One of the most underrated cameras on the market. Somehow Samsung is known for smartphones, TVs, computer screens... but not that much for photographic cameras, even though they make pretty good lenses in cooperation with German Schneider Kreuznach Optics.

The articulating EVF is excellent, wish all my cameras had it! Sure bits higher resolution, but bulky and not as elegant Olympus VF4 viewfinder.

I concur about the "underrating," of Samsung cameras. I started my Sammy journey with the GX10, (a Pentax K10 clone). But Samsung did their own bit with the GX10, including the image processing, and I preferred the Sammy image to the Pentax one. I still have the GX10, and use in every once on a while to ensure it keeps working. As I said, I love the screen, except for the size of it. But when you put it alongside the Galaxy NX whew, there is quite a difference in size. The GNX is a beast compared to the NX30, but the GNX screen is a thing of beauty, for all that.

aquainted with it. First impressions are:-

It is a nice camera to hold, it has a good ergonomic design.

The rear screen is nice with its fully articulated ability.

Fast focusing, and write speeds.

The screen is a little annoying to me at the moment, it seems so tiny, even compared to the NX300, but put it beside the Galaxy NX and, well, there's no competition, is there? The GNX is a marvellous camera for manual focus work, as you can really see the parts of the image that are in focus, especially so, when one uses the DMF and the coloured edges to indicate focus points. The screen of the NX30 does not show this so clearly, because of it being smaller. But we shall see.

I have not had a great deal of time with it yet, so I may have to revise my thoughts as I get more used to the camera.
