I can only imagine what Samsung would have...

...released over the past two years, had they stayed in the camera business.

When we witness the bevy of releases from all ofthe other brands of camera companies, and the speed to which they are releasing them, one can only wonder at the advances and unique models Samsung would have (should have?) released during that same time-frame.

When I look at the likes of the NX1, NX300, NX500, NX30, etc., and compare their performance parameters to various other brand cameras I'm currently using, I'm constantly struck by Samsung's superiority in a number of areas - so much so, that to this date, they are still remain relevant.  In fact, if some of these very same Samsung cameras were released today (i.e. NX1, NX500 and even the NX30), they'd still be considered state of the art and we'd be fawning all over them.

And to think about what could have been with Samsung is both mind-boggling, yet depressing (for lack of such) at the same time.  I realized some Samsung users have totally moved on to other brands, but for many of us who still use (in my case, in addition to other brands) the Samsung cameras, one can only hope and dream that somehow, in the near future, Samsung may once again consider reentering the market (but I doubt that would occur given their current state of business affairs).

Sigh...
