Cancelled my EX2F pre-order...

With no mention of the EX2F from Samsung nor anyone else on the web,
I decided to cancel my pre-order.

With my new WB150F and my TL500 I am ready for any thing that I might want to photograph.

It is very unusual that no sample images have been released yet for the new ex2f.

I can wait for the reviews' and I guess lower price over time, thanks to my 'great' new wb150f.

Maybe it was a rushed anouncement because they knew the competition were going to introduce new products soon.

I think you may be very right.

have you tried eBay? there are some Korean sellers that might have it already or ask if they can get you a copy asap.

Dude, it's not due until later in August!

When the EX2 was announced, Samsung stated it would be available later in August 2012.

Thanks, but you did not understand my post.

I cancelled my pre-order for the following reasons I stated above.

Early August to be precise.

The problem is since the announcement Samsung has said nothing, posted nothing,
about the EX2F.

From the the time of their announcement to their pre-order release date of August 10, 2012, (as per B&H), no images from the camera's sensor have been posted.

Very unusual and this is the reason why I cancelled my pre-order.

I think he meant later then now, maybe he missed a semi colon.

Re: Dude, it's not due until later in August!

For me, the 'only' two negatives are the lack of GPS (useful once you have used it on other cams, inc mobile phones) and a viewfinder. I always prefer to put the camera up to my face for certain types of shot, whilst the swivel display is great for creative work.

Perhaps they are fixing the software - the NX200 has been critiqued by some reviewers for buggy software, despite being superb to navigate.

Currently all my searches for shopping and EX2F result in 1 hit for a bra and a couple for 3rd party batteries.

Re: Dude, it's not due until later in August!

There is no mention of the EX2 on the Samsung UK site apart from a news item dated 4th July but the camera is not listed in the compacts, only the EX1. The LX7 announced 14 days later on the Panasonic site is already listed ready for pre-order with full specifications. If Samsung are not interested in their own camera how on earth will anyone else be?

Possibly it is not important to them if they compete against the LX7 but it is a strange way to do business. If anyone can explain the method behind this I would dearly love to know as it is a complete mystery to me. I promise not to post again about the EX2 release but any explanations of this announce and then pretend the thing does not exist system of selling new cameras would be gladly received.
