Re: My personal review of Samsung NX300

Thanks for this great review!  You've given me just the information I needed to make my decision!

I'm upgrading from the Panasonic GH1 and was considering the NX300, GX1, E-PL5 and Nikon V1/V2.  But I couldn't find any info on the performance of the hybrid AF in video on the NX300 which is a key feature I want since my #2 use case is indoor video of children (which ruled out the big guns like the D7000 since their AF performance in video is reportedly poor, especially in low light).  It sounds like it isn't very good and I'd be better off sticking with m4/3 or maybe the V1 (although I had to go down in sensor size - but the features I want are totally there with regard to AF performance in video).

If I've misunderstood your impressions of the NX300 video AF performance please let me know as I'm going to exclude it from the running.

Thanks.
