Exactly. This (and the original) threads killed the remaining nx supplies and hence the future for this system.

I've been saying this from day 1 and even sent a note to the mod about this.

Now it's too late.

I'm not understanding how this killed the future of the nx system. Samsung is fully responsible for that. These deals are really no different from the canon referb ones.

It's different. Firs, you're getting new product. Second, it cost 50% - you cannot get canon refurb for 50% of the price.

However I'd blame samsung for not controlling supply of his parts and allowing resellers selling it to end customers.

And definitely it didn't kill the future of the system - Samsung killed it by stopping production. I'd like to buy NX1 and it's quaite difficult now in europe - obviously I don't want to pay full introduction price for 1,5 camera of a dead system. But I'm happy to pay 1000euro for body only. And no luck so far. BTW - NX500 for 700 euro as on amazon de is not even funny.

All that is posted about this is purely a guess. I'm sure the part store can tell us apart from a real samsung repair center in regards to warranty. They are probably holding some back for warranty replacements. Otherwise they'll have to pay out for anything they can not replace.

All this confirms is Samsung isn't focusing on the camera division. Once all the stock is sold they'll probably close it altogether. Leaving it on the shelves longer does nothing to increase the lifespan of the line.

Nothing much we can do about this. If the part store was not able to get rid of their stock then Samsung would have had to find another way to dump it.

Out of curiosity is there any way we can see when our lens was produced?

Maybe you can't get a canon refurb for more than 50% off retail but I've been able to. They run these types of sales every few months. I'd even call them better than the part store because they work just like new and have their full warranty. I'd rather get a full warranty refurb that works perfectly than a new untested product with a much smaller warranty period.

I'm new to this type of photography. But I don't see what Samsung is doing much different than what canon is doing. Both are trying to clear out stock. Samsung stopping production is the only real crime I can see here.
