45mm seems a very good focal length for children as it is no too tight but will give you background defocus. 50mm can be on the edge and a bit tight so I think Samsung thought long and hard about 45mm. It was originally from the rumour mill going to be 55mm.

85mm seems more for studio type shots with static subjects, which with children probably means bored expressions, especially difficult as at f1.4 the depth of field is going to be pretty shallow.

30mm is a great focal length for general use so a new NX30 might be useful so you can alternate with your kit zoom on a different body without the faff of lens changing.

As stated in first post i have the nx3000. I currently use the 30mm so the 45mm is not really a big difference from the 30mm. Perhaps its the AF speed that would be beneficial on the 45mm.

I would be keeping the nx3000 as my backup so maybe it will complement the galaxy nx more than the nx30 as it also has a flip screen.. Damn its that big screen that is tempting.
