The Galaxy NX finally in stock in the US

It depends on which price you'd consider as 'normal' for this thing. Personally I wouldn't buy it even at the same price of nx300, since it does not add anything useful (for me) to that other camera, while being big and very ugly (again, for me) and shooting video only at 30fps instead of 50/60.

After all your grumping and groaning about not being able to use your NX300 in the bright sunshine, (mine BTW, works perfectly with the anti glare screen fitted), now they offer you an NX with a VF, and THAT is not right. Bot are you picky. I have a GALAXY NX. and I can tell you, there is nothing wrong with its VF. When combined with focus peaking, and DMF the Galaxy NX does a great job. This is from a walk in the parK, last TUesday.

Besides, it has a very outdated evf. Sequential and low res, compared to those in nex, oly and pana.

I'm thinking about buying the incoming nexus 10. At 2560x1600, that's a device where I'd like to see my pics.

I'm sorry but I just can't understand y0ou and your obsession with resloution on a little screen, whether it happens to be a phone, or a camera. The rear screen on either is good for reviewing your images to test focus, exposure etc. But you need to see your images on a pc monitor, or a large screeb TV, or printed out. But to only see them on a little screen is not doing anyone a favour, nor is it doing any images justice. You are going back to the old days of analogue photography, where we all had our pics printed out at 5" by 3" FCome on for goodness sake, put your NX300 images on a DVD abd look at them on a largs screen tele. I put mine on DVD abd view them on my 50" Plasma screen, they are beautiful.

I don't want everybody to agree with me. I just say that - if one has to pay for it - galaxy nx is more expensive than a nx300 + a higher res 5" smartphone with more powerful hw. This is also a lighter combo than galaxy nx.

So:

- cheaper

- lighter

- more powerful in hw

- better display on smartphone

- more versatile (you can use one device at a time)

What's the galaxy nx usp compared to this???

Besides, if I have an obsession with resolution, many have....otherwise all the smartphone displays wouldn't be full hd and apple would not talk this much about 'retina'

But, my friend, what is the point in all that display capability when one is still looking at a little smartphone screen. People are being led by the nose, by the dsire to get the most resloution into a little screen. No matter hown high the resolution is, it is STILL a little screen. Put it up on a large screen TV and see the dufference. A Samsung Galaxy smartphone has a beautiful, (I know, my wife has one, this is NOT heresay), clear image on an OLED screen. So has the NX300. But put it on DVD and see the images on my 50" Plasma screen, and you will appreciate the difference. If you are only viewing your images on your camera/smartphone ot whatever, you are really NOT seeing them at all very well.

I'm positive I'm just wasting my time replying to your constant complaints, tecnoworld, but for the last time and for another reason, here it goes.

To point out again, and again, the obvious: The point of the Galaxy NX is to have, at a reasonable price, an integrated device. Minute deficiencies (720p vs 1080i etc.) do not matter. The integration itself is costly, but worth it for the end user.

I'm thinking about buying the incoming nexus 10. At 2560x1600, that's a device where I'd like to see my pics.

My current (old) Nexus 10 has the same resolution and an IPS screen. I don't want to drag it along with a proper interconnected camera like the Galaxy NX. The back-screen of the latter should be good enough for travel/event photography, quick editing and sharing -- the entire workflow.

That is how a modern photographer would approach photography, now. If you prefer to stick to the past, so be it.

Again, don't bother reading and replying, I'd not follow up anyway.

This message is for the people coming anew to this message board, maybe it will help them.

Ok, but then again what's the point of galaxy nx? :-

Now you're just acting silly. Tha Galaxy NX is, fisrt and foremost, a camera. Everybody, (even I should think, you), knows that a camera is for capturing images. Some do it better than others. The Galaxy NX has the same sensor as the NX300, so we know it is capable of getting great images. Which you them want to put on a tiddly little screen. What is the point of getting a camera like the NX300 or the Galxy NX to put it on a little screen when a device like the Samsung Galaxy S# smartphone does it all anyway. If one has no need, or desire, to se one's images any larger than phone screens or 10" displays, I really can't see the point of having a camera like one of the latest Samsungs, or indeed, any other manufacturer.

Anyway, I can assure that looking at images on full hd phones or even better on 10" wqxga dispays is a very nice experience. You see the finest details, like hair or eyebrows, as if they were real.

Yes I know they look good, at that size, but if you do the job properly, and print them, or put them on DVD and view them on a large screen tv. A small screen does the images no justice whatsoever, Your obssesion with the technical specifications, of various devices, is inconsistent with peoples actual experience with whatever device. You come on here with 5 minutes experience of playing with something, (probably in store), and it is proabably uncalibreted, and had a myriad of others, like yourself, who have been there playing with it. The device is, more than likely straight out of the box, and put on dispay.

In answer to your earlier message, YES, you did complain about the NX300 display. You couldn't see it in bright light. Then, after attaching the anti glare screen you could only see it through a screen door effect. You came on here, on almost a daily basis, complaining incessantly, about the small buffer size when using RAW. All for what? just so that you could go through the bither of processing a RAW image to then view the resulting image on an itsy, bitsy screen.
