Dear Samsung, please make an EX3
3

I love my EX2, but I'm always a tad let down by the low light IQ.  Makes me want to bring my NX instead.  But I love the portability/flexibility (and articulating screen) of EX2.

I have a couple of trips coming up, and the thought of bringing the NX with prime lenses is a drag even though that would be optimal handling/responsiveness/IQ.  Now I find myself tempted by RX100iii, G7X, and LX100, but they each have a couple of boxes not ticked off.  The G7X has a shallow buffer (my NX300 is frustrating enough, and I guess 500 would be worse...  I might hurl the G7X against a brick wall in frustration if it can only take 1fps RAW... I know I'm spoiled, but it IS 2015), the RX100 and LX100 are relatively short on the long end for fixed zoom, the LX100 REALLY should have had an articulating screen.

So, Samsung: please make an EX3 which is essentially EX2 form factor (doesn't need to be as small as G7X/RX100 but a bit smaller than LX100 would be nice), with the 1in sensor from NXmini (PDAF if convenient), with the lens specs of the G7X (preferably distortion-free uncorrected at 24mm effective) and responsiveness/AF-speed/buffer depth of LX100 (please don't skimp on the buffer like you always do; it's really annoying).  Articulating screen is mandatory, EVF is optional, but I guess it would be nice if there is real estate on the back.  LX100 pricing would be fine if it fits the bill.

Thanks!
