FF NX1?
1

Why, as some of the articles in the past couple of years suggested, should an nx300 be as expensive as a fuji if it doesn't need to be? more money gives an illusion of better, but doesn't always mean better.  fuji might just be much more expensive because they are still absorbing the cost of developing Xtrans and haven't yet gotten sufficient ROI to absorb that and the tooling costs.

if they introduce anything deluxe, it may be a full frame. but I suspect that with all their android cameras and wifi representing their vision of the market, they aren't minded to view the FF market as voluminous enough.

perhaps some of us want an NX300 with a viewfinder (as do I), and with a buffer(!), but I doubt they give much heed to these occasional individual's calls for attention. at some point, you have to chart a course, and stick to it; trying to satisfy every direction only has you going around in circles.

I have an nx20, and am eagerly awaiting to see the NX310, if that will be more what the nx300 could have been. at that point, I may upgrade.  but for now, I'm not going to endorse amateurish design neglect with my wallet.
