Kudos Samsung but...

Reliability is such a pita for any manufacturer, it just boils down to luck. I've had zero reliably issues with D300 and 18-200mm, 50/1.4, 24-70 and (shortly owned) 70-200/2.8, but my coworker had a ridiculous ride that included bonkers D90, then two tamron "pro" lenses, then D600, got feed up with it, sold it and bought D800 that would focus. Maybe. Sometimes. Eventually it got fixed, but he's shooting canon now. Someone else probably went the other way around.

The catch is, if you're worrying about equipment you're not having fun shooting, and that's just wrong.

I suggest you sell off the stuff it makes sense to sell but keep nx300 (it's quite cheap anyway) and 45 or swap it for 30 to have something pocketable and carry anywhere.

Best of luck either way.
