La generación N-2: es lo que hay.
Para mi gusto totalmente a destiempo y con muy poco sentido de la oportunidad pues acaban de salir la Samsung Galaxy S4 Zoom y la Samsung Galaxy NX, va el bueno de Steve’s Digicams y publica hoy su análisis en profundidad de la anterior a todas ellas: la Samsumg Galaxy Camera.
Sea como sea, es posible que este artiligio baje de precio ante la irrupción de sus hermanas mayores, aunque lo más probable es que desaparezca del mapa.
