Re: NX200 high ISO seems great actually ...

There are four great new cameras with APS-C sized sensors: the Sigma SD1 (not quite new, but newly priced), the Fuji X-Pro1, the Sony NEX-7, and the Samsung NX200. The SD1 has a unique sensor that has three layers of 15.4 megapixels and it doesn't require an anti-aliasing filter. The X-Pro1 also has a unique sensor (although different from Sigma's) that has 16.3 megapixels and it doesn't require an anti-aliasing filter, either. The NEX-7 has 24 megapixels and a weak anti-aliasing filter. And the NX200 has 20 megapixels and a weak anti-aliasing filter.

Hm.. sorta.

SD-1 is only base ISO camera, RAW files possible to develop only through two RAW developers (and one is Mac only). Its camera for hardcore photographers which know a lot about processing and dont mind shooting base ISO only. Same goes with DP2M.

Fuji is sorta fine. Sluggish AF, not exactly great EVF (but it has OVF too). RAW files hard to process too (LR doesnt work well with it and most developers dont support it, SilkyPix is supplied with it and it doesnt do justice).

NEX-7, probably best of bunch and closest to "normal" camera. Only downside is that AA isnt that weak (A77 has weaker) and doesnt bode well with wide-angles. And ISO is pretty much same story as NX200. Has nice EVF tho. And focus peaking (I just love that feature).

From these, NX200 is best bang for bucks. But NX100 probably even better. (unless you like manual focus lens) Otherwise no EVF on NX200 isnt nice. Not much more gripes with it.
