Samsung has certainly a much more appealing Lens roadmap than Sony. Today you can see the very first images of the upcoming Samsung 60mm f/2.8 Macro at SamsungImaging (Click here) and SLRforum (Click here). You can preorder the lens at BHphoto (Click here).

Samsung is doing very well on the introduction speed of the lens roadmaps , compare with Sony .
Sony needs to split it’s R&D Lens resources between the A-Mount and the E-Mount. Sony is committed to both mounts so they will always be limited this way. Canon and Nikon will have similiar issues when they enter the mirrorless field. Samsung, Panasonic and Olympus don’t have this issue so I expect them to continue having the widest variety of lenses.
Sony lens roadmap is a disaster.
thats why there is this petition…

Any news about the NX200, NX20 etc? Samsung has almost the opposite problem from Sony. Sony has a good set of bodies with a mediocre leans roadmap. Samsung has a great set of lenses but no news about any decent bodies coming up. They definitely need a better sensor to compete with current APS-C sensors or for that matter the sensors in latest m43 bodies like G3 and GH2. Plus a good EVF will be welcomed as well.
I thought the rumor was that the bodies will be announced in July? Any updates on new announcement dates?
