So the NX3000 doesn't have the Ultrasonic Wave Sensor Cleaning, like my NX1000 does have? I know the Display Resolution is cutted to half, 460k instead of 920k Pixels, too.

That's correct.  Samsung have left off some features whilst introducing others, perhaps to clarify its position in the range.  Also gone is that vertical peaking bar for manual focus - the NX3000 doesn't have the more recent type of peaking either, just magnification in MF.  Though the screen has 460k dots instead of 920k, I don't find that too disturbing a difference as (to me) it seems a better-quality panel that they've used, with less obvious lines on it - I always had trouble believing my NX1000 really had a 920k screen (I still have that camera).

Considering its quite low price, I think the NX3000 is worth having, if only to get the 16-50 PZ lens at a bargain price.

The really-low resolution playback issue I mentioned in my original post has been largely solved by a firmware upgrade (it's still a bit softer than the real image, but on the initial firmware it was a really serious problem, for me at least).
