I am a long time Canon user with a 50D 60D 70D and 7D. Since buying a Samsung phone and two Samsung tablets,i noticed for the first time the Samsung cameras in their new space at my local Best Buy.

I was impressed with the cool and great builds of these cameras. Now I am reading this Samsung forum, and am thinking of getting the Samsung package (Samsung NX300 20.3MP Compact System Camera with 18-55mm Lens - Brown & Extra 50-200mm Lens) What do you other readers think?

It depends on your needs, but if you keep your 70D and/or 7D (assuming that's where you're at right now), the NX300 would be an excellent supplement. As a standalone, it's less capable by comparison as a do-it-all system, but it can still, in fact, do almost all. Just with a few caveats, as detailed in this forum.

But I've been overall quite pleased with the NX line, so I encourage getting into it. The 18-55 and 50-200 should be good, to that I might suggest adding the 10mm fisheye or 30mm f2.
