I still think the compact 20-50mm standard lens is excellent.

Samsung didn't leave conventional photography because the products weren't good, but it takes time to build presence, especially where the user universe relative to global population may be declining.

even this very old lens has its advantages..

for photography, NX is still ace, if you need anything near 28megapixels, then it is still amazing, focus in the S lenses is really good, there is no overheating whatsoever for video even in the hottest days, all the right lenses..

NX was the pet project of the old Samsung patriarch, when he died(? did he?), the new generation just decided to concentrate on phones..great innovation for those cameras.

I would say if anyone find a good NX1, to go for it, it is a powerful thing, best ergonomics ever, but 750$ is a steep price to pay..maybe with something closer to 550-600..
