NX1 and 8K video... and the death of the APSc system
1

Hi guys,

Let's do some futurology, shall we?

I saw this video and got some concerned about the future of APSc in general:

Since the NX1, I think things are running rather slow in terms of new developments in the Mirrorless camera business. 4K video is here, but it is not... I mean, not at affordable prices. 4K video editing is still damn slow, and expensive...

So I would like to hear your predictions. For how much longer do think the NX1 will rule? I mean, will there be a better APSc camera/System, in the near future? At the same price range of 1500€, or so? With good and cheap glass?

The Sony A9 is crazy expensive and still don't deliver 4K, at 60 fps.and I don't need FF.

When do you think 6K/8K will be reality? Will the Smart Phones push things to the 8K video soon?

As you might know, I decided to wait, since Samsung pulled the plug. But I'm tiered of waiting for a camera that really surprasses the NX1 and it is affordable. Buying a camera that is more expensive, and worst, is not on my list...

In the meantime, maybe Samsung return to the market (I got my fingers crossed ;)). What do you think guys?

Thanks

Samsung NX1 Sony a9
