DP: Still NO Review of NX300 which won a TIPA 2013 award?!

I still hope they can improve raw buffer via fw, like they did for nx200.

I also hope that nx30 will be what many are asking: nx300 with high-res evf in a corner and super big buffer.

I hope Samsung release a camera as you describe, but also a replacement for the NX20. I use my NX11 in very demanding circumstances and a rangefinder style camera just isn't capable enough for me. In an urban environment, when used with primes, that shape is fine, but not useable one-handed with longer or heavier lenses IMO and geneally less grippy.
 
I can even use the nx300 with big lenses like the 85mm, so having a third point of stability (the evf in a corner) would make it just perfect for my style of shooting.

I agree that dslr style would be better for extreme conditions, but for 99% of photographers those situations happen in 1% of cases. In the remaining cases, rangefinder style is smaller and imo aesthetically more pleasing in a mirrorless cam.

I use that lens single handed on an NX11, I have to because my other hand is being used to stop myself from falling. I have tried with an NX200 and it doesn't work. I hope samsung release one of each type tbh, but a rangefinder shaped camera at the expense of a modern dslr shaped one would render the system obsolete for me.

The great thing about having multiple shaped cameras on the same mount is that people such as myself would almost certainly buy two bodies. I need a "beater" type workhorse, such as an NX11/20 for where the appearance of the camera is unimportant and it's all about the ergonomics, and a smaller cam for social situations where a dslr is inappropriate.

The multiple shapes business for the end of 2013/beginning 2014 could be as follows:

- dslr shape: galaxy nx

- rangefinder with evf: nx30

- smaller rangefinder w/o evf: nx300

- even smaller w/o physical controls: nx2000

The best would be if the future nx xxx models could also have optional evf.

spot on !

I always have (had) two NX series cameras and here the price point of Samsung NX is absolutely the buying argument

BTW: who needs a DPR review of the NX300..... ;-)

Agreed, with all the excellent images that have been shown on here, and other sites, from the NX300, we don't have to wait for DPR to review one. The NX 300 rocks. ot os, IMHO, the best, bar none, camera that I have ever used. And I've used a few in my time, I can tell you. Is it perfect..NO, there is no such thing as a perfect camera. But it is the best in its price range. IMO of course but YMMV.

Have a good day.

If the dslr shaped version is an android then that would render the system as obsolete for me as if it was a like-a-leica camera.

Not absolutely certain, but I don't think the Canon EOS-M has been reviewed either.
ok... but those models are rather inconsequential!

they are hardly a good example of "those were missed too".
The Panasonic G5 is not inconsequential; it generated quite a bit of buzz. Likewise, the Canon EOS-M is also very far from inconsequential, it might have problems but is still very significant as it is Canon's first mirrorless camera. When DPReview is not reviewing the EOS M even though it is from Canon, probably the most well known camera company in the world, you can guess the chances of it reviewing a Samsung product.
 
I think dpr assume that samsung will keep chucking cameras at them so they can squeeze the review in between the latest iphone app and the D800e review. Dpr have to show willing to properly review the cam and sensor or else they become diminished in this "in between" market.

There is no point at all in dpr reviewing the cam if they are going to studio widget test it, oof, with a lens made by pentax in the 90s, for k mount cameras (for instance).

You're right, I had confused it with the GF5.

But tell me... if a good company like Canon, slaps their name on a dismal product, you take the position that it is "significant" just because it has a Canon label? They handicapped it in every way, to make sure it doesn't threaten their upcoming higher-profit SL1.

If the EOSM was ignored despite it being from Canon, it's because they look past the label that is slapped onto it! And they recognize that what is underneath, is inconsequential. Even to Canon. Because Canon wanted it to be that way... but maybe Canon tried just a little bit too hard to make sure they don't cannibalize their own line with it.

This is quite a different situation from some of the Samsung cameras, that are significant competitors in IQ and features, that are right up there with the very best of them.
