Samsung NX is Fading: NX500 Discontinued, NX1 on Life Support

March 8, 2016 By Eric Reagan

Samsung_NX500_Discontinued

We have all pretty much accepted it now. Samsung and its mirrorless camera system is dead in the water. The Samsung NX500 that is barely a year old is now discontinued.

It had a solid spec sheet and plenty of positive reviews as one of the first 4K mirrorless cameras – especially at that $800 retail price point. [Read more…]

Big Discounts on the Samsung NX1 and NX500

February 8, 2016 By Eric Reagan

Samsung NX1

This may very well be the beginning of the end for Samsung; however, if 4K video and 28MP stills interest you, B&H has some solid deals on the NX1 and NX500 cameras and kits right now.

The NX500 with a 16-50mm kit lens is $499 (reg. $799) with 4% rewards. Check it out here at B&H Photo.

The Samsung NX1 body is $1099 (reg. $1499) – also with 4% rewards. The NX1 with the standard 16-50mm kit lens is $1299 (reg. $1699). Additionally, the NX1 with 16-50mm f/2-2.8 lens is $2199 (reg. $2799). Check out all of these options for the NX1 here at B&H Photo.

If Samsung really is at its end, when these cameras are gone, they will be gone for good. Right now though, both the NX500 and NX1 are pretty close to state of the art for mirrorless APS-C cameras.

I don’t know how that Samsung can look at us with a straight face and say everything is just fine with its camera division when it doesn’t bring a single camera to CES 2016. [Read more…]

Samsung’s Long, Hard Road to a Serious & Successful Camera

December 3, 2015 By Eric Reagan

Samsung NX1

The enthusiast digital camera market is a tough one. The consumers can often know more about the cameras being sold than the sales people trying to sell them. Don’t believe me? Go to Best Buy and start asking about the differences between any two cameras. Or, just eavesdrop on a conversation between a salesman and a shopper – I dare you to keep your mouth shut for the duration.

Samsung has been producing cameras with some very exciting features over the past year or so. But it has been far from a smooth road for the consumer electronics giant. [Read more…]

Samsung NX1 Review at DPReview

April 9, 2015 By Eric Reagan

Samsung NX1

DPReview has posted its review of the Samsung NX1. For the most part, it is a glowing review.

The 28.2MP backside-illuminate CMOS sensor seems to really set the NX1 apart from other APS-C cameras. Additionally, the 15fps frame rate with autofocus is not just a spec-line to boast about – but a real, bonafide feature that works as promised. [Read more…]
