[Lesson Learned] 5 Months and the world has changed

whakapu wrote:  It's quite fascinating many of the NX faithful are in the denial phase of grief and have been there for most of the year. Some of those liked to characterise any discussion of the rumours as "trolling". Now it seems Samsung is officially trolling itself ("only in the [insert name of market] market" though.) Sad though, just as they were starting to make great cameras they decide to sulk and give up. Still, it would have been sadder still for the likes of Olympus, Fuji, Pentax even Nikon to have been the next contestant eliminated.

I have to agree with you there.  I'm trying to be respectful for the dead  But Samsung forum was very defensive when the rumor surfaced 2 months ago.  They attacked anyone who dare to mention it, and no less than 10+ threads were removed by Admin.

The lesson I learned is: How Fast the World can change in just 5 months.

I posted this thread because I was interested in switching to Samsung NX.  I had change to playtest Samsung NX1 with 16-50/2~2.8 and I was blown away.  The lens alone was far better than my $1200 Canon 17-55/2.8 IS USM and a stop faster @f/2 at 16mm.  Luckily, I got cold feet, and never did make the Samsung jump, and saved myself from incurring a financial lost.
