I happily own the following: TL-500, WB250f, two NX 300's, an NX30 and an NX1. And various lenses but not the 'S' glass because for my purposes I don't need the 'S' IQ.

I have reluctantly decided Samsung will never get any more of my money. They do not deserve it.

I use my NX1 on a daily basis and have a three year drops and spills warranty on it so I have no issues to worry about for the next two years.

The NX1 has transformed me into a 4K Still Grab photographer.

As a result of Samsung's Silence, outside of the Light L16 which I pre-ordered, I have no purchase plans for the future unless a top quality 8K camera at a good pricepoint is announced.

Until then my NX gear should deliver what it has always did: great IQ at a great Pricepoint.

Me too. I have a lot of Samsung gear - NX500, 9 lenses, NX Mini, 1 lens, Galaxy K zoom phone, TV, microwave. So far I already replaced K zoom with Panasonic CM1, and sold NX20 + 20-50 lens and a SEF42A flash. I will continue replacing all of my Samsung products with other brands. I'm targeting at Olympus/Panasonic.

Be very careful if you are a 4K screen grab person now, 4K from a NX1 is vastly superior to a 4K screengrab from another make model/sensor.

My father in laws bought a Panasonic bridge camera with the ability to take 4K screen grabs, the issue is with it the jpg's are very poor compared to the NX1.  This is because although the finished jpg is the same amount of pixels it has been derived from a much larger sensor on the NX1 than on the Panasonic, have a look at the Panasonic forum and have a look at their 4K screengrabs you will be surprised.

Just don't forget, a 4K screengrab is not the same across the board.
