Re: is the nx1000 getting a successor this year?

As the "Nex3 / EP-M" in the NX lineup , there`s not a lot they can do to the NX1000 - the NX300 hasn`t really added a great deal to the NX210 (still no EVF port, same 20Mp sensor. LCD still isn`t the EX1-like full twist, same ergonomics etc) so putting an OLED screen into a new "NX1100" wouldn`t be a good move on their part

It could gain the bigger buffer and properly compessed RAWs (a 12 bit RAW should be no bigger than the pixel count - 20Mp = 20Mb files, a few more Mb for 14Bit) which would make it worth having as would a touch screen .

I still can`t see why Sammy dropped the EVF port - Rather senseless as they even have an EVF on the market for the NX100 (and an EVF isn`t going to kill sales of the SLR shap models, ask Panasonic) - Japanese camera companies are the most illogical of beasts (witness Canon, Nikon & Fuji wonderous blunders over the years) - looks like the disease has spread to Korea
