Has Samsung sold their camera business to some other company like Fuji etc.. or just closed it.. any idea

As far as I know, they haven't sold their camera business. I think they bailed out because they couldnt attract Sigma, Tamron and other companies (except Samyang and Metz) to make lenses and flashes for them. That said, Samsung is a GIANT, and they can make a comeback whenever they want with a full frame mirrorless. Smaller companies like Pentax might disappear after a decade, but Samsung will still be an electronic giant after a decade..lol

If they follow this forum, they should come back (no irony). Maybe a decision at high level, too impatient, "something" has to go. Takes time to get to the top. Could have done better, competition got EVF in small cameras. But getting into fullframe with lots of lenses...?! Better fixed lens - and inbuilt EVF.

Some weeks ago a friend was thinking and thinking about the 60mm NOK2500 from a large chain (still "new" lenses appear from dusty store corners) Now I told him the same lens is NOK5000 from a private seller, with warranty from the same chain... (8.5 for 1$)

And talking about store corners, hope this will happen at Samsung: - Now what is that crate with no name?! .... .... Wow, it's 100 NX50 that must have dropped out of the system. Who would want such cameras now...let's try dpr Samsung forum!
