PSA Samsung's entrylevel NX1000 mirrorless cam with 2050mm lens now available for $700

Samsung’s least expensive and most compact mirrorless camera, the NX1000, is finally available for purchase, shipping today for $700. The entry-level kit, which was originally set to hit retailers last month, includes a 20-50mm f/3.5-5.6 lens, a 3-inch LCD (no AMOLED display, sadly) and the same 20.3-megapixel APS-C sensor included with the higher-end NX210 and NX20 — those models add an AMOLED display and electronic viewfinder, respectively, along with a handful of other enhancements. For photographers who don’t need an EVF or higher-end display, the NX1000 should suit most needs, and it’s available in both black, white and pink (the two latter models also ship with matching lenses). $700 may seem a bit steep, considering starter ILCs from other manufacturers can cost $600 or less, but retailers and online vendors are discounting the kit to $649 through the end of the month.
