    What happened to Samsung digital camera?
    kenton
    over 1 year ago
    Samsung no longer produce and sell digital cameras. But we will create a new camera product category to continue the business. A source went on to say that Samsung stopped being competitive in the entry-level digital camera market, and that it further suffered from the rise of smartphone cameras.

    Samsung no longer makes mirrorless cameras. But if you still own an NX and are scouring the used market for lenses, these reviews can help you find a good one. Images, and the devices that capture them, are my focus.

    luke

    The NX300 produces some of the best “right out of the camera” images I've seen among mirrorless models. In addition to Program, Aperture Priority, Shutter Priority, and Manual modes, Samsung includes a raft of Smart Mode and Smart Filter settings.

    Why did Samsung stop making cameras?
    deloise
    over 1 year ago
    Ironically, the failure of Samsung's camera operation is due in part to the success of its phone business. The rise of smartphones with highly capable cameras has decimated the low-end compact camera market – a market in which Samsung enjoyed considerable success.
