    Hi Admin: It wasn’t mentioned — which camera/system is this for? (I don’t know anything about Samsung cameras). Okay, clicking through… I see NX.

    • http://photorumors.com PR admin

      yes, you are right NX it is, I updated the post

    You’d think they would release the 35 and 50 1.4 as soon as possible.

    Looks great. I’m not impressed by Samsung’s sensor at all, but their lens roadmap looks more aggressive than m43. The window for Nikon and Canon is closing fast. Once one of these consumer electronics guys have enough lenses, there may be too much momentum for the big 2 to assume it will be an easy walk in the park. With the duplication of lens focal ranges and few primes in the m43 line, I thought Canikon had time, but now I see this roadmap and Sony’s new aggression, I worry for Canikon.

      the samsung sensors are not bad.. only the jpeg engine.
      download the raw sample at imaging resource of dpreview for example…
      nx10 has pretty much same high iso than a d300s.. yes.. d300 isnt the best high iso crop camera for a while now.. but who would say that d300 has bad high iso?
      i certainly would not and i used the d300 for over a year for professional use (lot´s of stock photography too where the reviewers are crazy pixel peepers)

      • Chris

        plus they still use old sensors (sony)
        keep in mind that nx10 and nx100 is still the first batch.. the 2011 cameras will come out with new sensor and will probably quite a bit better..

        but anyways.. I think high iso is pretty overrated nowadays..
        if people need iso iso12560 for their photos I think they must be doing something wrong.. except a very very tiny minority who really needs very high iso (even wedding photographers dont need more than iso1600.. if they do they are probably shooting a crappy wedding with crappy natural light)

        • Aaron

          i know that you are probably überpro at everything, but ISO1600? Every venue and church have crappy light and you usually dont want to destroy the feel of the evening by burning high power flashes in each corner. So yes, there are LOT more people using ISO6400 daily then noob like you would think.

          • Chris

            you dont know what you are talking about ^^

          • Chris

            I wonder how they were able to make any photos in the film age haha

          • Theoretical

            @Chris. That’s easy, they used flash. If you want ambient light only shooting, then ISOs have to go up.

          • bob

            @chris–the more you write, the more you confirm how inexperienced you are–maybe you shoot outdoors in full sunlight only between the hours of 10AM to 4PM.

    The NX10/NX100 have a Jan-07 made sensor.
    For 2011 is await at least 2 new APS-C sensors from Samsung, is to expect better high ISO performance, FullHD video and high fps.
    I think is just time, Samsung has a good small CMOS sensor market, they have experience in CMOS technology and they just need put all of them in APS-C size.
    They already announce a 1/2.3″ 14MPx CMOS sensor for compact camera, it is a back-light, 15fps and 1080/30 video.

    Interesting, but the only 3 lenses I’d be likely to buy are all in 2013…however I doubt Samsung will ever woo me. It does suggest that canikon are under increasing pressure to get their systems ready…without a common lens mount, I see no significant reason to stick with your DSLR brand preference. I’ve shot Nikon for 9 years, but it took me under a week to feel comfortable with my E-P1. That’s Nikon’s lost sale, and although I’m not in love with m4/3, I’ll certainly give Nikon’s mirrorless no more consideration than Canon or Pentax or Samsung or Kitchen Aid.

      +1

      In particular, the 50-135 f2.8 OIS is, I believe, a first. The only dx fixed f2.8 tele-zooms so far have been by pentax, tokina and sigma and none with ois. So at last someone is going to make an optically stabilised dx version of a 70-200 f2.8. I might just switch to Samsung cos I’m fed up with waiting on Nikon for this.

      • Aaron

        if they ever make 50-135 lens i hope it to be FX. because it would be the ultimate portrait lens :-)

          Hahaha, this is hilarious.

          People need to stop jizzing over FF. It’s not the holy grail of photography.

          • http://www.zhovtenko.net Vsevolod

            yep, medium firmat is holy grail
            :lol:

        actually nikon produces fixed aperture DX zoom – 17-55 2.8

        • Blaster

          AF-S 17-55 f/2.8 is not a telezoom nor stabilized, although it’s a darn good piece of glass…

          Canon or Nikon didn’t produce any crop-only telezoom with fixed aperture (be it f/4 or better f/2.8) and image stabilization system. Only fixed telezoom with VR is ultrapricey 70-200/2.8 VR, Canon has at least lighter and cheaper (f/4) variant, but it’s still a bit long on the short end (112mm equiv.)

      The future Kitchen Aid camera will make dinner and coffee and then take a picture of it so I can post it on facebook! Oh, it will also do the dishes and put the kids to bed….
