Re: Rented the NX1

I don't know about BF deals, but NX1 price seems to fluctuate quite a bit week to week in the US. It was $1200 few weeks ago and then last week it jumped to $1500 before coming back down to $1200 this week. Adorama and B&H also have a 4% reward deal. That's $48 credit you can use later.

Regarding ISO noise, NX1 at 28MP has smaller pixels than NX20 at 20MP so pixel to pixel comparison is not quite fair to NX1 (if that's what you were doing). DXO rates NX1's ISO performance at 1363 and NX20 at 785. That's about 0.8 stops (quite noticeable) in favor of NX1 for same size prints. Per pixel basis, it should be log2(1363/785*20/28) = 0.3 stops in favor of NX1 which is not as noticeable.
