That really comes unexpected: Samsung finally set the price of the new Galaxy NX camera. And guess what…it costs like a Full Frame camera from Nikon and Canon…$1,700! Ok, you get the 18-55mm lens too but this doesn’t make it look any better. Soon you will be able to preorder it at BHphoto (Click here). But I don’t think many here will buy it. What the heck did Samsung managers think?

It’s hard to spell it but Panasonic invented a new “Leica” name for the 42,5mm f/1.2. it’s called Nocticron! Sounds like some sort of magic letal machine :)

The X100s just got dpreviewed and earned a Gold award. The Fuji X100s is amazing, but long live the original X100! The camera just got a huge price drop and is available for $899 at Amazon (Click here) and Adorama (Click here). And it sounds like the 130,000 X100 owners will soon get a nice present. At dpreview user Mistur said: “There will be an update for the X100 that will add approximately 50% of the 72 new features found in the X100s. While there has been no official announcement yet, I heard about it at a recent Fuji event for the X-M1.”
Great!
