>Nikon buys Samsungs camera business
This rumor is being posted on a few different websites at the moment..
If true, would it be a good or bad move by Nikon?
I honestly liked the NX1 as a camera, though I did not need it I think the image quality seemed very good and the feature set (including huge firmware updates) was excellent.
But realistically, could the sensors compete with Sony offerings?

take all my shekels

I'd actually like to see it styled more after the F3 or the FA, desu. Mainly because a lot of the cameras from the 60s and 70s all tend to look a lot alike
If RICOH bought Pentax and Nikon buys Samsung, what would Canon buy? Holga?

It is actually more likely that Samsung will buy Nikon and keep rolling out products with the Nikon name

>you will never see Nikon leverage its god tier mirrorless AF performance into a camera that has good UI and a sensor larger than a peanut
feels really bad man. Olympus rocks it in CDAF, but nobody does on sensor PDAF like Nikon. Also subject tracking. But the cameras themselves are kinda shit.
>I wonder if you can squeeze a megapixel or two sensor for Color Matrix Meter IV
Pretty sure that if true, is the other way around.
Nikon just announced the D5 development and then Samsung says that it will make a big announcement on CES.

>But realistically, could the sensors compete with Sony offerings?
Yes, that's the current situation on Smartphones.
Samsung's tech / manufacturing may be slightly worse, but not generations behind.
But Nikon buying the respective divisions from Samsung? I very much doubt it - Samsung wants to keep its smartphones and sensors, I'd think.
>>2713674
Rumors are claiming Nikon has purchased Samsungs camera division, they will build upon Samsungs mirrorless tech and transition to Samsung sensors.
Great move by Nikon.

Except for Canon, who does it better.

But Sony does it better on all their newer cameras? (Like, the A6000 / A7 II / A7R II).
Also, the new Panasonic and Olympus cameras are reportedly also good.
It would be amusing if the D5 is a mirrorless.
>>2713914
It won't, but perhaps it could perform like the NX1 in live view mode.
That would be a huge deal.
At least now we are sure that the next Nikon DF won't be a POS.
