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.

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

Any comments appreciated.

In my opinion you are asking the wrong question to the wrong audience.

First, you should ask yourself just what do you need to achieve with your photography.

Once you know this you can easily determine/ask which gear will help you fill your needs.

So take the time to do a self-evaluation of your photographic needs, this will put you in good stead.
