NX1 is on top but I have ordered ...NX30...

And my copy is in my hand.

Yesterday I did FW upgrades for body and lenses and did some trials.

First impressions:

White 16/2,4 looks grat with black body:)

I changed lenses few times and camera caught a small piece of dust, I switched on sensor cleaning - dust vanished after some cykles.

Fortunately both kit lens and pancake are razor sharp no decentering issue.

I tried some sport action photos in the evening on high ISO (50-200 is slow) but on FW 1.1 and when the shutter time was short enough AF worked well.

In comparison to NX10 first not good impression was... evf - I thought it will be much better than it is. This evf seems blurred and small it is difficult even to evaluate the picture sharpness.

Optional LVF2 I have to Panasonic LX7/GX1 is much better.

NX10's EVF 5 years ago was not bad!

What is better? AF speed in darker conditions after 1.31 FW upgrading works very fast - similar to daylight conditions!

Manual focusing much much better - 5x-8x magnifying together with focus peaking.

jpg quality quite OK of course better than NX10 but 1 picture takes ca 10 MB!

It is 50% of srw!

But compression sometimes is high I discovered issues on trial bulb picture - shadowing was not OK (color borders visible)- for sunsets etc can be necessary to use raw.

NX30 body is much bigger than NX10 -I liked NX10 size a lot.

OK grip is OK more convenient for tele using but with pancace camera is not so compact as NX10 was.

One good point I observed is very bright pictures.

It means ISO of NX30 does not equal many other cameras

Usualy NX30 needs lower ISO than competition (or older NX10 maybe NX20) or it will be possible to use EV correction -1 for action shots where shutter time is important.

In general very good deal there is not camera on such level in such price.

I stilll have money for next lenses or maybe an NX20 second hand as a second body for pancakes only.

Pancakes are the reason to keep NX.
