Re: Will samsung make full frame for NX series ?

I don't think they'll do it any time soon.  They would have to fabricate the BCMOS FF  sensor and develop a new mount.  After that new FF lenses will be required.  Sony went this route but are still working on lenses it seems.  And the FF A series cams are starting to get pretty large when a FE lens is added.  But I give credit to Sony for blazing the trail.

I think the current sensor in the NX1 is a wonderful sensor and I sure would like to try a BCMOS FF sensor in some camera some day.  That would be MF quality like a Pentax 645Z I imagine.

They still need some aps/c NX lenses IMO.  A 70-200 f/2.8 NX lens would be nice.  A longer working distance macro as well.  The 16-85 f/4 & 300 f/2.8 could be welcome additions to the line up so Samsung is getting there.
