both lens and cameras
to me look that some samsung marketing (annunce lens that disappear....impossible things to understand like NX200 1 year before NX20 instead of contrary...;spend money upgrading NX10 to NX11 without any improvment, was easier put the 20MP sensor inside NX11 ...; also the release of NX5 that was released without any sense...and cost also now MORE then a NX11...if you can find it..) its a metaphor and
or a prediction of future who wait samsung owners...
Some of these cameras are for different markets, etc. The NX 10 to 11 update probably didn't cost Samsung much money, it is basically a buffer upgrade and a different name stuck on the camera, and maybe a few other little things? Don't recall.
anyway i m a little like Cartier bresson , 2 good primes are more enough for me...
Why are you asking about a 16-80 zoom? As you say, Samsung already has a 16, 20, and 30mm pancake which will pretty much cover for those looking for a wide, semi-wide standard, and standard lens.
anyway also about lens NEX actually has not such limited choice, the 2 sigma 19mm 2.8 and 30mm f2.8 will be added to the already 24mm 1.8 and 50mm 1.8 (i dont consider a lens the 16mm...i owned, just a bottle glass:-)
It is getting better. The 16mm f/2.8 still takes fine photos. It isn't great if you pixel peep of course.
if you have ever owned a sigma DP1/DP2 you will understand how good are that 2 new primes (that are very similar....)
I have owned a Sigma DP1, it was slow and annoying to use, and difficult to hand hold in lower light conditions. I sold it.
i talk about this..now i think already that samsung marketing is crazy ....
I agree, they need some work in marketing their products. Hopefully the NX20 is a nice step up. From the little we have seen it is nice.
