Camera offers great quality in good light, but fails to impress in low light, specially in JPG. In Raw results are a lot more cleaner with a little pp work in Lightroom, but it isn't on par with 4/3 cameras or Sony Nex line. Otherwise, results are good up to higher sensitivities for web use or good sized prints, if you work a little. It also applies to DR, which I found a little restricted compared to it's m 4/3 or Sony peers, but easily worked around thanks to pretty accurate metering.

I am a bit curious on your remark on the M4/3 high iso better than NX3000. I have a EPL5 and I can't agree on that, Olympus cheats on high ISO worst being EM10 where actual iso 1600 = 851.

I agree--Samsung's 20MP sensors have higher low ISO performance than m4/3, as shown on DxO Mark. I don't know why you think they perform worse than micro 4/3rds--that's not true.  Same for DR.

Here's an example for NX300, which is on par with NX3000:

(it does better than Canon's crop sensors too).
