NX1000 replacement

Hi,

I'm currently owning a NX1000 (I got it for cheap money) with 16/20/30/45 and 85mm lenses.

It's a rather nice camera, but I'm really fed up with its slowness, and most important, the uselessness of the LCD screen on sunny days. As I'm mostly taking pictures while hiking, it's becoming more and more annoying.

Because of the not-so-good JPEG engine, and as a former NX10 owner, I use to only work with RAW files (processed with LR4). So I can't stand reading the sentence "processing".

I've seen several affordable NX20 here and there, and I wonder if it worth the "upgrade".

I mostly need a good EVF and faster operations.

- Is the NX20 just a kind of NX1000 + EVF, or does it work better, faster ?

- How good is the EVF ? The one in my NX10 was not that great : easily blown out by clear lights and about useless  in the darker ones. I don't mind if it's a bit slow.

- Can the electric shutter be used alone, so that the camera remains silent ?

The NX300 looks nice, but I can't stand that P&S framing anymore. As many people, I'd love to get a NX30 being a NX300+EVF, but I'm not sure we'll get it.

So my other idea was to sell all my Samsung stuff and go for an OM-D, which looks like a terrible beast. But it's an MFT camera, so it's something different.

And I don't want to carry a DSLR anymore.

Thanks for any kind of help.
