NX20 gives full sensor output in HDMI and analogue real time and allows the camera to be used at the same time. I used to use the analogue out live feed to a video transmitter on the balloon which downlinked to a laptop. The shutter was triggered with a model helicopter servo mounted on the hot shoe that pushed the shutter button.

Downside of the NX20 live feed is that it isn't a clean feed: you get the whole sensor feed with whatever you have selected on the rear LCD including the shutter/ aperture, battery status etc. I found it useful but it would be nice to have the option of the clean feed.

Ah, so that's what they're on about when referring to a clean HDMI out, I kind of took that for granted that it would be clean if it was there at all.  How tidy can you get the NX20 display?

Since they improved the stability / range of the wireless app I gave up the complicated and heavy radio remote system and use the wifi app. The jpeg results with the stabilised 18-55 produce perfectly acceptable results although the full control of the NX30 wifi would be nice.
