NX30 is the youngest sibling and will have (maybe) a slightly better sensor and software/JPEG engine.

Like the NX2000, the NX30 has a better jpeg engine than the NX20, at least with higher ISOs

Touchscreen would be a nice addon, but not a "must have".

Other than with the NX2000, the NX30 has all the buttons and wheels, which is nice while you are using the EVF.

How is the EFV from the NX20 compared to the new one on the NX30 ?

Higher resolution and a bit brighter. Like with my NX10 or former NX20, I can't use the EVF with my glasses on. The sensor is too unreliable.

What else are the "big" differences ?

The NX30 is a bit faster all around than the NX20

Is the IQ of the NX20 comparable to that of the NX2000 ?

With RAW yes, JPEG OOC the NX2000 is better

If some one could enlighten me I would be grateful.

I got my NX30 last week for 417€ from RingFoto Becker via ebay. Even without lens, this was more than enough below the 500€ threshold I had set myself. With the NX20 I was an early adopter and paid a little bit more 2 years ago, but with the NX100 and NX20 sold I had not much to add to get the NX30. I will keep my NX10 because I own a Samyang 2.8/8mm, which does not well with the 20MP NXes and I will keep the NX2000, because it's a nice little camera with a pancake. I think 3 NXes are enough...;)
