Re the nx300, you can assign ae-lock to the function button? can you have dof preview assigned elsewhere? many thanks.

the NX20 is the more "DSLR style" camera and mimics those shooting habits offering you more custom buttons or pre defined ones so clearly the NX20 uses the spaces it offers for more dedicated buttons.

regards handling the cam, I am completely ok with the new NX300 grip as I can hold very comfortable and can shoot the macros with the 60mm single handed with arm stretched out towards the objects/insects

Not sure how the nex gen EVF version (NX30 ?) will look like though but the EVF is still a very good reason to look out for the NX20. I prefer the NX20 EVF versus e.g. the V1 (that I own as well)

Regards IQ, i do not see much advantage there for the NX300  when using RAW upto ISO800. JPEG on the NX300 is clearly better in all aspects and RAW is as well better usable at higher higher ISO values due to better color saturation on the new Sensor. Personally I prefer the NX300 output meanwhile.

regards video... I am using the "1" for that ;-), it has less artefacts and I can get the V1 into anyones hands telling him/her to record in Auto mode  while I shoot stills
