As an avid multi-brand camera user...

I can definitely agree with your OP.  I enjoy shooting with a variety of brands and up until 3-4 years ago, I always discounted the NX line of cameras.  After all, I thought, Samsung was for appliances and TV sets - not serious cameras...sigh.

But the lure of a great deal on both the enthusiast EX2F, and an NX300 kit made me jump into the fray - and I'm very glad that I did.  As a result, the NX system was added to my list of wonderful photographic toys.  I love the ergonomics of the likes of the NX300, NX30, and NX500 and they are staying in my collection until they go "kaput."

The NX300 has pleasantly surprised me with its gorgeous color tonality and its high definition files really stand out of the crowd (for those properly taken and expertedly PP'd).  I don't shoot in JPG mode - only RAW - and I've been able to coax some wonderful files from those conversions.  Now, I personally don't share your admiration for the high ISO capabilities of the NX300, other than the fact that I keep that camera handy for ISO 2500 and below.  Now the NX500 bests it in that arena - by a long time (IMO, that is).

That evening lake shot you provided us is wonderful - it evokes feeling of calm and peace (something that we all need now-a-days).  Sh_t - now I'm miffed again at Samsung for depriving us of their future R&D within the NX line!!!!!!
