Hi, I'm new here. And may already need to change my name...
So, this may have been an idiotic move on my part, but I bought an NX1, really bought into the system headfirst today.
NX1 body barely used
16-50mmS
45mm f1.8
Rokinon 12mm F2.0
$1900 (did I overpay?)
I'm currently using a G85, mostly for vlogging and review videos, but I also do a lot of photography of my very small children and have noticed the m43 system a bit lacking. I can still get good photos, but it's a bit of a hassle.
I did everything I could to step around the NX1, but somehow kept arriving back at it as the most viable solution. It seemed like every path I'd travel down had some significant limitation in regards to pulling double duty.
It truly seems, on paper, that this is the best hybrid solution on the market - even two years later. And I'm obsessed with taking risks in the secondary market to find good value.
So should I be worried? Aside from needing a repair, I don't know that I'll be that bothered by Sammy shutting down. I can't imagine needing more glass beyond MAYBE the 50-150 well down the line. The h265 codec isn't a problem for me as my workflow is already in Adobe Premiere and I frequently use Handbrake.
It seems like so many people are bailing on the platform because Samsung is getting out. But what am I missing? Is this platform as it stands not representative of a lot of performance for the money? Are most people worried about the lack of more lens options in the future? Or is it something else?
I'm finding it difficult to buy accessories and lens. Not many places besides Ebay and Amazon and prices seem to be getting higher with constant reselling. No deals whatsoever.
