Does this remind you of anything?

It looks a lot like a NEX, doesn't it? Regardless, I like it and still think that Samsung can build an interesting system and be a strong competitor ton Sony.

 

I agree. It is strange that Samsung didn't try to take on Sony with better prices. This camera with a 20mp sensor at the same price point as the NEX-5N would have been a good competitor, but at $200 more puts it in a no-man's land territory for me. Why not get a 5N cheaper or spend the extra $300 and get the NEX-7. I'm mean seriously if I'm going to spend $900 on a camera why not spend the extra money to get all of the features the NEX-7 gives me.

 

I don't think so many will purchase it , although samsung is good with camera, but for it's price, i doubt anyone would go for it. They Would Go for a NEX instead . I think Every manufacturer is trying to get on the Compact DSLR Bandwagon, which was started by Sony recently.

 

Yeah, mirrorless, please excuse my lack of experience with these things. Sony was late, but has captured majority of the market on such basis.

I think you're absolutely right that Samsung has the ability to get it right, Since they got many renowned products such as Their slim LED TV's, Hard Drives, The NEXUS (that thing is Godly), and Their Galaxy Tablets and Phones. A friend of mine owns a Point and Shoot Camera by samsung, and it's pretty darn good, especially when compared to another camera of that period and price range By Sony, Fujifilm Etc.  

I think samsung also was the first with the Front Facing LCD, for taking Self-Portraits.   And now has one camera with the 180 Degree adjustable LCD  

 

The only thing that I find attractive about the Samsung NX system is the 85mm prime lens that is coming for that mount. I really hope Sony brings out an affordable 85mm f/1.8 OSS lens (similar to the 50mm f/1.8 OSS) early next year. Hopefully Sony will announce some new lenses at CES/PMA in January.
