I actually think that Samsung somehow doesn't understand the philosophy of photography. They consider cameras like fridges or microwave owens. Like "who cares if this fridge is a crap. We'll make a new one. Or not. And even if we'll decide to take a break for a few years, we will still have a big name, so our next fridge will still be popular". And that is true if we're talking about fridges. But in camera world you have to be keep abreast of it.

You have to keep producing something: new cameras, new lenses, new flashes. They might not be perfect or best in class, but you have to do that and earn a trust and reputation of a stable photographic brand. That is what any photo enthusiast can tell you.

You just can't decide to stop it all, take a break and create absolutely new system every 5 years.

As for me, after Samsung's GX series and present NX state, I won't trust them anymore even if they'll make something really good in future with new system. I'll wait for at least 5 years, and then, maybe...
