Re: Samsung NX300 review

Well said...Plus GAS is expensive!

This is the normal quality curve: FF and APS-C provide the same quality in 90% of cases. You will pay a lot of money and inconvenience (weight and size) for the remaining 10%.

This is not only gear: to get a really nice landscape photo, you need to get out of bed long before sunrise, drive and walk, freeze, wait, and then probably go home without any photo just because a cloud was there instead of the Sun. This is the price for the remaining 10%.

I understand the reason of this comparison: people want to justify why they do not need to buy something more expensive. People want to know that NX300 is the right choice. Of course it is the right choice! But for me, this need for justification clearly points to GAS.

We do not need to justify anything. You know, Petr Lovigin, after he broke his Sony DSC-R1 and could not repair it anymore, he has got a new full frame Sony RX1. End of the story? No! last week he has found a second hand DSC-R1 and is happy to make his next journey with it.

I hope this little story will help everybody to overcome the the remainders of the GA syndrome eventually, so that everybody will start trying to do the best with his/her NX300, NEX, OMD or whatever
