Re: Dynamic color tonality...

My cameras and equipment are in very good order, having 2 NX1/NX500/NX3000 and most of the lenses I need.

Great!

I can't make an educated decision before let the market reveal itself clearly in front of me

Agreed, and the legacy of the NX1 lives here.  It pushed the other companies to work harder.  No one had the technical and financial resources of Samsung.  No one expected the CEO/Chairman to get sick and cede his power to his son who was more focused on short term profits than visionary projects.

We are seeing the kind of projects that Sony has gotten with machine vision (crash mitigation and self driving cars).  Olympus leveraged camera tech in their medical imaging.

Samsung’s old CEO saw that with the NX. It lost money but it was a R&D play and selling camera recovered some of the costs and had national pride.

The only thing I envy from the Fuji line up is the 10-22mm. That is something I am really missing but can live with the 10mm/12-24 and the 16-50S, which is 2f in most of the wide focal lengths, like having a few 2f primes.

Yeah the new 8-16/2.8 will be interesting and their f2 primes are lightweight.  The Fuji glass are all S level quality.

There are some rumors about Fuji amd Samsung co-operate in sensor design and patent exchange, maybe the next Fuji will get a little help from good-ol'Sammy!

All in all, exciting times for G.A.Syndrome!

Yes!  Not just a rumor.  They have already announced some partnerships related to cell phone sensors.  It is telling that XT3 is supposed to have a 28MP sensor....
