I have the NX1000 and use it mainly for landscape and have also noticed the water colour effect, however only ever on JPEGs and when processing the Raw file of the same photo I have never seen it.

I've now taken about 170 photos (JPG's only) and I haven't seen one photo that has the water-color effect.  However, the optics aren't particularly good (meaning that even sharp areas of the image are somewhat soft).  One of the first things I did when I got the camera was I set the JPG quality to super-fine.

What I am finding that disturbs me is that both metering and color balance are somewhat unreliable.  Metering seems to be better in Program mode than Smart mode.  As for color balance, even when I specify what it should be (meaning that I don't let the camera select it), some pictures will come out warmer than others.  It's quite annoying.

My problem is:  Do I accept the flaws of the camera because I paid a low price for it, or do I return it?  I can't decide.
