Well, my camera came, and so far so good. I got it mainly for taking product photographs (because Imaging Resource says the color accuracy is good). I usually photograph my products in natural daylight in front of the window. I haven't had a chance to do that, but I did take some photos under lamp light, and I must say that I'm very impressed. The photos are crisp and clear. I've also noticed that I can turn the exposure compensation all the way up without increasing the ISO. Since the water-color effect is the least at ISO 100, that means that I can avoid it in all my product shots. However, I'm not seeing any water-color effect at all.

When I begin to take the camera out for pleasure photography, I'll investigate the water-color thing. Maybe you are doing something that causes it. Is the image quality in your camera set to super-fine?

Even if I'm not happy with my landscape shots, I am going to keep this camera for product shots. It's a relief to know that I don't have to return it.

I'm glad you feel you will get some of the use you expected from your NX1100. I really like mine.

I only shoot RAW and I believe that the SuperFine setting only affects images taken in JPEG or RAW+.

As I said elsewhere I think it is a reasonably unique (but repeatable) set of circumstances where you will see the watercolour effect which is a combination of size of the detail in the image, lighting and accuracy of focus.
