I paisd 570€ for the nx300 with 18-55mm, back in april. That's 8 months ago. Now here in Italy it is very common and easy to find the same kit for 450€ and, if you look around, the lowest price here is 416,50€. My bet is that it will fall well under 400€ with the beginning of the new year.

That said, if the nx30 has the same specs than nx300 plus evf, I wouldn't buy it anyway (at any price), since I would like bigger buffer, faster af, faster operational speed, better dr and better high iso performance. Thus I wouldn't like to pay for having the same specs of the one camera I had for one year...

Ok, so prices in Finland are much higher than in Italy, that's for sure. You lucky ***tards.

But let's be realistic. Like I've said previously, I don't find any fault in the NX300's sensor (dr, high ISO performance). If you compare it to the competition (just don't talk to me about dxo numbers, I mean actual use with ACR) the sensor easily matches the competition. Bigger buffer should be easy to provide and we won't know the buffer size until we see the camera (not that I personally need that big a buffer, because these cameras are not that cut for action photography). As far as AF goes, I need reliability (NX300 is already very reliable to my understanding) and ability focus in poor light - AF speed is of secondary importance to me and I think I would be plenty satisfied with NX300 AF speed. And you won't find anything better from other APS-C mirrorless cameras.
