Normmmmmm....

The EX2F is one of those cameras that should have received much more (and better) press than it did when first announced.  I have the LX7, along with the Nikon P7700, P330, Olympus XZ-1, and the Fuji X10, X20, X30, and X-S1.  You could say I'm an enthusiast camera junkie as I stumble through life trying to find the best overall advanced compact camera.

Having said that, I was completely taken aback at the wonderful BSI sensor in that EX2F, along with the dynamic colors, option sets, and high-performance factors of this camera.  The EX2 is a keeper and it will stay in my collection.  In fact, prior to getting the EX2F, I never even considered Samsung cameras at all (I associated them with consumer products only).  After acquiring a new EX2F however, it opened my eyes to the entire Samsung camera line and I subsequently got hooked on various NX system cameras.  Of course, now I'm a combination of frustrated/p-i-s-s-ed off/depressed over Samsung leaving the camera market, especially given what they were capable of producing.

So keep that baby in your bag and for others who might have thought about getting one, they're more difficult to find now (and some vendors are gouging the prices on them).  But if you do get one, you'll be rewarded with exceptional imagery with regards to comparisons to other enthusiast camera lines.
