Hi guys. I've been posting here and there asking plenty questions lol. So i apologise in advance. my current setup is two nikon v1s and some lenses. Great for good lighting conditions. Huge buffer for continuous shooting. But in low light conditons, it's unusable at 6400 iso which is the max.

I've ordered a konica hexanon 50mm f/1.4 on impulse, then realising it becomes 135mm equivalent on v1

So now im looking for aspc camera to play around with that konica lens, especially for low light conditions. I stumbled at nx2000 with 20-50mm for $200 new. A used canon eos m (body only) is about $150. Nex3 body is almost $150.

Should i go for nx2000? Is it better at high iso? Is it simple to use focus peaking?

Overall the NX2000 is just gonna be the better camera (unless you're trying for video, the EOS has it beat there with a mic jack). Plus, it's coming with a kit lens.

I'd jump on it based on those factors alone.
