Where you show on the same chart: horizontal, vertical, and mean. the mean is the shortest bar, and I would have thought it to be an average... or does it refer to a mean deviation?

I wish they had in-body stabilization (sensor shift) like some manufacturers offer. The OIS lenses could use up less power with OIS turned off if wanted, and you could have stabilization using...

what is the "mean" in the MTF chart please?  pardon my ignorance. I'm not sure I'd like a lens with a lot of CA... I have a Fuji that produces a lot of CA on the long end of the zoom and I just...

correction: they also offer the same bundle with 20-50, 50-200, and adding a 500mm lens, for an extra $50 or so.

the best deals I have seen are actually on ebay right now, from seller cametaauctions they are bundling one or more lenses with the nx300 at great prices. I'm in no way affiliated with them - we're...

your ex1 pic is shot at iso80 and the sx260 at iso200 apertures aren't the same either.  is this really an accurate comparison?

thanks chrisrabe for the great review, and thanks technoworld for the additional feedback. you guys have any idea how this compares to the nx20?  I've been wanting to get an nx300 but now I'm just...

Hasn't this been resolved ever since they changed the internals after the nx200? Namely, on the nx210, nx1000, nx20 generation? nx300 is 2 generations later. I don't see how one could even...

I doubt very much that they are devoting any development staff at all to discontinued models. Especially with so many new models hitting the market and the bugs on those being ironed out. I have an...

I suspect that this problem is because, although it has a faster processor, the new focusing takes up too much processing power, and their hardware designers preferred a low-as-possible price point...

A very short flange to sensor distance makes for immense challenges in designing lenses.  If we had curved sensors this would not be an issue.  But because they are flat, there is an arc, a...

hmmm, thank you for that.  I'm more familiar with ebay - you wouldn't happen to know if they also offer something similar for a Minolta SR mount (MC, MD lenses) with aperture control - or simply a...

Well, look at the price that some other manufacturers sell an adapter for... twice that... and I've seen triple on some others. Go the ebay route.  when I got an adapter that didn't push the lens...

Is there a chance that some of those lenses rely on electrical contacts to make the focus or the zoom operate? If you can't control those manually with the lens off the camera, forget it. Also, the...

I beg to differ. First, the adapter fixes for proper back focus distance from mount to sensor, so that the lens is at home on both cameras - but we all know that right? If you feel concern that...

I went to the lens hub on this site today, and did a search for lenses for Samsung NX mount and for Sony NEX E mount. There are 24 lenses for Samsung NX and 20 lenses for Sony E, at the time of...

What you wrote seemed exaggerated: 400 lost images, without user error, without a problematic card, yet you didn't think to call tech support, or have it looked at or serviced?  It sounded a little...

First, we're talking about the NX20 here, not old discontinued models from Samsung and Sony just to sling mud.  Your statement "the nx20 sounds like" isn't very certain at all... "sounds like"...

That's their new business model.

I'll choose a company that suits me, not the other way around.

That's $600 for a 35mm, whereas I paid under $200 for the Samsung 30mm f/2.  But it does seem like they have more lenses now.  What is important, is that there is sufficient lenses for your use,...
