NX30 worth fixing or buy a 45mm/50-200mm?

EBay seems quite sparse in terms of nx kit at the moment. All I can see is loads of nx 3000s or 1000s but no nx1s. I wonder if now is the ideal time to be selling?

Sakis was referring to an NX45mm lens, not NX cameras. There are plenty of NX300, and still competitive with entry level mirrorless with amazing touch screen capabilities, AMOLED screen, and ok 20megapixel APS-C sensor (some still offer 16mgpxls ones), and you can have one for 150euros + extras.

Ideal time to sell, and buying what? and in what cost?

Fuji is still behind in most things compared to NX1/NX500 (especially if you have all the lenses you need on NX, and the 16-50S and fish eye are 2 of your top 3 NX lenses, which Fuji doesn't offer). You still have to use the battery grip for headphone out(?!) and more than 15 minutes of video on the Fuji's..Battery life is laughable.

Nikon/Canon do not offer yet a pro mirrorless option (Nikon doesn't even offer a mirrorless option) and Canon has a 22mm pancake (while you have as many as 4 in NX), and a few kit zooms. Sony doesn't offer a PRO APS-C body, but for most people the a6300/a6500 can be an amazing hobby camera (I am not most people). dSLR is out of the question for me, no need for mechanical mirrors and the such, and there are the GH5/GH5s offering great value but not truly great hybrids (NX1 is decidedly far better in the photo section of the hybrid, and the cameras are MUCH bigger and MUCH heavier, even from most moderns dSLRs).

So, yes, sell. And buy what? and what if the camera you really want, is the new Nikon mirrorless scheduled (rumors) for Q1 2019? and what if that Nikon costs 3500euros, and it isn't that amazing after all? The newest Canon mirrorless cost the same and have a similar crop like a NX500, but 3 years later, and with worst AF in 4K!

There are many people (like me) that buying the cameras they want, to use them, not to resell for "profit" or as an investment (cameras are not gold, or properties, the time you put it out of its box, it has lost value, immediately).

At the moment, I am 100% sure that I do not see a clear NX system replacement. Do not sell, and use, saves you more money than resell in the first chance possible, then buy into another system, then resell, then buy another system e.t.c
