Re: Olympus to focus on high end cameras. When is Samsung getting this?

Even if they were to make the perfect conventional camera, I don't think they will vastly increase their market size. The NX300 was such an attempt, and for the most part, they succeeded but it did not produce the expected results.

Samsung as a Brand has it's strengths in mobile phones than in it's digital cameras. And I think this is why they are trying to 'smarten' their cameras, in hopes of reaching their smart phone users. So I doubt Samsung really cares what Olympus is doing because Samsung does not have the history that Olympus does as a Camera brand.

If Samsung really wanted to succeed in the camera industry, which I doubt because it is a shrinking market, they could've purchased a brand name like Olympus. I think the future is in smart cameras. The problem with the NX Galaxy was the price. But I don't think Samsung is finished experimenting, to find the perfect 'smart' camera that will reach smartphone users.
