Having used the camera a little more more feature wishes have come up:

"Always on" focus peaking
Using a manual focus lens with an adapter it's an enormous pain that the focus peaking gets turned off every time you take a shot. It seems like having that button be a constant on/off toggle would make much more sense. Really wish they implemented this.

Set a region for focus assistance magnification
It's helpful when you can have a 5 or 8 time magnification for manual focusing, it's less helpful when it's always dead center. Most of the NX cameras have a touchscreen - how about being able to tap on the screen as you would normally set a focus point, but in this case you would set the area to enlarge, complete with a different sized rectangle for 5 or 8 times magnification.

"Set aperture" for manual lenses for EXIF purposes
Ok, this might be a little too convoluted for the average user, but it would be neat if you could, say, in manual mode set an "Aperture" that would be highlighted in a different color or something that simply gets saved in EXIF instead of "NaN".

More to come, I'm sure.
