It looks like Panasonic and Samsung will still announce some new mirrorless stuff in mid-late July! While Panasonic announcement is scheduled for July 18th (G5 and 45-150mm m43 lens) we have been told that Samsung will announce new NX lenses too! There will be three new zooms, 16-80mm, 12-24mm and another 50 (or 55?)-300mm.
I guess that stuff wouldn’t get that much of press buzz when announced at Photokina. That’s why they prefer to launch the stuff in these hot summer.

Is this the same as the Panasonic meeting previously rumoured for Thursday 5th?
I would very likely consider moving from MFT to the NX system, if the camera bodies weren’t so expensive. The pricing is certainly in the premium range, but the performance is not, at least that’s what I’ve gathered. The lens selection on the other hand is much more to my liking than what MFT currently offers.
Dont do it!!
,
build quality is poor.
I used nx10 for just over 1 year. When 50-200 lens started to get dust inside front element Samsung gave me repair company to clean for quoted £80
My local dealer tried two repair companies who both refused on grounds of poor build, the would not attempt to take lens apart.
I have gone to Panasonic lumix and have no regrets other than loosing £800 in Samsung gear trade in.
Camera dealers it seems know and it seems dont want to buy nx kit.
As to optical quality I cant find fault in Panasonic, compaired to Pentax K7 dslr which I also use .
Hope its not too late!
Samsung does not yet offer a zoom reaching 300mm, so why do you say “another”?
What happened to the 55mm/45mm f1.8 that was supposed to be being launched soon as well? Originally it was a 55mm, but most recently it has been rumoured to be a 45mm pancake. Also, didn’t the 16-80mm get cancelled a little while ago?
sorry, but that is even less then rumor but speculation and warming up old things.
This to me does not even qualify to show up on a rumor site.
We know theres a road map for NX lenses and we know when the Photokina starts…report a rumor when there is somehing more substantial behind as e.g the new MV900F (the main competitor of the F3 at least when it comes to the flip screen and as it will have WiFi it willdirectly rival the F5 for the flip screen and Wifi)
Come one Samsung, daddy needs 400mm 😀
i would jump if their camera body wasn’t that expensive…. the Sony lens lineup just make me sad.
i thought you said that 16-80 was cancelled? what is aperture range for the lens?
I’m a M43 user and I’ve got my eye on a shiny new OMD, however I’ve got one eye on Samsung. A full size sensor in a compact body with a pancake lens, yes please. But, from what I’ve seen in the way of performance I’m still not convinced.
Now if only someone would make a large sensor CSC with stunning retro looks, EVF, weather proofing, IBIS, swivel screen, great lens line up including some excellent pancakes and the ability to fine focus adapted lenses quickly and easily and still produce great jpegs and RAW.
Most manufacturers are hitting a lot of the marks, but until they do I may just have the continue using my “old school” GF1 + 20/1.7.
Still waiting for some Samsung announcement…
