  1. The title should be why do they bother? the nx range have a single good optic, 30mm f2, after that the whole thing is a joke, the nx200 is awful above iso800 ooc jpegs are dreadful and the nx200 looks stupid with the bigger glass. Samsung should pull the plug on this. 50mb raw files, whats that all about Samsung?

    1. seems you really enjoy your Sony NEX lol…

      30mm f2 is amazing
      16mm f2.4 of Samsung is just a NEX 16mm killer
      the 60mm macro has been reviewed and is an amazing lens for the price

      other new lenses were not deeply reviewed yet.

      NX200 reviews are all positive…especially about crazy base Iso details and ergonomics. The sensor is also said to be really nice…and just one stop worse at higher Iso comparing to the highly regarded NEX5n sensor (but NEX sensor is worse than NX one at base Iso…which should suit more 95% of people).

      What you say on NX system is basically what we can hear from a Sony fan who is desperate and sticked to his crazy kikoo lol High iso sensor body with 3 crappy lenses…while other systems are growing up fast.

      Sad.

    Are you a 6 year old?
    Nex 5n is a fine camera and so what of the lenses…plenty of legacy glass out there…so plenty of choice.
    Out of the mirrorless systems the NX is the weakest.
    Oh and no im not a fanboy…I own m43 and Nex had a try with the NX and sent it back. Lenses are nothing if you dont have a decent body to use them with.

  3. I hope that Samsung uses the opportunity to ditch the “Panasonic G3” style body, and go for a “Sony NEX7” style body.
    I mean, dump the hump, place the EVF in the corner, add a nice decent grip, and enough controls to be able set all critical parameters witout having to dive into the menu system. Oh, and add peaking too.

    Btw, I really do not like the odd wedge shaped “grip” on the NX200. Please, let the grip be big and with something for the fingers to latch onto.

  4. “OMG, when? when?? when??? all the drool over the NEX-7 would end???”
    It wont end. Sony has hit all the right buttons.

    “nobody can afford”
    Yes, it is a problem, if it wasnt for the price I would probably have preordered a NEX7. Thats why it would be nice if Samsung would jump in and provide us with a somewhat more affordable alternative.

    There is nothing wrong with copying a succesful design.

  5. When something good just came or is coming the trolls go out their caves… and start to post in forums and blogs.

    Anti-Samsung trolls´blogs and forums infestation = something good is coming.

  6. The nx20 did not make an appearance at ces. Samsung must have seen the Fuji x1 pro before hand and decided to pull their announcement. Not to mention that Canon has now stuck an almost apcs -c sensor into their G1x.Samsung has lost their way in the csc game and they know that one more camera with glaring faults will kill that line entirely. They are in a lousy predicament at this time, with many nx customers not happy that the nx200 has a missing evf port, let alone an evf as owners with nx100’s dont like the dslr look of the nx10. the price of the nx200 is also a put off per features compared to the sony 5n. it’s been one miscalculation after another of the csc market for Samsung and i figure they know the next move is life or death.
    At this time their nx10, nx100 customers have nothing but the nx200, which they’ve turned into to a glorified gf3, a camera for the ladies purses. Besides that they have nothing else.Olympus has 3 camera in their line to choose from, so does Panny, Sony also has 3, etc. Samsungs customers have to wait. To ask a customer to wait for yet another year for a better camera or two is suicide. When Samsung released the nx100, they they from feedback that the faults were high iso’s, the evf was god awful[ at least there was an evf option ]the body was too plasticy and the shutter sounded like a weak piss.All they had to do was at least correct these oversights…but NO, they decided to play the MP game, no evf or even an option for one, no tilt screen to even try to minimize glare of the lcd screen, higher iso not that much better, and a body that was shrunk down so much that it made the pancakes look even longer and strange.Now they have disappointed nx100 users, and those users were probably the same ones who bought the nx10.The nx20 is probably DOA.
    Samsung has either abandoned it nx line or knows that their next move is either going to help save it or be the last nail in the nx coffin. You cannot expect to annoy customers and then make them wait even longer for a replacement camera when they should have had the proper replacement with the nx200 to begin with!
    Samsung thought that based on sales that they knew what their customers wanted.One camera store manager told me that the Samsung reps told him that they didn’t make a evf for the nx200 cause not many people bought the evf for the nx100. I countered by saying ” No duh, the nx100 evf was piss poor to begin with, that’s why no one bought the thing!” If Samsung can just stick to a philosophy and create good cameras they may last in the csc market. But releasing cameras with missing key features at a higher price point than the competition is not a smart move for a company that’s supposed to to have a lot of smart people working for it.Samsung needs to hire camera buffs for their csc division and less accountants and bean counters.

  7. THEY COULD BE BETTER

    A) Panasonic GH2, plus magnesium body, two control dials & increased battery capacity
    B) NX200 in a magnesium NX11 like body
    C) EOS 60D, plus magnesium body
    D) Olympus E-5, plus full HD video, with 18 -20 Mp sensor
    E) D7000, plus full magnesium body
    F) Canon 7D, plus Articulating screen
    G) D300S, plus Full HD Video & 18 – 20 MP sensor
    H) Sony A900/A850, Plus video

    I just noticed that most electronic gadgets particularly DSLR & mirrorless, always miss one or two vital feature.

  8. WHAT SAMSUNG NEEDS TO DO

    1] build a proper EVF for all their CSC cameras
    2] build a proper EVF for all their CSC cameras
    3] build a proper EVF for all their CSC cameras
