"I have also received email tips on this topic but never found them reliable
enough to publish them online. Several readers have asked me about my
opinion on all this, so here it is - I have no reason to believe any of this
is true, here are my reasons:
Questionable sources/lack of reliable info: I would think that if this is
true, I would have received multiple reports from reliable sources by now.
I don't think Samsung can provide any tech know-how to Nikon except access
to sensors (Sony recently purchased Toshiba, Nikon has used Sony and Toshiba
sensors in the past). Samsung will not completely get rid of their sensor
division, because they need it for their mobile devices.
I believe Nikon is going for a full frame mirrorless camera, the Samsung NX
will not be of any help to Nikon unless Samsung has already developed a full
frame mirrorless camera (there are rumors about that as well). Spending
money to acquire just another APC-S mirrorless system after Sony and Leica
already have full frame solutions is questionable to say the least.
If Nikon has acquired Samsung's camera division, Samsung would not be
publicly announcing that they are pulling out of different markets.
Nikon is a Japanese company, Samsung is a Korean company - a possible
integration will be difficult for many reasons.
Nikon and Samsung are publicly traded companies, if something really
happened, there would be press releases from both sides. There are no leaks/
rumors on that level of negotiations between companies of that size.
Adding a new NX mount to the current Nikon lineup doesn't make any sense.
Nikon will not gain a big user base - Samsung users are loyal, but there are
not many of them.
Nikon is very conservative and proud company with a big heritage- I just don
't see them aggressively buying another camera division and spending huge
amount of cash on a system that basically did not go anywhere (the NX1 is
still one of the best overall mirrorless cameras out there). I believe
Nikon is thinking/believing that they are doing just fine and they have the
full potential to develop anything they want if there is need for it.
Somebody has been spreading false/made-up reports/rumors in the past few
months and several websites have fallen for it by reporting it online as
news coming from a "new source". I know for fact that those are 100%
fabricated stories by the same individual(s). I would be very careful with
anything you've seen online in the past few months. CanonRumors also
reported on that few weeks ago.
Anyway, those are just my own opinions. Let me know what you think in the
comments section.
