Samsung NX200

Looks like a promising update.

It certainly looks nice, but I have three problems with it:

1. The LCD screen is fixed, and there are rumors it won't allow an external EVF.
2. The price is $200 over the NEX-5N, which will probably show similar or stronger perfomance with better usability (see 1).
3. We can't adapt M mount lenses.

However, their pancakes look nice.

1. There is no external viewfinder port, which seems odd when the NX100 had one (perhaps no one bought the add-on viewfinder?). They have the miniSLR-style range with an EVF built in.

2. Prices for the previous cameras fell after release.

3. If M-mount adaptation is your thing, this camera ain't the thing.

The 30mm pancake is very good. Hopefully the 16mm rivals it.

Is it just my eyes, or does that camera really look like Sony NEX?

Not that much. Check out Olympus E-PL3 if you want to see a NEX "hommage".

Whaaaat?
The day Olympus pays homage to Sony in terms of style is the day I quit being a fan
