NX200 - review in heise.de - Best buck for the money?

The facts are clear and no big news for all of you. But: for this review is available in German only (and only in print or paid pdf) this may be of interest.

Heise foto special edition 2/2012 reviewed the NX200 and concludes with a price consideration. I understand this as a serious advice for those who buy: NX may be todays "best buck for the money" on system camera market.

Please note: this is a poor web-based translation (of the Resume)

After a rather weak NX100 the Koreans now convince with the much improved and much higher quality sounding NX200. Even the kit zoom lens delivers remarkable imaging performance, with a central resolution of 100 percent of the maximum sensor of 20 megapixels. However, the prerequisite is the restriction to sensitivities below ISO 800, because their Achilles heel is the problematic noise performance at higher ISO settings.

Sony's NEX-7 delivers on paper, but an even higher resolution and, marked with 24 megapixels, is currently the top of the standings. In practice, the plain kit zoom lens swallows as much resolution, that the sensor hardly reaches more than 16 megapixel level - those who do not invest in high-quality optics have given away the plus in resolution (of the high resolution sensor nominal count). And this additional cost is considerable: Bold 1350 Euro for the kit with Standard Zoom For this you get to today's street prices, two Samsung NX200 kit (admittedly without electronic viewfinder).
