I still have a working NX20 camera with 1 prime lens and 2 zoom lens.

Are you still using it in 2019 ?

Samsung NX20

Are you kidding? Of course we do... every day. Samsung has stopped developing cameras, but we still using our equipment.

Yup, still using and loving my Samsung stuff. I've acquired quite a bit over the past 3 years and am going to shoot with it all until the wheels fall off.

I am with you.

My NX's have always given great results.

I went to Fujifilm X as I like compact APS-C cameras, but I would never consider selling my NX's.

My NX5 is my "weapon of choice", when fitted with a suitable adaptor, for use with my small collection of Russian rangefinder lenses.

The Orion-15 28mm is almost a permanent fixture, the Jupiter-8 50mm f/2 and the Jupiter-9 85mm f/2 are regularly used. I have a couple of Industars and a Jupiter-11 135mm f/4 that get used occasionally.

I also have 10 other adaptors for use with lenses of various manufacture.

Sure, NX500 + 16-50pz + 30/2 + 45/1.8 + SEF42 + 50-200 fit in the small soft bag I use. Also have an NX1000 with 20-50 for backup. Nothing on the market has the same quality/size/price combination.

Absolutely.

This image is from a shoot I did for Westmoreland Sanctuary this passed weekend:

The Nature Center and Museum at Westmoreland Sanctuary

Although I use Canon equipment for all the wildlife long lens work, any shoots between 8mm and 150mm, as well as all video at Westmoreland, are handled with my NX equipment.

My NX1 with 16-50 S or 50-150 S or 60 Macro or Rokinon 8mm are still the most comfortable and easy to use equipment with the most consistent high quality results that I have ever used in over 50 years of photography. Though that sometimes still pi$$es me off that Samsung had such a system and abandoned it/us. I have not even considered buying any type of Samsung product since. And may never.

This subject line caught my eye.

At PhotonsToPhotos my Samsung data is incomplete.

I have complete measurements for the NX1 and NX10, 
I have incomplete measurements for the NX1000 and NX3000.
I have no measurements for any other model.

Although the cameras may be "dated" I'm always interested in collecting measurements for historical comparisons etc.

So, if you have a model for which I have no or incomplete data, and you're willing to take the specific raw images I need, then please email me or send a Private Message (PM).

I already sent you NX500 shots years ago and it was in the list for some time. I guess the shots were bad and that's the reason it was removed?

Edit - whoops sorry, it was never delivered due to Comcast I mixed it with NX1000 you published.
I'll make the shots again tomorrow and send you.

If you still have the NX1000 I'm missing the Read Noise files.

Thanks!

Pulled the NX1 out of mothballs to do some Macro work after an ice storm.

Still using my beloved NX300 here, and will continue to do so, until it dies.

Many makers' cameras take good pictures, but I am enjoying mostly the "operating" ease of the NX1 Kit, above the exquisite quality...
I have worked on analog, I worked on digital with Kodak Fuji Sony and Samsung, but NX1 is just as I wish it to be, above all.
I do "operate" almost exclusive in Manual Mode, I am delighted. The only missing, does not show exact focus position  and DoF (aperture function) on the focus ruler...

Love at first sight, accomplished.

They looked like good cameras.
Has Samsung sold their camera business to some other company like Fuji etc.. or just closed it.. any idea

NX500 results are published. They look a lot like the NX1.

Thanks!

As per.... general knowledge, camera business has been "integrated" to smartphone business.

Most probable no "new" developments for "separate" camera...
