Ok..

if you are shooting kids you need to ask yourself if the 85 is right.. it is a tight lens not super tight but enough that it will be very different then the 30 and it isn't a fast focusing lens. If it is right... and you think you are going to be able to use it go for it..

The NX30 is a good camera. but are there features you feel that you will use that you don't have on the NX3000? if there are that might be the best all around choice. Particularly as the processing is better, and the focusing might be easier.

How focusing can be easier? Maybe slower, but not easier.

iirc the NX3000 is a Contrast only Focus where as the NX30 has AFII PDAF which could speed up the focus in some situations, and get the focus right in situations that the NX3000 would have a hard time.. that is what I meant by easier.
