Kudos Samsung but...

Re: Kudos Samsung but...

Over the past few years I've owned the following Samsung cameras:

NX2000, NX3000, NX20, NX30, Galaxy NX, NX1, and NX500

And every lens Samsung has except for the 18-200.

Number of issues with the cameras: 0

Number of issues with the lenses: 0

And I use them a lot. I am a long time (nearly 30 years) Nikon user (DX and FX) and am slowly moving away from them. I wouldn't be doing so if the Samsung gear was unreliable.

It sounds like you've had some bad luck but I don't think it's reflective of the brand.

Look at the list of defective products Nikon has had lately:

D800

D600

D750

300 f/4 VR

Maybe you have 1 or all of those products and maybe you haven't had any issues, but thousands of people did. Sometimes it's just the luck of the draw.
