Now that all the hoo=ha of Photkina has died down.

Hi guys,
             Well it's over, (Photokina I mean, of course), and the new soon to be released Samsung NX1, has been shown to everyone. If the claims from Samsung turn out to be true, then the likes of Canikon, should be afraid. No, be VERY AFRAID! Because this Sammy cam, will be one that could push Samsung up the market leader board, and knock the main contenders on their collective backsides. After the announcement of the NX1 and its capabilities, it is interesting to note how Canon, (who for so long have ignored mirrorless cameras), have now announced that they are going to try launching into the mirrorless market. The thing is though, they will not have the new 28MP sensor, that is Samsung developed, and built. It is this sensor that is causing a LOT of interest, as well as what looks to be, an impressive build quality of the NX1 itself.

I for one, as a Samsung user will welcome seeing how this new offering from the Korean company will fare. I  have been a user of Samsung cameras since 2006, when I started with the Samsung GX10. This is a DSLR camera, and although being compact, (in DSLR terms that is), is huge, when it is put alongside any of the modern, mirrorless offerings form Samsung. The GX10 was formulated when Samsung teamed up with Pentax, a very well respected Japanese camera company. They made 3, (IFIRC), DSLR's together, before Samsung started manufacturing their own cameras, and they have never looked back since. No in my personal view, Samsung are now the leaders in this field of cameras. If in fact, as I said earlier, the NX1 turns out to be the camera that its spec sheet promises, it could very well take over the APSC sized senor, market. Forget the likes of Canon 7D's and Nikon D750/810. Because at around twice the cost, with the added bulk associated with a DSLR, and the big (costly), lenses, the added draw of the Nikons FF sensor, will not be worth it. At least not if the Samsung 28MP APSC sensor can produce the promises, that Samsung have made.

I was hoping to get out and about with my NX30 today, to get some early Autumnal colours, but the Welsh weather has cospired against us again. Yep, it's raining.  :-(   Oh well in afraid you'll have to make do with some from last weeks stroll. First up is a slow shutter shot of the river.

Next we have a weed of some sort, now in seed. Look at the fine detail it shows in the feathers of its dandelion type seed transport system, You sdould also note the pleasing Bokeh in this shot.

Well that's a;; for now, take care out there guys. My kindest regards to you all, Twm.
