It was back in 2008 when Samsung Manager Kyong-Kook Shin suggested that “the firm is actively pursuing development of a full-frame CMOS sensor intended for use in a professional camera” (Source AP). But at that time they thought they would launch it as a DSLR model.
According to a new anonymous source Samsung secretly worked on the development of a new Full Frame mirrorless camera that will be launched in March! If that is true they will beat on time both Sony and Fuji that are rumored to launched their FF mirrorless systems in late 2013 – early 2014. The new camera will be named Samsung NX-R. The name once popped up inside the Samsung support database (now removed).
No specs have been unveiled yet but I hope some other sources may hear the call and can send me an anonymous message at mirrorlessrumors@gmail.com to share some more bits. Thanks!

After all, Samsung was the first to release an APS-C mirrorless. Even if they are always beaten by Fuji and Sony…
Beaten in what department? Last i heard, sonys been bleeding money for years. i wouldnt buy their stocks..would you?
In the camera department. Samsung as a whole is doing good (especially mobile phones) but you can’t ignore that samsungs camera unit is doing far worse than sonys…
I would prefer if Samsung delivers good wide angle and long telephoto lenses instead of delivering constant rumors.
FACTS:
1/
Samsung does not have even ONE decent longer telephoto lens but for some unknown reason produced 3D lens (how many people would buy this expensive useless tool?)
2/
samsung does not have even one good fast wide angle lens.
20 mm lens does not allow to turn off “correction” and is so soft in the edges that it should be called softar. Similar is 16 mm but at least it’s a little faster.
3/
samsung does not have decent flash system. Even small olympus have wonderful flash system where the flashes can be fired remotely.
4/
Good samsung lenses are too big. Samsung macro is twice as big as olympus macro. Samsung, do you sell this lens on “per pound” principle or “per volume” principle?
.
Apparently you can talk over new samsung “smart” cameras, but i need camera to be able to synch flash at 1/500 and have decent lenses. For talking i have cell phone. And I do not feel rush to send my pics to facebook. I can do it in the evening from my computer.
So samsung, i have message for you: producing cameras with “features” nobody needs, will not make you leader. And … YOUR MARKET POSITION perfectly support correctness of my conclusion.
Comon sense, im sure you know that sony A system is bacially a rehash of minolta maxxum. You compare nx to a dslr system? If sony A is doing so well, then take a look at their market position. i bet my ass you wouldt spend money on sony when you can get canon or nikon.
2- of you just compare nx to nex lenses, there is no quation the nx lenses are better. Samsung has a ultra wide zoom, so does sony nex, the nex ultra wide is fater by about one stop..woopy do. Are you looking for utra wide 1.4 lenses? What are you shooting rats in a dark pub with unltra wides at night? when it gets dark f stop negative 1 wont do much to help you.
you say samsung macros are too big comparing to m43 macros. Do you realize that m4 is a smaller sensored camera, and thus has smaller lenses?
You mentioned samsung doe snot have one decent tele lens. Do you think sony nex does have a decent tele lens, let alone any nex lens? You are comparing a dslr system to a mirrorless system?
You mentioned flashes..since when does nex have good flashes? Oh wait, you mean the alpha flashes! Oh, then I can say that Sonys flahses are nowhere as good as canikons then.
so what are you comparing? nx to alpha? the nex and nx arent pro system now anyways..but i like samsung nx lense line over nx any day of the week.
Sony nex bodies are a bit better, but the nx lenses are better. Second, you forget that sony bought the dead minolta. They have minoltas track record of gimmciks and absolutely no direction. Not to mention sonys prices are not helping them either. Sony charges big 2 prices, but they arent even in the same stratosphere as canikon. Sony has A muxxum mount, then nex moiunt, then they made the rx1 and if rumors are ture they wil make FF? Sony must think that money grows on trees or something. With sony, its one thing this year, but gone the next. Look at how long it took for them to put a simple mnode dial on their cameras. Then they finally put 2 on the nex7, followed by what? The nex 6 had a dial on top of a dial. The old saying is, if it aint broke,dont fix it. Sonyminolta doesnt give a shit about camera evolution, its all about buy this but next year it may be gone…cause its all about gimmicks and what will sell. Why do you think minolta went bust? They went around thinking they were canikon, making similar products at a higher price with little support…and who do you think the camera users chose? Its not secret there have been loads of a and maxxum users who have already jumped the ship. From dslrs to slt’s. The truth is there in plain sight and in history. i will never buy sonyminolta products because i know what this companies all about. No foresight, no direction, no CONSISTENCY, fix what aint broken for the sake of fixing it. sony thinks they are the champ of cameras but yeat never gets into the ring to fight canikon. their motto has always been, buy our stuff cause we sais its good enough. Ha! that strategy worked so well for minolta the brand died…and now theyre doing the same shit at Sony. Im sure itll work the second time..not.
I agree with you on the general assessment that Sony are like a headless chicken at the moment. I hope they set a better sense of direction and come up with better products at reasonable prices. If Samsung will prod them to do that, I applaud Samsung. 🙂
one more thing. dont forget that samsung has no history or expertise in making higher end cameras such as nx.For what they are doing its not a bad effort for a first time, considering their nx enses are better than nex lenses. sony was a ps camera nobody ubntil they bought minolta..but the problem is ….minolta. since getting minolta all the sony fans think sonys been making high quality still cameras for a century or so…hadly the case. With all that experience and minoltas so called expertise and they come up with nex? a system so handicapped by the short registry that they cant even make small short primes, let alone decent ones. their zeiss lens is as long as a freaking kit zoom…as is their 35mm and 50mm lens. the only ancake they have is around 2 levels short of the samsung equivalent. I have been around to see this all before with minolta..god damned minolta..i have 5 of their AF lenses and i still have yet to buy a body..and never will. Why? Because minolta and minolta makes products they dont support or justify. |the sony maxxum 70-200 2.8 is non is..its abut 2k. The canon non is lens is around 1300. You think that anybody in their right mind in this world is going to think the sony lens is worth more than the canon equivelent? sonyminota seems to thin so, and so do their fanboys. And that is WHY Sonyminolta will never succeed. Even if Samsung doesnt make it, Sony aint ever going to be the man. You like dslrs? Sorry, now buy our dslT’s. You like nex? sorry we may have a FF system coming up. You like our rx1? sorry, next year its gone. You like our lenses? Pay more than canon or nikon.You like the regular hotshoe? Sorry use our proprietary minolta one…oh no..now its gone. And Sonyminolta wonder why no one, no pros use their system. You want a true pro camera with built in grip that shoots 10fps? No sorry, buy our a99 beacuse we think its good enough for you, so do as we say cause we say were the champs and cause we said so , then it must be true, ignore canon or nikon. LOL. Dont shop around, just buy our stuff, cause we like to tell you what you need and want, and we know better than you consumers. and when you do by our stuff, well then fuck you, next year you get something else. That in a nutshell is why Sonyminotla will NEVER be the champ but pretenders. Id rahter spend little on samsung cameras then waste alot of money on sonyminolta.
Don’t write them off.
A few years ago Korean cars were all considered junk – and a bit earlier so were their TVs. I think Toyota and Sony already know about Korean competition.
Samsung is a huge, highly profitable company – if they throw their resources into it, within a short time it is not unlikely that their cameras will be at least as good as those made by anyone else.
Technically speaking, Leica had the first full frame mirrorless camera in 2009 (remember the 09/09/09 Event?), but that is splitting hairs.
The new M was announced and is yet to show up. A true mirrorless camera that can accept pretty much any lens and is not just RF crippled.
__________
(–[ .]-[ .] /
(_______o__)
the leica is a rngefinder by definition. its from th end of an old and tired line. mirrorless cameras refer to mirrorless AF digital modern cameras.
The new M has live-view and an add-on EVF which makes it pretty much the same as any other mirrorless camera – except it has an additional OVF with an optical rangefinder and has no auto-focus capability.
…but what about lenses??
Otherwise, the sensor size is not what’s holding back the NX. If with the NX-R they wouldn’t change the usual business practices, it would have the same destiny as NX: an underdog.
If Samsung release a new FF mirrorless then they don’t need many lenses as there is no competition at the moment. Fuji launched the X-system with only one body, three lenses and a roadmap. Samsung could do the same, even two primes or a kit zoom and a prime would be a OK start.
They need to improve the processing though, the current models are way too slow at shot to shot when using RAW, and you get some delays even with JPG. The NX300 might be improved though and a full frame and presumably expensive models really need a good and responsive operating system.
+1, Samsung has good optic but lack of good image engine at all. The RAW system is fake and the file actually a renamed TIFF! A lot of the user complained that the write in time is really to long to clear the buffer and drain the the battery quite fast. Also the JPEG is lack of detail when using ISO 800 and over. The other stupid thing is the flange distance is too deep to play with Leica M. It blocks the way of the enthusiasts that it also miss the chance to build the reputation from the expert.
When Kodak got bankrupt I have sparkled an idea that Samsung should threw money to get the patents. Samsung is the one who needs them most. Samsung may be a giant of semi-conductor and mobile device but it doesn’t mean she plays when in image technology. Specification competition isn’t the key of success for a product. Sony knew is best. A900/A850 used to the most economic FF system but she just can’t beat another giant because their image technology is not sound enough although she have good Minolta / Zeiss lens already.
Anyway, that’s too early to comment. But I am still feeling strange that how can the small opening of NX camera to fit in a FF sensor. I hope no adapter is needed for using PK mount lens. The NX 85mm f/1.4 SSA might be the hints but it seems like making a lens similar to Leica M mount design. Quite puzzling…
MC,
oh please, spare me your reguritated jargen. samsung has a lack of a good image engine? In raw , the nx 20s high isos are slightly worse thant sony nex6 or 7. And that’s not even the newest sensor they use. Is that what you call lack of good image engine? If you go by that standard, than every single m43 camera hasnt got a good engine compared to sony nex7. If you go by that misinformed idea than sony nex7 image quality is shit compared to the nikon d800, so then why even use sony, eh? all yure doing is regugitating other peoples biased vomit from around the net, when i tell you if you eve used samsung lenses on their latest nx you wouldnt say such a thing. Sony nex lenses for a lack of a better word is crap. What good is it if you have a decent sensro but your lens are not and costs more than your competition?
and you metnioned the “small opening of samsungs ” mount in fiting a Ff lens. You thnk NEX is any better? LOL. Look at how they cant even make one single decent short prime. Every single nex prime looks as long as a kit zoom. And their 16mm is garbage compared to samsungs 16mm. At least Samsungs got a chance seeing as how they DIDNT make their regiter as short as a pack of matches.If Sony has so much trouble making nex lenses, how on earth are they ever going to do making FF lenses? By bbuilding a new system again? Oh sorry, dont buy our nex no more, weve abandoned it, now buy FF nex cause we said so. Samsung has not one problem making quality nx lenses, not one problem at all.
Well, if Samsung does it this early, it’s gonna shake the market up for 2013, and push Sony and Fuji to make their moves, that’d be awesome
^ becoz of that, i feel bad for Samsung. lots of R&D $ throw into it. but i have yet to see people using 1 of their mirrorless.
does the current Samsung lens cover FF ?
well, they have a 85mm 1.4. that is a FF designation traditionally.
theyre out there..not in your country or twon bu there are nx users. however, i dont see many fuji users and i almost never see m43 premiere lenses being used. and now pano want to make sports lenses…do you ever see any pro sport photog use pano lenses? Do you ever see pros use m43? Id say never.
There are Pros using m4/3 cameras. Just because you have your preferences it doesn’t mean you can spread false info around.
Im not spreading false info. im sure there are pros using disposable film cameras out there too but that doesnt make it a choice for most pros. All you need to do is go outside to your city and not some m43 fanclub and bring a pen along with you and count how many and of what cameras folks use. you can also go to sports and newsevents and see what camera pros use. it’s all there for you to see, your eyes wont lie to you. You can even do a survey and ask strangers on the streets to name one or two brand names pros they seen or think pros use. I can garantee you that most will not say olympus or panasonic.
Don’t be silly, most professionals dont use medium format either, but it is still acceptable.
Numbers dont make up a professional designation, neither does lens availability or support… actually as far as I know the professional designation goes to the 12 inches behind the viewfinder.
The truth is Samsung is not as competitive as Sony, or m43rds, or even Fuji for that matter. They have put out a few bodies and lenses that havent really captured the imagination of photographers, will a FF mirrorless do it? With good AF and lenses, why not?
However if they do it will not be a real competitor to m43rds where the body and lens size, weight etc. plays a big part in the systems success. It will be a FF system with its inherent advantages and limitations.
The truth is, m43rds has a great deal of support, from third party lens makers, to the benefits of having 2 companies dedicated to fleshing out the lens lineup. That is a real advantage… actually if a competitor wanted to attach m43s they should release an high MP (say around 30) APSC body with a m43rds mount and design APSC lenses for the mount, so m43rds users can migrate over if they like… Otherwise, as time goes on, and people buy into m43rds it becomes entrenched by the lens ownership, just as Cano and Nikon own DLSRs for that reason.
|so now you are abraham. Ok, i never said samsung is as well known in the camera world as sony and panny and oly,. buy hey geuss what, sony, apnny and oly arent as well known to everyone as canon and nikon.
Dude, you make it sound like canikon cares about the tiny pie known as the mirrorless market. It may be big in japan, but only there is it. Truth is, they dot give a shit about the m43 mirrorless market, and im telling you from experience with selling cameras hthat MOST ppl ask for and still buy ps camera or dslrs…period. you wishful thinking and LOVE for the mirrorless systems dont mean sqaut to real buying customers. i dont use dslrs anymore myself, but im not delusional to ignore what my customers ask for. You can imagine the world is full of ppl using m43 and fuji xpro1 and sony, but friendo, the truth is..it is NOT. You need not look at even stats, just go outside today and see with your won EYES what ppl are using on the streets…it gonna be all ps and dslrs and megazoom point an shoot cams.go to big stores and watch what ppl buy.
You say numbers dont make up a professional designation. I dont know where to begin with that statement. All i can say is if you went into business with that mindset and philosphy, you’d be BANKRUPT faster than you can say m43’s. ?You can LOVE m43 all you want, but dont let that cloud logic. You like to think that m43 can be a pro system but the turth is most pros do not use m43. you would like to beleive you can shoot better on a m43 camera but the turth is you can shoot the exact same thing on any old dslr. you can think that everyone you know is buying m43 but the truth is that most are not. Im just calling a duck a duck, man. you dont have to be in the camera business to know that.
You mention success in m43. do you know how small that market is overall in the camera pie? Do you? i can tell you if you dont know that its pretty tiny. You are so clouded by your biased love for m43 and csc that you cannot even see real reason anymore..and you have tunnel thinking where you just listen to your own wishful thinking, and as i said , if you went into business, you be broke very fast.
You mention pros usage. Have you ever seen a sports photog use a big huge tele with an olympus pen? do you know what it feels like to hold a tiny camera one one hand with a big tele? You think that all those pros are wrong and you are right?
you tell me not to be silly and you throw the statement about medium format and acceptability. I never said medium format was not acceptable. I dont doubt that m43 has alot of support..but, its still tiny compared to dslrs and ps cameras. Those are facts i see daily at work or on the streets. im sure canon or nikon have those in their stats.
You also mentioned m43 having 2 companies fleshing out lens line…do you know how many lenses canon and nikon have in their own line already? Do you not see how many ppl onthe streets carrying highend premium canikon lenses? Do you see alot fo foks lugging premium m43 lenses around? not where im fron they dont, and i live in a big metroploltan city. you sound like the world is using oly panny lenses. you can safely bet your house that its not the case.
When i make obvious statements, its folks like you for some reason see it as some personal attack on yourself and your love for m43 and how i must be working for nikon or canon to keep your m43 down. your wishful thinking about m43 is doing it no good, and your ilogical statements against canon or nikon make you look like some super fanboy. Canon and Nikon is number 1 and 2, i dont have a dslr and even i know this. until m43 can address cost and lack of VF or ovf or even affordable evfs they will never make a big dent…never. I have no desire to sugar coat hard facts, unlike you. Your way of thining is going to get m43 nowhere, and neither is their thinking. Even Panasonic has come out to say that most ppl in their studies prefer to wait for canon mirrorless than buy another brand.
Has the eos m mae waves? NO, it hasnt.unlike you i can see the facts. But you know what? canon has NO intention of building a super csc to kill off their dslr pie only to try to regain it in the csc market. That is simple economics. business is run by prfits and numbers, not wishful thinking and hopes and even love. If canon for ex had 30 percent of the entire camera pie, why the hell on earth would they make a super csc to kill off most of their shares oonly to at best gain it back using cscs? Does that make sense to YOU? How many camera consumer do you think this world has? i can tell you know that money does not grow on trees too. and i can also tell you with great certainty that many of the ppl who have bought thousands of dollars worth of nikon or canon lesnes are not going to jump ship over to panny and oly for a smaller camera and evf’s. Thats jsut the way it is, its not because I said so, its because it is what it is. ppl vote with what they buy, you have to accept that and come to terms with it instead of deluding yourself that everything is rosey and m43 is better and selling better than dslrs..it is NOT. The reason for that? Well, the answer is all around you, its a matter of whether you want to accpet it or not.
It isn’t the lenses that will sink it, just that it won’t be much good as a camera. However more enthusiasts will buy it as the first affordable mirrorless full frame interchangeable lens camera, but once bigger names will get on board they will disappear into obscurity again.
But then again, m43 and all csc’s are pretty obscure by pro standards.i dont see any pors using mirrorless…hmm, I wonder why?
I’ve to say, the metabones adapter makes the FF much less attractive, they will be more expensive and as any other new system, you’ll need lenses. The difference in IQ, DR and ISO performance from FF to APS-C is not what it was couple of years ago, it’s much closer, the metabones adapter even gives you a faster aperture.
I wonder what will happen to the lenses when Sony launches a FF mirrorless camera, they can’t even give the lenses people want from their current systems, the E-mount lacks a lot of lenses and so on, how are they going to give decent lenses for a FF E-mount? I think they will ask Olympus and Zeiss. Zeiss lenses will all be very expensive and I’m not sure Olympus is in condition of developing the lenses, after all, they sold part of their share to Sony so they could get out of the hole and lens development is quite expensive.
I think that Samsung can pull up something to develop the lenses, they’ve done that, what they haven’t been able to do is to put together a nice camera, with performance up to the competition.
We’ll see.
Excellent news!
Samsung introduces APS-C mirrorless NX cam, SOny follows suit hurriedly with a NEX.
Samsung introduces WiFi features, Sony follow it up.
Samsung….Sony -you get the drift.
There is no better driving force for Sony than Samsung. 🙂
Wifi and other things, ok. But the APs-C mirrorless cameras were launched too close to be a follow up and I’m not so sure that Sony is worried about Samsung right now, but I’ve lost much of my hope on Sony, Fuji’s commitments and improvements over consumers’ feedback is really the kind of respect towards consumers that I look forward to.
If other companies are now rushed to get their FF version to the market, I somehow get the feeling it would be a good idea to wait for the next generation.
I would be in – if:
– some good, fast lenses
– stabilized sensor
– good JPEGs dynamic range & colours
– articulating screen
– fixed or attachable viewfinder
– intuitive handling
I do not care much about brand names. I had several cameras during the past 40 years and each one produced great pictures – if I was able to … 😉
No brand has all youre looking for…and if you want all of those things..youre in for a long long long wait.
Well, I don´t care…because it´s a Samsung.
Ah, just kidding, I love Samsung. Sony sucks,I have to confess.
You´re so funny!
If they bring the cubic shape, with 503 like square size sensor camera to market, I’ll buy.
I prefer the NX-R to be an APS-C. I am still missing a NEX6/7 shape camera as an equivalent to NX30/20/10 in their offerings. It would be great. I dont share the FF madness.
Either way, whether you like it or not, you have to hand it to Samsung if this rumor is true. I have used dslrs, m43 and samsung nx and I have to say Iam pleased with the IQ from their lenses, very pleased..it’s a well hidden secret how good they are. Plus the fact that when their pancake lenses go on sale you can get them for 199usd, how many other brands will let you have nice primes for that price. If this camera comes out like a fuji x type camera at around 2 grand or so, it will be worth considering for sure. Samsung has tonnes of money for R&D so it wouldnt suprise me to see a FF camera from them first, and with their production now done in china, you can bet the costs will be kept down enough so it can be affordable. But one can always buy whenever there is a sale.
pll got on Samsung for making their system not compatible with leica m, but why should they? Samsung is not in this business to make leica money, and this could prove beneficial as they can slap on FF lenses on their mount without a worry, unlike NEX, whos bodies are so thin, they cant make decent lenses on them let alone FF. Sony hs crippled its future by making their nex bodeis so thin and should they start a new system, you will see ppl jump off the sony nex bandwagon just like the ones who jumped off the A mount wagon.
Fullframe mirrorless is the future.
Fast image sensor auto focus has been the holdup. Once that’s in place the rest should be history.
I thought Sony would get there first, but it seems their full frame image sensor
contracts with Nikon might be standing in their way.
If Samsung is preparing to offer a fullframe mirrorless camera I hope they offer both an AA24 and AAfree36 MP and a range of top quality primes.
You´re so funny!
FF mirrorless is terrific, but the camera needs to be fairly decent on AF speeds.
Mark my words… Samsung will not be a major player regardless of FF. Its products are wack.
Makr my words too..Sony will be like minolta, useless and a lame duck. They will never beat Canon or nikon because they refuse to fight them. just make gimmicks after gimmick. At least Samsungs not bleeding money like sony is. I dont know about you, but I dont like to buy products from failing companies.
I wish they’d stop showing the photo of its prototypes too because they will never release the square one or the barnack looking one… they are too square of a company to do that.
Sqaure formats appeal to what market? The old geezer market? all you have to do is shoot apsc or FF or even medium format digital and CROP after. Why bother making a sqaure sensor when also users who like 4by6 can crop it later too. Makes no product sense, you can even make a hexegona sensor and CROP to hat you liek after…whats the point?
Making lenses for a square frame should be easier and better in the corners.
I rather doubt they will bring out a camera based on the cube prototype that looks a bit like an old Hasselblad. However a body like that does not necessarily have to have a square sensor. How about a rotating sensor – so that when you want to take a vertical shot you don’t have to turn the camera?
liste ts simple mathematics. if you take the square surface area of a pas c sensor, and made it into a square, more taller and less wide , you will still run into cropping problems as when you want vertical or horizontal ratios, you will have to crop, thus losing resoltuion.
If you make a sqaure sensor with a larger sufavce area than apsc , you will pay more. You will lose resolution every time you crop. You will pay more for a larger sqaure sensor if you want to lose less when cropping. either way, ti works out to be the same. The is no more for less. You can buy a square plot of land or a rectangle, but 3 thousand square feet is 3 thousand square feet, in a rectangle or a sqaure,.
judging by their track record so far i wonder how on earth they are supposed to deliver completely new FF lenses when all their APS-C have been rumored for months, the delayed for a couple more months, and after official announcements you still have to wait ages before you can buy any of them.
this sound like complete nonsense.
samsung cannot maintain 2 different lines of lenses. they are not even capable of maintaining a single one properly.
How do you know samsung cannot maintain two lens lines? do you work for them? Are you a samsung engineer? How do you know? Youre just making a biased assumtpion based on no facts.
If you look at Sony, they can barely make A lenses, let alone nex. The a lenses that are not maxxum lenses rebadged they can barely make and now they even have rumors of making a FF mirrorless. they cant even decide wither to put a knob mode dial on their nex cameras or not.
Samsung hasnt even taken the mirrorless market seriously as they are more concerned with their other markets and devices. The have the money to stick it out for the long term should they want. At least Sasmung isnt being wishy washy and making dlsr, no then dslt, no then nex, no then rx1, no then rumored FF nex. Sony has absolutely NO concern for their customers. Buying sony means you will get screwed sooner or later. that is wahy NO pros use their stufff, and any alpha gear highend you see anyone toting around, that’s just a new fanboy who doesnt know any better, as all the minoltians have all left and went canon or nikon or somewhere else. You watch, when alpha does more badly, they will make the A mount into their sasuage and handle rx cameras of yesteryear, a all in one zoom fixed lens.
I think all of these companies need to pat some dam attention to what leica is doing with their new cmis 24mp full frame sensor made.in europe. I have been looking at samples of the new m240 ans thwy arw easily rhw beat looking pictures i have seen in a
… digital camera this side of medium format. In fact is say it lpoks as good as rhw huge mwdium format s2. But rhe rhing ia anypne can make a 24mp full feame xmoa.senaor now but it is not about megapixels and even full frame itia.about thw holy trinity which is proceasing dynamic range and thw most important one xolor. Sonya color keeps getting daeker and darker and leas.clean except for rhe nex6 which they cleaned up micely. Olympus is winning in thw dynamic range easily and with an m4/3 sensor at that! And fuji lacks decent proceasing as well as sigma.despite the fact that sigma has one of rhw aharpest aensora out there with thw dp2m with apsc sensor that outresolves the new fuji full frame rx1. My point is that rhey need to get the colo processing and noise under.control.first then improve rhw synamic.range. and use the m240 as you template rhose imagea look great. It is a very exciting time to be into digital.cameras as the technology impp ia just starting to find its strid in the race against analog film quality
Ps i hate typing on my phone with these small letter buttons and my fat fingers…
A bomb? How? Of course samsung will release a full frame camera, it’s a no brainer. They are the kind of company that release every form factor and spec of every single electronic consumer device available, throwing cheap shit at the wall and seeing what sticks. Cheap cameras, phones, TVs, computers, fridges, toasters, washing machines, dish washers, tablets, air conditioners etc etc etc.
I have the Samsung GX10 and love love love my camera it is just as good as any Nikon or Canon no wait better than their cameras for the same price. I have been complemented on it and love the shots I get. My only issue is it isn’t that great in low light you crank up the ISO past 800 and the noise is awful. I have been waiting for Samsung to bring out a FF DSLR as I am not a lover of either of the big named makes. If they can sort the noise issue out I am definitely buying one as an upgrade. Can’t wait until March.
