43 Rumors

I lol’d.

I don’t find this presentation much different what to expect from the exhibition floor shows. These young salesmen have all attended the the same crash course in selling methodolgy.

However, I do find it a bit desperate of Samsung marketing to explicitly focus on their competition cons, since that usually backfires on themselves, and instead causing the potential buyer to become interested in the competing vendors.

Still I am looking forward to see how the NX10 (1.54x) with its two new zooms will fair against the APS-C competitiors, such as Sigma DP1/DP2 (1.74x), Leica X1 (1.53x), and Ricoh GXR.

Being honorable and honest with potential customers is something that seems to be of no importance.

I wonder why they do not compare NX10 to Leica M8. Both use an APC-S format sensor and they could argue that NX10 is sooo much cheaper…

Meanwhile at the Canon stand, “Look at that tiny little sensor, what is that, oh yeah the NX-10 mini sensor..”

At the same time in the Hasselblad stand, “Look at that tiny thing, what is that, oh yeah the Canon FF sensor..”

As Crocodile Dundee put it, “That’s not a knife, this is a knife.”

@Mark : That’s pretty funny

Well, those guy is doing what they were hired for, heh heh.

That’s comical in it’s sadness—I kept feeling awkward for the guy. It sounds like he just got off his shift at the magic bullet infomercial. At least “will it blend” does something destructive to entertain.

I especially love the screen shot of the blowups of sensor sizes with the Samsung surrounded by a much larger chassis than the 4/3rds sensor. Mind numbingly brilliant.

Nice body Samsung ! and now, show me your lens….

It really shows how Samsung feels intimidated by micro fourthirds.

Think about it this way, what’s the ratio of P&S users compared to micro fourthirds uses probably in that audience?

I would bet that most of them are point and shoot users, some probably haven’t even heard of mFT.

So why on earth would Samsung want to compare their APS-C sensor to fourthirds, when they could have just as easily compared it to the truely itty biddy sensor that most of those people in the audience actually have?

They’re threatened…

“It could by worse if pentax’s pancakes could use AF on NX10, but thanks for God, Samsung is not so clever”

not going to happen, All those nifty pancake pentax lens’ are auto focused using a screw drive that is found in the body. There’s no AF motor in the lens’, so I doubt you’re going to get AF with those lens’ on NX.

Oh, and the flange back distance would be need to be “made up” by use of a thick adapter, which would negate the benefits of being a pancake. (look at the GF1/E-P1 with the fouthirds adapter + fouthirds 25mm pancake, it’s nearly as big as the zoom kit lens)
