That camera is amazing, isn't it!!!

We tend to often become soooo damn overly picky with regards to camera performance, that we seemingly just can't wait for that next new release.  But with older cameras such as the NX300, one comes to realize just how wonderful this model really was (and still is).   It's a unique camera for a number of reasons - mainly, the ergonomics are sublime as the camera just slides into a proper grip the way this camera renders colors are both dynamic and sublime (my favorite scenic camera).  Yes, I realize the NX500 improves upon that, but still - when you pick up the NX300, it just feels right and that's why I haven't parted with mine.

And BTW, you have some nice pics there that serve as a reminder that the "next best and greatest" thing may not necessarily be a game changer.  As I often do for certain great performing cameras, I recommend that folks check eBay and look for NX300 cameras as the 20 MP's from that camera are some of the finest on the market.  BTW, here's an eBay link to the current NX300 cameras for sale (and there are still new ones on there:
