UPDATE- In an recent interview published at amateur photographer Samsung officially denied the Sell out news.
According to latest rumors floating over the web Nikon acquired Samsung NX system cameras / technology.
The deal will help Nikon to announce its own mirroress sensor based cameras by using all the technologies of Samsung NX series camera.
If the news is true than Nikon will soon announce its mirrorless line-up with high-end specification simlar to Samsung NX1 / NX500 camera. But at the moment we are not sure that upcoming Nikon mirrorless system will going to use existing FX/DX lenses or they will use samsung NX lenses tech for the upcoming cameras.
From all directions we are continuously getting information that Samsung is shutting down its camera business, but according to latest rumor Samsung may introduce a pro-level camera at CES 2016.
We do expect that Samsung may announce Samsung NX2 camera with high-end specification and rugged body design or may be Samsung NX1 LX (see more details here).
We will update you soon as we get any more information.
I fix-it tears down the the Samsung NX500 camera, you can watch the video below. The NX500 is one of the most advance and affordable mirrorless camera I have ever seen. The camera features 28MP APS-C sensor with 205 Phase AF points. Processing speed almost un-matchable since the camera can capture Up to 9 fps @ 28 MP files.
Update – Samsung denied the possibility of shutting down camera business
Before we begin I must say you it’s not a rumor, the news is coming from a article published over a Korean website that Samsung may shut down their camera business according to a “industry insider”, according to him after Samsung NX500 announcement Samsung doesn’t announced any new products and also shattered all marketing activities.
The camera division of Samsung is facing loss from past one year after they have started NX product line.
Samsung only announced NX500 camera in 2015 and after that no new camera announced by Samsung
February 5, 2015
Samsung NX500
28 Megapixel Hybrid CMOS AF sensor and ultra compact body
Samsung currently have one-of-the best APS-C sensor based camera in the market , but they have to understand professional or smei-pro users look for good camera as well as lens support, which the NX lens-linup doesn’t have.
Sony resolved it through metabones adapter. Recently announced Sony A7R II camera can do high speed AF with all Canon lenses and soon metabones will also launch Nikon FX Lenses adapter.
Samsung working on in body image stabilization system, initially the image stabilization system will be implemented in low-end models and than on high end, but I do believe that the upcoming Samsung NX2 camera will going to feature built-in IS (may be 5-axis ?).
If we believe latest rumors then Samsung and Fujifilm is planning to implement latest firmware upgrade to there prime machines,
Let’s start from Fujifim, the Fujifilm XT -1 latest firmware upgrade is rumored to arrive on May 11, 2015. The upcoming firmware upgrade from fujifilm will increase the AF speed of the camera by 40%, we will update you soon as we get any new information.
Samsung will implement a totally new firmware in the Samsung NX1 camera, the upcoming firmware will improve the performance of the camera at many levels, that include AF performance, better noise reduction algorithm and much more…. but unfortunately we don’t have the time frame when the firmware is expected to arrive.
If we believe the rumors, Samsung will soon announce a low-resolution version of current NX1 camera with more sensitivity, the NX1 LX prototypes are out for testing and said to have better dynamic range and low-light performance compared to NX1. The Samsung NX1 LX can also record 4K videos at 60 frames per second, the body is 10% lighter than the current NX1 camera.
