Samsung in No 1 position in mirrorless marked and other myths

Samsung pursues quite intensive advertising campaign in Brisbane at the moment. Well, at least there are several posters in very prominent positions. However, several big camera stores such as Teds Camera shop or Camera House in Brisbane CBD have only the old models of Samsung mirrorless cameras at best. Teds has NX11 and NX100, and apparently Camera House has none. Maybe Australia represents just a tiny fraction of Samsung market, so the company does not bother about Down Under... But in this case why they advertise the cameras?

In the same time, Olympus OM-D E-M5 disappeared from the Teds shop but it is present in the Camera House shop (~1500 AUD for two lens kit - oooh). Certain Olympus lenses apparently also very popular: their 45mm f1.8 also disappeared.

Fuji X-Pro1 is available, as well as X100. I think the price might be a contributing factor. No doubt, the camera is worth every cent or penny (but it costs more if you pay in pennies:)), but I suspect not many people are willing to pay this price... Hopefully Fuji will release a cheaper version of X mount camera together with zoom lenses. Also, the updated X200 is very logical step, with the updated layout, new sensor and without sticky aperture problem.

  1. If you are looking for a cellphone which is an ideal combination of excellent looks, functionality and functions. The HTC Ted Chef Hook will be the best option. It is not just another smartphone, it is officially audio and has functions to confirm that it is truly a smartphone.
