Fact - Media Markt / Saturn group in Germany say NX1 is discontinued, are running discounts to clear stock.
 
Fact - More than 1 specialist store in Berlin has told me Samsung are shuttering the camera business entirely, not just the major retailers
 
Fact - Samsung's very own customer support staff, very likely with permission from their bosses or head office have told us the NX1 is being discontinued. Not an isolated incident. Other users have had the same response separately, from other Samsung teams in other countries.
 
Fact - For over a month rumours have been in existence. The fact they are in existence is not proof by itself but put two and two together.
 
Fact - My own contact at Samsung is quiet, likely assigned to different division as per earliest rumours
 
Fact - The first sources of the rumours were reputable South Korean news sites
 
Fact - Stores globally have been clearing Samsung stock all at the SAME TIME. From Sweden to Australia
 
Fact - NX system sales haven't met Samsung's expectations
 
Fact - The statement Oliver had is word for word a match to previous official Samsung statements about discontinued products
 
Fact - Samsung haven't denied any of this when asked
.

The people arguing that the rumours are false are arguing on the side of insanity. Let's look at the possibility the "rumours aren't true"...
 
Do people really think more than one Samsung team in more than one country would say the business is over, they are going, NX1 is discontinued, do people really think that is normal behaviour or some kind of employee disgruntlement? Only if it were just ONE rogue reply by ONE member of staff could that possibly be true.
 
Add to that, do you think that random stores all round the world in Sweden, Australia, Germany would all suddenly join in just for fun, at risk of losing their jobs for spreading defamatory statements about one of the largest consumer electronics giants in the world?
 
Add to that, do you think the contacts I have after 5 years of working in the photo and video industry running a well known blog are also having a big laugh as well? Some of them directly to my face?
 
Add to that, do you think the NX1 has been a rip roaring sales success?!
 
Add to that, does anyone seriously believe the sudden clearing of stock, not replenishing old stock, dropping prices of lenses not just the NX1, do you think that is completely unrelated and that it doesn't give weight to the above sources of information?!
 
Add to that, do you think the similarity with the statement PC Advisor got about the laptops being discontinued is just a coincidence?
 
Yep... so mad to believe in rumours huh!?

Soit l'annonce d'un successeur au NX1 dans certains marchés seulement ou encore la cession de la division caméras à un autre fabricant (Sony ?).  
 
Le père Noël existe !  

Even if it's absolutely clear that something's going on with nx line, I'll hold till CES. Many sources seem to point out that we'll have formal announcements (new cameras? New lenses? Partnership? System demise?) by then.
