Re: about to buy nx2000. good decision?

If you're mainly using it for legacy lenses, you might want to choose something that has more to offer for manual focusing.

Other cameras offer touch-screen magnification or at least you can move the magnified area to check focus. this is not possible on Samsung NX cameras. You'll have to trust focus peaking or focus and recompose.

Sony are OK, especially the few ones with touchscreen. The 5N/R/T were excellent cameras for manual focusing. Panasonic or Olympus should also be perfectly fine, if you can live with the 2x crop factor (actually, for a 50mm lens the 1.5x factor isn't perfect anyway... actually I'd prefer 135mm eq FL over 75mm anyway, but that's just me ).
