In my search for a camera with accurate colors, I discovered that the NX1000 produces JPGs with some of the most accurate colors on the market, so I'm looking at that camera or the NX1100, which appears to be substantially similar. However, I have some questions:
1. Are these old cameras? They are available on Amazon, but the large camera retailers have stopped carrying them.
Yes, they've been both discontinued - which means no more firmware updates, i.e. no support for 2014 and newer lenses (The 2014 ones work with the camera but are reported to zoom more slowly, miss some functionality etc.). However, I find the software to be quite stable - I haven't experienced any software freeze during few hundred hours I used this camera. Tizen-based ones (e.g. NX2000 and NX300) are reported to hang occasionally.
Is this true? Does discontinued really mean no support for new lenses and no firmware updates? Is this common for other manufacturers? (Nikon, Canon, Sony?)
It seems odd that a camera body would not support newer lenses of the same system. People seem to routinely use much older Canon and Nikon DSLR bodies. Can anyone confirm this?
