Photorumors found the proof of the NX-R existence. It also confirms that the camera will have built-in WiFi. And the ex Partner of Samsung…Pentax published another APS-C lens patent for a mirrorless camera. It’s a 16-55mm zoom lens (Source: Egami).
I really hope Samsung NX-R will be the one cam that helps the NX system to gain some momentum. More competition (and options) we have better it is for all of us 🙂

ill beleive it when i see it.
Samsung has so far failed to provide an interesting option. I remain skeptical for electronics companies to become good camera makers. Sony is on the edge, their NEX7 is half computer, half camera and Sony has after years failed to understand the importance of good lenses for a system. Samsung is no better.
I like the image of the prototype. Although I believe the production version will be nothing like it.

WiFi would not make it any better than the others.
tbh i havent used them but i hear that the samsung lenses are actually quite good…the problem being that there arent many to choose from
i believe that samsung could achieve a foothold in the market share, but the body styles held them back. If you look at the results of the NX cameras they can perform reasonably well. With a nice body and very nice primes, a rangefinder style mirrorless could upstart their market share.
Finaly a good move from Pentax, aps-c finaly gets a 24mm wide standard 3x zoom that any decent p&s has.
Samsung mirrorless camera is difficult to cause real home to discuss the fact that Samsung has the basic techniques, as well as deputy factory fittings are the lack of topicality.
Here are some personal insights.
Market rumors SONY and Pentax Full Size CMOS mirrorless camera will be introduced; Samsung has denied the mirrorless products will be introduced to the Full Size CMOS, but if Samsung would still like to have achievements in high-end camera market, should be too late before considering the introduction.
Samsung should also be in the opponent has the ability to mass production of the X3 CMOS before, as soon as possible the multa-layer image sensor and other new technologies to introduce the NX Series, otherwise the high-grade the mirrorless will step the NX10 footsteps.
In addition, earlier lucky enough to hear the official open Samsung NX system messages to other lens manufacturers, Samsung itself should also develop their own unique and attractive lens material, coating, grinding and casting technology of the lens.
mirrorless and DC market place is the mirrorless the potential buyers, most of these things have a certain understanding, but also extremely concerned about; other manufacturers have introduced new technology often can be in focus.
Determined to have penetrated the high-end market such as Samsung can not just let people know your lens iFn, as well as advanced P-series lenses, this is not what they care about, is difficult to make these technical preconditions peace of mind.
Finally, I consider the certification of Samsung can be relatively high-end camera introduction kodak professional to adjust the camera, the RAW file to select the compression ratio imaging of each white balance white balance orientation (like the warm tone and cold tone still loyal to the primary colors and the like), peace of mind; kodak certification order does not believe the performance of Samsung digital RAW files you can select the compression ratio and can choose the white balance, color orientation, in fact, is no longer small manufacturers to join the camera.
They’ve lost it. Even if they put more money into the system which doesn’t have enough differentiation with the other APS-C systems they still need to put yet more money into marketing and ensuring that these products get to the right shelves!
When Sony Alpha started there was a lot of money spent to get these things into photography stores with their own stands. I swear there were dedicated Sony Alpha pop-ups at the time too. They built-up some loyalists but they dropped the ball a bit hardware-wise and are only getting back to form with the recent and rumoured future announcements.
If Olympus is relatively hard to spot in photography stores then Samsung will have a hard time selling their system. There is also the reputation they have with P&S. Samsung cameras are the ones I see constantly sold at severely discounted prices. They have become the new Kodak in this way. This wipes off any shine the NX has given to Samsung Imaging.
When Sony started the Alpha, all they did was recycle the system from Minolta’s trash bin.
