Then when the NX1 comes out, you will wish you stuck with Samsung!

That thing looks amazing, but it's $1300!

I'm wondering if I just need to either buy the local NX300 with the 18 - 55, or maybe one from Adorama with the 45mm 2d/3d for $450. I could wait on the NX1, which is saying September from what I read, but still, $1300 body only when the a6000 is $650...

Of course I'd need new lenses, but I only use the 30mm right now anyway, so I'm not out a whole lot. I think if I can get better low light IQ, I guess I can use manual focus when I have to.

Ugh...

Haha.. Yeah! I only mentioned the nx1 because the aforementioned 6D or Fuji aren't cheap either. I think the NX300 + 45mm, as mentioned, will be a faster combo for you. Maybe way after the NX1 has been out for quite sometime, the prices will drop a bit to make it a little more affordable. I'm assuming the NX30 should come down after the NX1 comes out, too.

I don't think the NX30 is good enough. It will be a long time before it gets to the price that might be attractive to me.

The NX1 or the NX400 sound intriguing. If I haven't abandoned Samsung first, it will be interesting to read the reviews when they are out.
