I haven't had any quality issues with any of my kit - maybe I was lucky, or maybe the poster here was unlucky. Perhaps other users will chime in with their experiences.

For the last almost seven years I have used 17 different NX lenses/cameras. The only real issues I have encountered are with the NX10 and NX300. For some reason the NX10 after it wanted to take a dip in the Coral Sea and a nice drying out only worked for six more months. And the NX300 after it decided to drop onto pavement right on the corner where the battery door is, breaking it. The lcd refused to work also, after investigating that further the lcd, I believe, was fine, it was just not receiving a signal. The amazing thing is it still took great photos, but I was flying blind with the framing, settings etc. The NX500 had been out for a while and I was going to wait another 6 months to get it. But, a wonderful deal came up, so I switched.

I can't believe these two cameras treated me with such disregard.
