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.

I have , but only tried "normal" pics with it, and Gladly handed it back - LOL . Sounds great for manual focussing stuff though , probably would be good for product work but I use smaller sensor cams and the G1X for that (DOF)

Yeah I suppose the smaller sensor cams are easier to handle than the almost, "brick sized." GNX too, lol. I still love the GNX for macro work though. I'm off to Barry Island, (of Gavin & Stacey fame), today, and am taking the GNX with Macro lens, and the NX30 with me. I hope I get something reasonable.

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.

I liked the 20`s full twister for that , I much prefer it to the tilt design even if its less handy for waist level

Now, there again we differ. I can see the use of a full tlter screen, just have no use for it myself, as I don't do, "selfies," so the 300 tiltable up and down was perfect for me. It gave easie access for low level, (saves getting down on my ageing knees), macro/close up shots. Also tilting it down gives the ability to get some height for overhead crown shots, or just up looking down shots. I'll have to see today, how the 30's screen performs in bright sunlight.

Have a good day.
