As I got G3 and in doubt of which system to really go for, this is interesting. Do not use the screen much, and speed is not very important. Even NX10 is better than G3 in daylight, and with better high ISO and battery and larger sensor and the same tilting screen NX20 is almost perfect.

I really liked the NX20. My only real complaint was shooting RAW and the camera is a bit slow. This is fine for just walking around taking pictures, but if you shoot a short burst you have to wait a few seconds to do another. The NX30 fixed that issue completely, making it much more usable for a portrait shoot where I might want to do a short burst, followed by another a couple seconds later.

Image quality was very good with the NX20 and I really liked the viewfinder worked well with my glasses.

The price is definitely right for the camera

Handled NX20 for a few minutes and liked it. Good to know the viewfinder is working well with glasses. And heard it's larger than in NX30. Not into portraits and sports so speed will not mean much. Would not complain about $500.

But G3 also is fine in many ways, like shape and size.
