NX30 or DSLR?

Re: NX30 or DSLR?

Another alternative would be if you could find a cheap NX20 for now, then wait for the price to drop on the NX1 or the NX50 to be released. I'm not sure what the second hand market is like there, but the NX20 should already have lost most of its value, you might even be able to buy it now and re-sell it later without losing much money.

(The sensor and general IQ are the same as the NX30, but the buffer and general performance is worse. The EVF is also worse and doesn't tilt.)

Personally I really like the NX30, and I don't think I could go a year without an EVF. I don't much care about the quality of the EVF (I was fine with the one from the NX10!), I just need it for framing properly in strong sun. The NX30 EVF is more than adequate for my needs.

But then is it worth waiting for the new sensor? Decisions decisions!
