Re: NX100 with 18-55 worth a $100 USA?

I use the NX100 (and NX10, basically the same with EVF and flash) and find it great for most things. Sure autofocus is slow compared to the new fancy models, and dynamic range is less and high ISO worse but it's still great. My flickr and 500px are pretty much all taken with one of those models.

But not sure it's worth it for the 18-55. If you want to get the NX500 that will probably come bundled with the new power zoom which is highly rated. The NX500 might not even be sold as body only. Also, there's been a few versions of the 18-55 so you'd want to check which it is to make sure you get the best model (I don't actually have the 18-55 so can't comment which is best).

If I was you I'd see if there are any really cheap NX1000s going. That's the next sensor generation so quite an upgrade. Here on UK eBay there are some NX1000s for less than £125 second hand, although I know that is quite a bit more than you stated for the NX100 you're looking at, it's still a good deal.
