I have a chance to buy a used NX300 which I find interesting since it supports the Samsung EM10 external microphone. Two questions maybe someone could help me with.
1) Is the image quality of the NX300 substantially different than the NX3000? I know the NX300 has PDAF and 1080p at 60fps.
2) The big feature for me is the support of the Samsung EM10 external microphone. However this does not seem to be available on the used marked. I checked all the usual places. Ebay, amazon. Am I missing something? Does anyone have one they wish to part with?
Thanks
Here I go again... The Em10 is excelent, but both the Nx300/Nx3000 ruin audio, because of the AGC - Automatic Gain Control. There is no manual audio levels on any of both cameras. The EM10 is a trap... becarefull... Trust me, I've got the EM10, so I know what I'm saying... the AGC change audio levels abruptly... Is the worst thing I've seen until Trump got elected ... The only camera that has a good AGC is the NX500, despite not having manual audio levels, but guess what, the EM10 doesn't work on the NX500, so forget it.... after Samsung had finally solved the AGC ability to ruin audio on their NX cameras, with their last NX camera, the NX500, they made the EM10 not compatible with it, WHY?!?!?? Because they are nuts, that's why.... You are just wasting money. Mine is boxed... now, if there was a way of disabling the DAMN AGC.... I hate him, oh!!! MY god... I realy hate that guy LOL
Anyway, the AF of the NX300 is much better, than the AF of the Nx3000 for video...
Thanks for posting your experiences with the EM10. It's pretty sad samsung didn't continue with it and support it on the NX500. Samsung could have easily went to a 2-3 year upgrade cycle their products were so ahead of the competition
Since I cleaned up the microphone on my NX3000 I'm happy with the audio for my purposes. Maybe since I'm using it indoors in a static environment the AGC doesn't have to work so hard.
Still I'm thinking that the GoPro Hero 6 is a good match for me. For $350 + trade in (an old Fuji F20) it seems like a good deal.
The AGC acts harshly if you don't have any background noise, like if you are recording at home, etc. But is still realy bad. I had a Panasonic camcorder where the AGC worked flawless...
