Re: Does Samsung still make DSLR cameras?

There was a change in CEO level leadership at the time and the camera market was collapsing. I don't think they ever officially announced anything, but any work in progress suddenly stopped (like nice super telephoto they had just showed) and there were large layoffs in Korea.

It is unfortunate as they had the best APS-C sensor on the market with NX1/500 and no one else appears to have picked it up.
