With Fuji setting the standard in the seamless incorporation of retro camera style with modern technology, it was only a matter of time before the masses jumped off the proverbial ban-wagon and mimicked the apparent winning formula.

Samsung Prepping the “Retro” NX-200 RS
Samsung NX200 Release Date Spotted
Back when the Samsung NX200 was announced during the IFA show on September 1st in Berlin, no set release date was given. We were unfortunately dealt the “sometime before the end of the year” treatment. Well, it looks like that “sometime” is, in fact, October 1st. According to Amazon UK, the 20.3 megapixel, compact system camera will be available with the 20-50mm f/3.5-5.6 i-Function kit lens next week.
The Samsung NX200 will retail for 700 EUR or 900 US dollars respectively.
