Re: about to buy nx2000. good decision?

I'd agree that buying NX2000 would be a good decision:

  • NX2000 has a very large display, which helps focussing in manual mode. However, this comes at a cost - there are very few manual knobs & buttons, you'll have to rely on the touchscreen for control.
  • You can enable x5/x8 magnification of the central area in parallel to focus peaking. However, you can't move the magnified area around the frame.
  • 20-50mm kit lens is nice (especially at the wider end), although it is noisy, slower to focus than most NX lenses and requires manual unfolding from the transport position. The front element rotates when focussing. It would be a good addition to the manual lens once you'd want to shoot at a wider angles.
  • Sensor-wise, NX2000 has the best low-light sensitivity and dynamic range among the 3 cameras (At least according to DxOMark.).
