Re: NX20 Freezing (not the lock up issue)

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.

12 bits * 20 MP = 30 MB, plus embedded JPEG, etc. They just don't compress them, or not much. Other manufactures use lossless or slightly lossy compression to cut them back 2 or 3 times. I would like to see some more compression too.

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.

I agree completely!
