Update: the Samsung NX1 is back in stock at B&H. It has been a slow dead: the Samsung NX1 camera is finally listed as discontinued at B&H (both the kit and body only listings). We never saw any significant price drops or discounts on the NX1. Adorama and Amazon still have the NX1 in stock for almost full […]
