Already bashing the 7d MkII because of the Samsung NXI?

[Aglet]

You're kidding me!!!
Why not in the US? :'(

Dunno... we're closer to Santa Claus?..

I'm thinking I get to test drive a 7d2 and 24-70/4 L lens then sell it off for a profit on eBay. :}

The 24-70 will be cheaper than their new standard zoom

Don't tell me you're not planning on putting those amazing skins on all your iPhones and iPads.
But seriously, great deal...

who ever wants to have a NX1 over the 7D2 should get their eyes checked. the thing looks worse than a bucket of smashed vaginas.

what is this, 1990's?

I don't know if 7DII and the NX1 are really head-to-head competitors. The NX1 looks good on paper for its specific segment, though. Samsung is an ambitious company- it remains to be seen what they do next.

I am a photographer and not a videographer. After viewing the Chuck Westhall video I was not really inspired to want to upgrade my 7D. We seem to have waited a long time for the 7D2 and I was expecting more 'must have' features.

HAHA! No iPhone, no iPad, never will. Hate those things and how iOS works.
Doubt it would fit my 10" Asus tab .

And, pre-order was placed earlier this week so will now wait and see what the 7d2 can do for me.

It'll look beautiful on your Asus tab, but remember: the correct way to put skins on Android phones and tabs is to put it on the LCD side so it can be covered up
I preordered it from Henry's, too.
Fingers crossed

I am looking forward to reviews of the nx-1. will be interestingvto see what their BSI sensor + electronics/processors behind it are capable of. Until then i'll hold my jugdement. But i am really hoping this korean mirrorless cam can teach canons boring mirrorslappers a lesson or two.

The pair of samsung f/2.8 zooms looks quite interesting too, although i have mot seen mtf's or sample pics. I would have loved to get a really good EF-S 50-150/2.8 IS from Canon.

I don't have many Samsung products except some top notch SSDs but they sure know their stuff. So far their NX line was too consumer-oriented to be of interest to me... But who knows, maybe that nx1 is going to cut it. At least its no mirrorslapper .

wow internet hogwash level 9000.... go back to dpreview trolls.

+1, although I won't know for sure until I can process 7D2 raw images and compare them to comparable 7D images. I was hoping that the 7D2 would be mirrorless and capable of 24 full resolution images per second. At 18MP, that would require 432MP/Sec. The Samsung does 420MP/Sec.

The Samsung does 420MP/Sec.

The Samsung is also saving 12-bit files during continuous shooting vs. the full 14-bits in single shot mode.

I preordered as well but from Camera Canada. Will you be able to get all the extra stuff being that you are from the US? You will still get a good deal if your dollar stays at around 10%.

So what?

You keep telling us that DR (and by extension 12bits vs 14bits) isn't important except to a small number of people so therefore this difference that you've highlighted is also relatively unimportant. Or do you wish to become one of your own DRones and insist that the extra bit-depth and thus DR is all of a sudden important?

Hehehe ... Spot on!

I'd like to know what other shortcuts Samsung are taking to achieve 15fps. Many mirrorless cameras suffer from no viewfinder and no continuous AF at their highest frame rate.

If they have somehow nailed it with a working viewfinder and continuous AF in continuous shooting, the next thing I'd like to know is how good is its execution? Is the viewfinder good enough to let you track what you're shooting as well as a DSLR, does the AF produce as many in focus shots as its DSLR competitors, and how deep is the buffer?

You loose colour-information as well not just DR. I guess the overall difference is small, but I'll take 14bit over 12bit so I get the most out of every shot.

Context, dilbert...context. As usual, it eludes you. If one is going to compare data throughput rates by multiplying MP x fps as Bob was doing, the underlying assumption is that the bit depth is the same. In this case, that assumption is not true.

Personally, I think the 7D2 looks like a terrific budget sport/action/wildlife body. I doubt I'll buy one as most of my photography is portrait, studio and landscape, so the 6D is fine for my needs.

That was scarily common-sense, balanced and reasonable - are you on the wrong forum?

I've already seen a couple on hands-on "experiences" of the NX1 suggesting shonky build quality and materials, and flaky, inaccurate AF.

Granted, these were just brief reports from Photokina; but that's apparently enough - for some - to condemn the 7D Mark II, so in the interests of balance and all that...

Do you not understand that he's deliberately channelling you here?

If the situation was reversed, no question that you'd use it as another stick to beat Canon with, because then it would suddenly be really "important"...
