How much would you spend on the Galaxy NX body?

Seeing the introductory list price of $1599 is perceived as too high by many forum members, I'm curious at what price point would everyone consider purchasing the camera body only?

OK, three groups so far.

First group of people, the majority, will not buy the Galaxy NX at all, regardless of price.

Second group of people will buy it as soon as the price drops a little.

A third group of people would buy it only when it becomes a bargain.

Anyone not voted yet? Bump.

Advantages. High quality photos and videos. The large three-inch display. Fairly light and compact.
Easy management. Battery lasts a long time. Wi-Fi is built-in, very convenient.
Disadvantages: The big drawback - it's plastic body. The price is rather big, they could make better body.)) The screen doesn`t rotate, very uncomfortable. Auto focus doesn`t always work correctly.

Its understandable that Samsung wants to take much money for the first 1000 Galaxy Nx they sell.

That strengthens the camera devision.

But i am absolutely sure that we get it for less than (!!!) $599 in 2 years - and i have time .

( + inflation - i mean if the EURO breaks down and takes the $ with it - thats another problem )

In two years this will be fairly old tech, even older that "normal cameras" out now, due to the smart part aging fast (just look at the smartphone and tablet market...you have a new gen product every 6 month). we'll have a galaxy nx-2 by that time, but I hope it will be very different from this one.

If you add "zero = gift" as an option I might consider reclassifying my vote.

Even then it may be still worth two kilo of kielbsa and a jar of pickles (to sweeten the deal)

After all, they gave away a lot of free galaxy tab 2  they could do the same with this, in a couple of years...buy an air conditioner or a vacuum bot, you get a free galaxy nx with it

This thread is about the Galaxy NX.  It has a 4.3 inch display and is anything but light and compact.  You are obviously talking about one of the other Galaxy models.

As expensive as some of these cameras are (almost like the beginnings when a Minolta Dimage 7 went for $1,500 (OUCH) and an Olympus E-10/20 was $1,500 (more justifiable).  These cameras need to be modular so components can be upgraded.  Ricoh tried in a way, but I doubt the GXR is a huge success.
