I have the chance to purchase one of these cameras-they are both the same price to buy for me so i am just wondering which one will benefit me the most. As far as image quality and AF i think they are pretty much like for like. I guess its the big display that is tempting me towards the NX. I am not sure really if i would take any advantage of the android OS.

Perhaps switching to touch screen only control might take a while to get used to. Does/Has anybody owned either and chosen one over the other.

I realise the NX30 has a beter EVF but i dont tend to use them unless i really cant see the screen.

Most of my shots are portrait and kids with the 30mm on my nx3000.

Perhaps i should invest in quality glass and there is none better than the 85mm f1.4

In fact many people say the nx3000 images are better than the NX30,NX so maybe opting to invest in glass might be a better option.

I doubt that NX3000 takes visibly better pictures.

The 85mm is quite a specialised lens though and maybe the 30mm is good enough for me.

I'd recommend NX45mm first. Very good lenses for kids, not bad for portraits.

85mm is very good but as you said, very specialised.

Any comments appreciated.

Ragarding camera, any will do. Screen on galaxy is very big indeed but also fixed. What camera you have currently?
