Hey gang - don't even consider selling your NX gear...

Hello Ben,

You are so right, but what we see is just the "Green Consumer Society", and is deep-linked with education. My uncle once, my boss now, they consider resale value even before buying something, they just "feel" this way.

Professional guys may need the "latest and greatest", especially as speed processing AF, fps... so they might sell and then buy the newest, but for "my personal use level" no need of such thing.

As we know, the camera is less relevant / important is the photographer.

I can anytime have technically perfect shots with any film camera in manual mode (not in a hurry!), and I use the NX1 the same way, manually (except sometimes for AF, you see... my old eyes...), so I am thrilled by NX1 "power".

I buy hardware for "myself" only after searching and comparing the available offers and I choose to get the one having long use time, and not considering to resell.
If the case, I just give it for free (other "green" way), but not for cameras, even ones with film, I try to keep them as in a museum - since decades not in use.

That is why, I bought NX1 last year, a "dead system" but very nuch "alive camera".

About colors, it were once, I used Kodak / Fuji / Agfa / Ilford / ORWO / Forte / AZO / Svema... and we could recognize the film's manufacturer just looking at pictures / slides for colors, granulation, contrast.

Today is the same, and while I have used Sony / Kodak / Fuji digital cameras, I have to say that Samsung digital colors are the best "to my liking".  It proved to be the best from my digital ones.  Also I much-much appreciate how Samsung get the video working, so if you do it right, it is ready out of the camera almost perfect, no POST needed.

With my old passion for photography / optics (over 5 decades), and my knowledge of computers (over 4 decades), I know that a much more "technical specifications" camera can be made with today technology (much above the NX2  ), and I feel sad that Samsung restrained itself to smart-phones only, not playing even in large photo-sensor arena.  For me, a camera is just a specialized computer, and all the parts / modules are available with much higher specs that "regular camera makers" offer these days, but hey, after all for them is a business and not a hobby / pleasure as for me.

Thank you Ben and all others who pointed so sharp what is still relevant with this camera.  Yes, new camera are here and closing the gap created by NX1, but for me it remain to be a spectator for this camera competition.  Not doing a photo business, my needs are already depassed by this NX1.
