Christian Family - SAMSUNG EX-2  Daylight Test : Christian Gallery
My SAMSUNG EX-2 is almost solely used for its excellent (German) Schneider f/1.4@24 (-72)mm lens.
It is not obstructive, you can use it in sensible environment as theatres without getting attention - I shoot it in almost darkness @ 1.4
It is my f:1.4 “lens” of choice.
For NEX (with adapters) and my A65 I shoot @f/1.4:
24mm ->36mm MF Rokinon 24mm (excellent lens)
30mm ->46mm AF SIGMA 30mm (APSC only, my standard lens on SONY SLTs)
85mm ->130mm AF
They all are pretty chunky pieces of glass.
The EX-2 has a "Silent" mode, where I set it to.
The last camera I remember I could shoot in stealth mode was a 35mm KONICA Hexar AF ( http://www.cameraquest.com/konhex.htm, http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Konica_Hexar ), (while I preferred the HEXAR RF over ANY Leica RF....) setting me back almost 1000 $ twenty years ago (worth every penny)
Also, compared to the stupid cheap screen on the "High End" SONY NEX 7 (SONY had to replace screens as well from my first NEX 3 as from my new NEX 7 after only 11 month of use!) - the EX-2 has a better quality tilt swiveling AMOLED screen which also has better visibility, enabling you to "shoot around the corner" (Until I introduced myself to Christian, no one was aware, that I was taking photos here) and protects the screen when swiveled towards the back – while the screens of my NEXes (7, 5n, 3n) get scratched after a week of shooting only……)
The body is solid AluMag, even the battery door. I have it mounted on the dash and can take videos while driving; power is supported through a 10$ SAMSUNG 12V/mini USB cable they support for their Galaxy’s, thus battery always full, this is the only camera I shoot without having at least 1 spare battery with me….
Some “experts” complain about the missing separate charger, however I totally agree with SAMSUNG’s approach using any existing USB port for recharging….
For a reason, a SAMSUNG EX-1 was my “Camera of  the Year” in 2012; a major criteria is price as well, SAMSUNG has a terrible marketing (at least in the US/European market), they do not seem to know their products very well. With better marketing, this camera would have the place it deserves!
SAMSUNG – ARE YOU LISTENING?
Comparing an EX-2 with a NEX 7 would be like comparing Mangos to Oranges, however, here the differences:
Screen&Viewfinder:
AMOLED vs LCD – Better Visibility
Full swivel vs tilt in only one – Shoot around the corner – Stealth mode
Screen protection vs no protection – pocketable without scratching screen
No viewfinder vs EXCELLENT viewfinder (limits use of an EX-2 as only camera)
Body:
Excellent metal bodies
Clearly defined controls vs playstation controls
Usable Video button vs Idiotic video button. (Remember any camera manufacturer who offered a Firmware “update” to disable a function because of ill designed hardware? You now have a choice between missing a shot, as you hit the video button bringing the camera to your eye, or missing a video shot, as you had disabled the function. 
Menu:
Clearly defined simple setup vs Kids play menu. Impossible to change settings quick – even after shooting the NEX since the introduction I prefer the SLT A type menu, probably the greatest benefit from SONY’s purchase of MINOLTA, thus we do not have to fiddle around with an “idiotic” menu like on the NEXes.

In beta - 
To be continued…
