Eric: thanks for replying to the question about NX20 reliability.  I thought I was going blind as I adjust my NX20's diopter knob continusously.

I thought I was going blind also.

It seems to go out of focus when switching to/from manual, or most commonly when zooming.  I can still bring the picture back into focus but based on what you and others have discovered, I am sending my NX20 to Samsung to have them repair the diopter.

I hate that tiny dial, I can barely get my fingers on it and the "clicks" are "mushy".  I don't know if I am turning it or not half of the time.  I go back and forth and finally just settle some where, a little frustrated at times.  Can they actually "fix it"?   I am reluctant to send it in if it is going to come back similar to the way it is now.  I was "writing it off" to poor design.  Does anyone know what it is like after it is "repaired"?

One of the biggest reasons I chose the NX20 over my recently returned Sony NEX-6 was that I couldn't get a large enough range on the NEX-6 diopter so my shots with the Sony seemed blurry through the EVF.   BTW, I really, really like the NX20.  And it is so much lighter than lugging around all my DSLR gear and lenses, especially on long backpacks.

I too "really, really like" both the NX10 and the NX20.  It only cost $400 and I take it everywhere, because if I need to, I can put a 30mm on it and stuff it in my pocket.  I simply use it all of the time.
