Questions about NX1000 and NX1100

I wonder if your Nikon was one of the Nikon 1 series? They are unusual in that for a lot of the models you can't actually turn the image review feature off (or make it longer if you need it) - you can do both of these things on Samsungs. However, even with the Nikon 1 cameras, just half-pressing the shutter release button clears the review - as it does on all other brands these days when they are showing an instant review. So it needn't be a big problem, even if you eventually decide to have it turned on for the instances you might find it useful.

Hope that helps too.

The Nikon camera that I returned was the P7700.

Since 2005 I've been using an old Canon A620 (7 MP compact with no RAW output).  I turned the 2-second review feature off on that camera, and that allows me to take rapid-fire shots of my products.  What I'll do is I'll take about 8 shots at 3 different exposure compensation settings, and then I'll choose the best shot later.  After each shot, I see nothing but the view through the lens.  With the Nikon, however, the camera settings (with icons) stayed on the screen for 3-4 seconds after.  The fact that I could remove them by half-pressing the shutter release didn't appease me because I have a heavy finger and tended to take a picture by accident.  Besides, I just didn't want to go through the trouble of the extra press.

The NX1100 can be purchased for as little as $270 right now; and since my business makes me less than $20,000 per year, I need to find a cheap camera.  To get a camera with an APS-C sensor and detachable lens (and good color reproduction) for just $270 is a chance I can't miss.

Thanks for the information you shared.
