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.

Congrats Allan

I bet the NX30 is nice change after the GNX general handing wise other than tripod landscapes though . Admittedly I`ve not spent long with a Galaxy NX but the whole pregnant NX20 stuck to a Galaxypad thing didn`t work for me when I tried one .... I'd have thought the 30 may have had the same screen as the 300 ??

I`ve reverted back to the NX1000 .. I Sold the 20, I found it actually slower, through the menus, shot to shot and and less consistent focus wise than the NX1000 and 1100 for some bizarre reason. Loved the twisty screen though .. I do prefer the 200/300/1000 format overall in a mirrorless though , I`ll wait for the NX300 replacement ..

Hi, Adam, thanks for the, "congrats." The Galaxy NX is a dream machine for landscape and Macro work. If you've never seen one in action you really should try to have a look. Listen, I'm hopeless at explaining things, but I'll try here for you. If you use the DMF function, and the colour highlighting action, it works like I've never seen, on any other camera. I used a Schneider-KREUXNACH-D-Xenon 100m.m MACRO lens, (a rebadged Pentax). I had the camera set to DMF=ON, colour=RED. When the Galaxy NX is focused on any perticular point on the item to be photgraphed, if you slowly move the focussing ring on the lens, you can clearly see a RED horizontal liine moving either up or down the image, depending upon which way you are turning the focus ring.  Where do you live, Adam is it close to S. Wales? Come up and we can have day of it.

As for the NX30's screen, it doesn't seem to be as bad in sunlight as the 300 was, but saying that, the 300's problem was easily solved with that Vikuiti anti glare screen from Germany. The 30's tilting VF certainlt helps with macro use in sunlight though. But I think I will still get another German screen for the 30, will let you know here, if and when I do so.
