On the B&H website for their 3rd party Watson batteries (BP1410), towards the bottom of that product page it says that this battery fits the NX30, NX300, and WB2200F. I thought that was odd. Here's the link to that battery - look towards the bottom.

That's error in spec. BP1130 is wider (i.e. has more depth) and it is not possible to put it into NX30. I have NX500 and NX30 now in front of me.

Having said that, NX30 is very nice camera. Fully articulated screen (very high quality, great colors and visibility in bright light) and possibility to extend EVF are advantages of NX30. I actually like NX30 grip better than NX1 grip. NX1 has more botton/wheels but NX30 has all that are needed in just the right places. it is also very light and IQ at low ISO is very good (I like samsung output and I think NX30 colors are a bit better than NX1, even if they both similar; NX30 has best colors of all samsung camaeras I woned, maybe except NX100 blues and reds). However NX1 is so much better continous / tracking AF that there is no comparison. Single AF - different story. NX30 is almost as fast with S glass and I think better with lesnes like 30mm. Also qialuty of the EVF is much much much better on Nx1 (Nx30 is medicore in that regard, maybe even poor - I was using screen a lot, while with NX1 I love using EVF).

Anyway, there is a lot to like about NX30 and for thai price Id' encourage you to buy it. I'm not selling mine.
