One camera is here today; the other is a hint of what's to come. The Samsung NX500 is apparently the kid brother to the NX1. The only thing that offsets my desire to own either of these cameras is the pricey premium lenses. Still, they're very tempting. The Ricoh/Pentax offering is a product under development (don't you just hate these teasers!). The following are portions of the press releases for each product.
