Hi Helen,

I've been reading your comments lately and wanted to thank you for your information. I also got my NX3000 just 2 days ago and I'm very happy with it.

Anyway I was afraid of that low-res playback images you mentioned and I could also see that poor quality on my NX3000. So I looked for Firmware-Updates and yes, there was one update from ver. 1.00->1.01. It's been our for a while so I guess you also updated your camera yet.

So after I updated my cam I could clearly see an improvement. To me it seems like the same quality compared to my NX1000 if you keep the lower screen resolution in mind. So for me the FW update worked.

Please try that if you haven't done it already in which case I'd be a little confused.

Best René

Rene,

Thank you - this sounds excellent and promising! I admit, I hadn't checked for an update yet as I thought it was too soon for one to appear but it sounds very much as though Samsung have realised this problem existed and fixed it, as I'd hoped they might. Thank you for bringing it to my attention! I will check it out at Samsung's web page and install it tomorrow, after I've recharged the battery (and when I more awake!).

This will fix my major objection to the camera - all the other things are mainly just subjective (the "feel" of the camera etc.) though I do wish they'd kept the dust removal system in it.

PS - Did you do the firmware update via the i-Launcher?  I've just checked a few of Samsung's websites at various countries and they don't seem to have (or mention) v1.01 of the firmware for conventional download (as you can do on other models if you don't want to use the i-Launcher) - but maybe Samsung are only doing updates via i-Launcher for the NX3000.

Thanks again!

Helen
