...I don't know where you've been, but this forum (and other Samsung related forums)  was abuzz over the past six months or so with news that Samsung had just decided to exit the camera market.  It's the way Samsung did so, however, that caused so much anger and frustration on behalf of the many Samsung users out there.  They never formally announced they were leaving (or telling us why), and they just quickly stopped everything - all the while folks were rushing to get the remaining cameras and lenses that were in stock around the world.

So yes, they most certainly left the market - and it's a shame really since their NX1 and NX500 were class leading.  Even with their other NX cameras, the IQ levels will be competitive for years to come.  This was all quite perplexing as to how they exited the market, and so secretly.
