I received my new NX300 yesterday, and when I inserted the battery, with the camera still off, the light on the rear of the camera started flashing green, and the word "SAMSUNG" was flashing on the screen. I called Samsung, and after a review, they said it was new to them, and I should exchange the camera.

Has anyone seen this?

I was thinking it may be a faulty battery, so I looked for a local dealer. Not only do none in the Northern California area carry the 1130 battery, but neither do Samsung or Amazon.

I'm reluctantly returning it. (I asked this question on this forum yesterday an, hoping for some easy solution, but it was unanswered and then removed. (Strange)

Yeah, that sounds like something is faulty and it is stuck in a reboot loop?  I haven't seen that before.  The few times I do get strange behavior I just pop the battery out and stick it back in.  I don't think I have had to do that with my NX300 yet.

Sorry to hear that!  I really like my NX300 so far.  I think you can also use the 1030 battery from the NX200, NX210, etc, but I haven't tried.
