Re: NX20 Freezing (not the lock up issue)

Fair enough.I supposed we can get over focused on one type and forget the horrors that exist everywhere. I would be interested to know what firmware you used with your NX11. I think my problems started with 1.11. I would be interested if you ever ran the camera with this. I might see if I can alter the binary file to con it into reloading 1.1 which some people have done to roll back NX cameras to more stable firmware.

I find that interesting, as I had an NX11 for a long time and it was trouble free? I got top dollar for mine when I sold it online, but to each their own. I can give you many examples of issues that cross almost every major camera manufacture if you care, but simply go do some research on your own and you will see what I mean.

Here are some examples though:

1. Fuji x100 & x10 - firmware issues at launch on onward. After all their efforts Fuji continued to screw this up introducing new bugs in successive launches of firmware.

2. Sony NEX 5n and NEX 7 - manufacture defect (NEX 5n) causing clicking noise in all cameras launched within the first couple of months. Not sure this was ever fixed. Bad kit lenses on NEX 7 and firmware issues that have still not been fixed.

3. Nikon D800 and Canon MKIII - top end cameras with firmware issues at launch that still have issues that need to be fixed. Canon admits exposure errors and light leaks while Nikon defends green screen issues and confirms focus / viewfinder issues.

4. Samsung NX200/20 - slow processing times in launch firmware - unnecessarily large RAW files. Still confused as to why the RAW files are so large given the sensor size.

That said, I have enjoy the Fuji x100, NEX 5n and NX20 even with these flaws as they all offer different excellent functionality in their respective areas.
