said short-term prospects for smartphones were uncertain.
Until now Samsung seemed to be “Immune” to the crisis and unlike many Japanese competitor it was doing well in the smartphone market (not so in the camera market). Hopefully Samsung will recover soon as Panasonic did (and not end like Sony!).

Samsung is not in the same position as Sony, even though profit dropped, it was still almost $4 billion US profit for the quarter. Sony was posting billion dollar losses.

I’m guessing the blurry ones are the nikon as that glass isn’t really a macro lens so in my mind thats the easy one to pick out lol… maybe ?>?
Recently I read an article about nx1 being able to sample at 240fps, full res. But the specs report only 60fps recorded at full HD.
They have to implement 120/240fps if they want to rise the videographer’s heads.
Samsung wouldn’t probably “recover”. They have predicted that “fall” themselves 2-3 years ago: growth came from the mobile market, mostly because competitors were really really far behind. But the comeback of HTC (with the HTC One), Sony (with the Z1) and especially Motorola (with the cheap Moto G) basically spelled the end of the Samsung’s unchallenged reign in the mobile market. Thus, the drop in the market share and the drop of the revenue over the last two years. Any kind of recovery would depend largely on the growth of the markets.

NX1 IQ looks more and more promising…
Even compared to current breed of FF if one is more interested in low ISO IQ.
Of course, technology will move on and it looks like 50MP is now the new 24 for FF
…
I must remember to buy a new PC…
Yes, that’s the biggest drawback for big files. My old q6600@3200mhz with 4gb of overclocked ddr2 now struggles to process 20mp files in lightroom. Go figure with 50mp…
I am a little underwhelmed when comparing the images to the omd. I download the image and have a better look.
