I hope I dont get any of the screen problems that other owners are getting...Uff Time will tell

Should be fine unless abused.  Meh, even mine is fine and it has been put through abusively cold temperatures, well below the stated operating temps.  My copy has some issues with the dial next to the shutter button in those extreme colds, but it returns to normal operation once it's warmed back up again.  My camera also took a mild fall recently, completely fine.  They may not be DSLR tough, but they're not fine china like some reviewers mistakenly make them out as.  One idiot was even seriously concerned about using the 85mm on the NX300, worried about the front heavy weight.  Sure, the 85mm isn't light, but I've used a Canon 75-300mm with adapter and 26mm of extension tubes at full extension and you can swing that around by just the body if you want without any chance of damaging it.  It's big and awkward, but the camera is totally able to handle it.
