My cool new NX3000..........
1

...........with a 16-50 lens and flash at $319 is one of the better steals out there along with the Fuji XA1 and the Canon EOSM.

Of course it`s not appealing to the pro wannabees on these forums for it`s lack of direct access buttons but it`s as good a camera and lens kit / combo as the Fuji XA1/2 and the Canon EOSM`s. I`d have to believe that's all it was meant to compete against.

Oh, it`s got it`s share of foibles such as no wall charger included , and having to recharge it in camera via USB, the small micro sd card, and no built in flash. That said, the battery lasts so much longer than the others and needs less recharging , the small storage cards are dirt cheap, and the flash is rarely needed since the high ISO`s are among the best of any camera. BTW,I was utterly surprised at how tiny external flash is. It could easily fit in my jeans watch pocket.

I`ve owned all the above cameras and I have to say that each are very good performers in spite of their particular strengths and weaknesses . At the entry level / lower price range the user will have to accept whatever weakness or faults and get on with his picture taking or spend a lot more money to get little to no improvement in IQ.
