NX1000 pricing

at first I was a bit surprised at how expensive the NX1000 is. But after looking over the specs, it's the exact same camera as the NX210 but with a plastic bodied (which, from previews I've read, is still highly durable much like the plastic NX10) and a "worse" screen (which isn't even that bad; it's a 900,000+ dot LCD screen).

If it skimped out on internals, like using an older generation sensor, having less shooting performance, etc., like M4/3 chooses to do with the EPL3/GF3, etc., then the price should be lower. But considering it's very much the same camera, I think the price is right....or at least the price difference is from the NX210. I think the NX210 needs to be a bit cheaper though; starting price should be about $799 at most I think, probably $750 would be killer (although, considering mirrorless cams are more expensive in general, like the Oly EP3, i guess it's not that bad)

also, the new 20-50mm lens looks quite nice- still no OIS, but it's 30% smaller and has a metal mount now. the 18-55 now has a metal mount as well- although i wonder if the zoom/focus rings have become dampened to provide a nicer resistance.
