Samsung EX2

The specs of the upcoming EX2 / EX2F high-end compact camera from Samsung have appeared on the web several days ago. It seems that the EX2 has similar sized sensor as his predecessor (EX1/TL500) but it is back-illuminated sensor, so it is reasonable to expect a significant improvement in low-light performance. In addition, the lens is about half-stop brighter, presumably at wide end. It is still has 3x zoom range starting  at 24 mm. The number of pixels is slightly higher (12MP), and it has rotating AMOLED screen, apparently the same as on NX20.

The latest Samsung NX cameras are still not available in Australia (= absent in Teds Cameras shop :-) ). One of the possible explanations would be the high demand/low supply for these cameras. Indeed, I saw a lot of complains from people in on-English speaking part of the world who cannot get the NX cameras. While the NX20 is pricey, it is still cheaper than many other available alternatives, plus in some countries Samsung bundles 30mm pancake lens with standard kits as a promotion.  

However, I am  more curious about the replacement for Samsung TL500/EX1. The rumors indicates that the Samsung EX2  might be announced either today or very soon. It ts expected that EX2 will have AMOLED display similar or identical to NX20 camera and very bright lens. Presumably there will be two models of which Samsung EX2F will have WiFi: the model is already certified as WiFi device.
