Wow. Wow. This is even too good to be true. It sounds like a camera designed by….me. I mean, it’s been more than one year that I’ve been complaining about the ridiculous buffer in nx300 and I’ve been asking for a rangefinder nx camera with a higher res and overall better sensor.
They should call it the Tecno nx or nx-T 🙂
Jokes apart, if true it will be a hell of a camera.
P.s. if 850$ is for the evf camera and these specs are right, I’ll even preorder it.
hahaha the complaining on every Samsung, Sony, Leica, Panasonic and Nikon thread about Samsung not having the camera you want has worked!!
Im going to start so they will make me a camera haha
You see? And since this camera will sell more than all the other nx models together, I expect Samsung to thank me 🙂
Samsung upping their game – if price is true then a good value – but focus speed still needs to be compete with the Sony A6000 and price –
I agree. Compared to a6000, my nx300 with my fastest focusing lens (16-50 f2-2.8) is slightly slower on single shot, but significantly slower on continuous shooting. They talk about pdaf ii so I guess focusing is finally improved.
Would they still lacking basic features like clipped highlights and shadows warning or B/W mode?
Because hardware improvements sound like a joke if the firmware is crippled 🙁
Do you ever tried an NX? I don’t think so…
The UI is one of the best out there. Clipped Highlights works with my NX30 pretty well and a B/W does had my NX5 already…
Just another troll !?
Have you ever tried an NX300? I don’t think so…
I own one, and I certainly like some things about it; but it drives me mad that Samsung decided remove features in firmware (another example would be the remote viewfinder, that only allows to shoot in auto and jpeg) to differentiate segments and drive people to buy the higher ended and pricier cameras. And open sourcing the firmware was another joke, there’s nothing useful there to close the gap: just a gigantic bundle of OS and low level drivers, with no documentation and no application code.
I don’t care about how pretty the UI is. What a photographer needs is functionality, speed and reliability. And the NX300 is one of the few cameras I’ve owned that hungs like a buggy computer.
Just another fanboy that takes personal offense when somebody has a informed opinion that confronts their biased vision of reality!?
Moral of the story, if your a photographer or someone who needs a good remote viewfinder don’t get the NX300
Yeah, if you are a photographer you need a camera designed for photographers… Sadly, the NX300 is a camera designed for mobile phone users that want to upgrade. A pretty good upgrade though, but still missing important points.
I agree. The nx300 has been a real delusion for me. Hadn’t I found some great nx lenses at bargain prices, I would have changed system long ago.
The subpar operating speed, ridiculous buffer, average high iso and Dr performance and average AF speed are some visible defects.
There are some Samsung fanboys (most of those on DPR Samsung forum where they are welcome) that will negate any defect in any nx camera.
The real story is that they are average (or below than average) camera bodies with good/very good and not too expensive lenses.
Is this enough? Nope, this is why I hope this rumor is true. Even if a bit expensive, the nx400 evf could be the camera I want for my lenses.
P.s. it’s a real shame that Samsung did not implement evf pro in a few upgrade to nx300. A clear statement about how low they consider their customers. They did so to differentiate the nx300’s features from the nx30, which otherwise is exactly the same camera in a bulkier body, with an old tech evf, out one year later at twice the price.
The A6000 came in at $649 body only when released and has an EVF. Samsung is once again overestimating what the market will bear with their pricing. $850 is just too much. The non-EVF version priced at $650 is competitively priced but will draw fire compared to the A6000 because it has an EVF. Samsung is asking people to pay an extra $200 more than an A6000 (which will cost even less in 2015 when the NX400 is released).
The NX30 for $1000 should have been a huge wake up call for Samsung when it comes to pricing and what the market will bear, as it is a sales failure. The NX3000 did a good job of pricing but removal of the touchscreen and slower focusing (should have just stuck with the NX300 sensor) took away some of the teeth. Samsung should do with their bodies what they do with a lot of their lenses: offer more bang for the buck than competitors. Over pricing bodies when compared to competitors doesn’t help.
Agree, I got into the system because I wanted a reasonably priced UWA and the 12-24mm seemed like an awesome lens for it’s size, weight and price point. The NX300 can be found at bargain prices sometimes (around 350$), let’s hope the same happens with the rest of the bodies.
Oh Please!! the a6000 has been released at a low price not the every other cameras are high priced. The Panasonic G6, NEX7, NIKON V3, OLYMPUS OMD and FUJI X-PRO 1 all priced at the £1000 mark. Samsung have had very cheap products before in phones, TV, tablets ect. and its not a good outcome, because samsung make everything in house they just use cheaper materials
Don’t get me wrong i would love for all cameras to be released with similar pricing as the a6000 but its not ‘the market’ its 1 well priced camera and as prices drop quality soon follows
But you’re missing the point, we’re talking about their NX system compared to their competitors offerings.
1) the A6000 has garnered 5x the press and interest as the NX300 and NX30 combined. The price was a huge reason for that at release because of how much you got for the price. They have proven you can pack a lot into a good price and the A6000 is a direct competitor for the NX300/400.
2) Samsung is not at Sony (NEX) levels and doesn’t get anywhere near the looks from photographers, both serious and casual, so over pricing their cameras at launch is a recipe for poor sales.
3) Samsung’s prices tend to drop very quickly compared to the competitors because the market “speaks” and won’t purchase NX cameras at those prices. I got my NX300 for $387 7 months ago and at that price it was an incredible deal.
Manufacturers can set prices as they see fit but the market will determine the “real” price and it will show with either poor or good sales. It is a shame that Samsung doesn’t get more interest overall as they pretty competitive compared to Sony and Fuji, but the initial price on many of their cameras is like the rent in NY “just too damn high!” LOL 😉
I agree with every your word.
The only NX camera I bought at launch, april 2013, was the nx300 and I paid 578€ for it. Definitely too much for this camera.
But 850$ for an evf camera with new sensor and much faster performance, though a high price, would be a sort of fee, for me, to revive a nice set of lenses that otherwise are used on a body that does not satisfy me anymore (nx300).
Why is the current NX400 shown on top tagged NX300?
