Actually it would be cool to have android mirroless camera now. At 2012, the android was slow to operate. Now the processing is so fast I bet the use experience will be totally different. Imagine use a 5inch touch screen to shoot 4k video. Pretty cool.
Actually I did own the Samsung Galaxy NX which was a mirrorless APS-C sensor camera. And it came with Android! That made filesharing directly from the camera to all sorts of apps a breeze just as you can do from any regular smartphone. Plus it came with its own camera app baked in which had no lack of professional functions. So of course it came with an Amoled touchscreen yet that screen was a fixed one, you couldn't flip it or anything. The camera did excellent fotos. I really enjoyed it. R.I.P. Samsung cameras.
I bought a Samsung NX30 and a few month later Samsung stopped selling cameras. So I switched to Nikon. As a result I never bought any Samsung products after that.
I bought the Samsung NX11 ten years ago and I still have it and love it very much. It's between the size of a rangefinder camera and a DSLR and has all of the features or functions that most folks would need. It is still available on Ebay. Lenses also.
Another factor was a corporate scandal, shakeup and realignment of the company. There was some family involvement and when the patriarch passed away, the commitment to the camera business died along with him.
I have a Samsung ECX-1 which is a film camera. If I recall well it was said that the old photographic line of Samsung ended when there was a new generation in the family leading the business, as until then the photographic line carried a sort of pride. Of course anything can be said in the internet, but I tried to purchase on eBay a Samsung NX500 but the seller cancelled it. Now I am happy with Fujifilm, in both film and digital.
Did their camera line really "fail" or did they see the writing on the wall about how cell phone cameras were not only going to destroy the small camera market, but also decimate the DSLR/mirrorless camera market and decide to stop investing in an industry they they were helping to kill off?
Samsung brought out a new camera practically on a monthly basis and there were little features to choose between them. A lot of their camera's were innovative but because of their short shelf life it was like chucking your money down the drain. Having said that I have owned a GX20 for about a year now and it's a great (if heavy) camera.
SAMSUNG is gigantic company, I was a great fan of Galaxy Camara (210-2014) by that time is was a the 1st digital mirrorless camera powered by Android, I am using a compact samsung WB250F ang the image/quality of that device was still impressive, I wish samsung to find another best business partnership inorder for them to comeback in the Digital Camera eras. Samsung is great, pls don't stop production of quality products. ❤
decent lens range, are you high ? :D thats the main reason their mirrorless system failed, when they started the system there was no creative lenses, 30mm pancake was the only interesting lens in the beginning, their pro lenses no one ever seen even if they are listed on wiki
Samsung spends between 10-20b a year on R&D. A full division like the camera division would be worth at least a billion dollars a year, especially in the fast moving consumer tech market. Some of that is now folded up into the smartphone division, but they have different software and hardware needs, so a lot of the R&D spending has indeed gone to waste.
You can line the signal out from the HDMI port straight into a recorder, capture card or equivalent. You'll want to invest in a decent external microphone though.

May be they were ahead of time!

@@Falk4J I miss mine too. I had a foodtruck business at the time and uploading photos to socials was a breeze
I love my Samsung NX500, but I would love even more an improved one.

I still think a renewed Pentax Samsung partnership would be amazing

I think this is right time samsung should make a comeback into mirrorless system by collab with 3rd parties like tammy & sigma.
corporate greed won't let that happen, im a victim of this bankruptcy 🥲
Their cameras were crazy good, beat Sony before they got huge.
The footage you are showing from the factory, are from the Leica factory in Wetzlar Germany.

Perhaps they decided it was best to just keep making storage? Then again, camera tech is a patent minefield and perhaps they didn't have a map.

NX30
touch screen display freezes.
Al,ost all camera brands are Japanese, like animation. Some geographical eco-system is needed in camera industry. Korea has no history of optics.
thanks for sharing
Def not billions bud
No, but Yes.

Canon can compete with Sony and Nikon
Samsung make expensive phone and mid range phone
What's weird, is the Samsung Nx1 was actually really good
i own one & second this
@@PranavBhasin Yup. Love mine as well. They’re quite expensive lol. The lenses, even worse.

The nx500 was also fantastic. Same sensor, smaller body.
