I agree with all of the above.

Also, the last picture is pretty much all the kit lens can do at 50mm 5.6. You need to stop it down more (you had the light). I now have 2 copies of the lens and it's just all it can do at 50mm. The more towards 16mm, the better.

Edit" I see the first pic is also at 50mm. Same reason for the bluriness.

Well, if you really can confirm that it's not an technical issue, that is quite a deception. I own a olympus e410 with kit lens (which costed in its time 1000€ less than the NX kit), which never let me down with results like these. And considering that the 30mm has its quirks as well... I understand that a more 'pro' cam is more challenging to the photographer than a entry level one, but it should at least deliver comparable results under comparable settings.
I also made some comparisons between the nex with the 1.8 50mm and the nx1 with the 16-50 S lens (night at a fun fair). Here again, I find the nex delivering more constant results, often less noise in raw, more accurate to the scene and desired focus area, and seems just more reliable to me. Only by zooming in to max, you'll see that the NX has a more detailed resolution in the fine textures.
