Thanks for sharing. The nx line is awesome for what it has. I just wanted to make one small correction. You brought into the system after samsung unofficially exited the camera market.

Correct. However, since I'm in Europe, and Samsung officially made a statement in late Nov '15 in Germany and other countries to exit the local market, and being a high-tech veteran, the writing was on the wall. It's unsustainable to maintain a high cost, high performance R&D team and limit the market to "only" a few countries, even for such huge markets like the US.

It so happened that I ran into a dealership in Switzerland late Dec and was able to negotiate a good price for a complete system (NX1 Body, Battery Grip, both F2.8 Zoom "Pro" lenses). No complaints, it was an "informed" decision. I'm using a variety of systems, DSLR and Mirroless, and the NX1 system has some advantages. However, the AF is still not one of them, even in V1.4, at least not for "Sports".
