Pictures that changed my mind
10

I have said i will be moving away from Samsung , I have said i will not spend money on a dead system . However i took some photographs this weekend that for some reason hit the spot and i thought why spend thousands moving to a new system that frankly will not be much better than these , so i will be buying the 16-50 F2-2.5 and staying put , as well i fired up my Galaxy NX and that is working fine which is a great camera for good light macro or still life work with that amazing back screen and voice control . Lastly hope you enjoy the images as much as i enjoyed taking them.

I'm surprised it's taken you so long to realise what a very good camera the NX1 is. I have seen many excellent images from yourself on Flickr that are outstanding as these latest are.

I did have an NX1 but got cold feet when Samsung pulled out, plus the lack of lenses on offer.

Can iI ask, what is your go to lens for landscapes that you use?

Regards

Kevin

These are superb shots.

It is so sad to see the current offerings from the rest 2 years later it is pitiful.  Samsung is the king of cameras there is no doubt in my mind.

Re: Pictures that changed my mind

Thanks for sharing some more of your wonderful seaside images. I believe you will enjoy the 16-50S lens.

I, too, have paid attention to other camera offerings and decided also that nothing is going to surpass the NX1/500 for my needs for a while.
