I agrea on what you said, let me thank also all pple who helped from French (and non French) EFL community people from inside (and outside) Samsung, the Polish team who shared very professional demos and of couse all visitors. Note I have some pictures to share just register at http://db.tt/gn5Qffd6 and/or tell me your email to add to this shared dropbox folder, if you want to upload more that's possible too as long you agrea to have them under CC SA licence ,? The z3 developer who requested a teeshirt at our booth came to the online meeting, so he definitly deserves a tee shirt ;) For "suggestions" about products, I've found this opinionlab's survey : https://quitter.is/url/179362 <https://secure.opinionlab.com/ccc01/comment_card_d.asp?width=360&height=640&referer=http%3A%2F%2Fsupport-product.www.samsung.com%2Fus%2Fsupport%2F&prev=&time1=1454374181923&time2=1454374251710¤tURL=http%3A%2F%2Fwww.samsung.com%2Fus%2Fsupport%2F&ocodeVersion=5.9.0&type=Popup> Let me try it with NX300, to suggest that I miss a wire to keep the lens protector attached to camera.
