Late, Outdated, yet still "Relevant..."

Re: Late, Outdated, yet still "Relevant..."

Agree NX30 is a good camera and I'll probably never sell it. On mine the battery door was broken but I managed to fix it and the top wheel is skipping but it's a minor inconvenience. What I use it for is to take video mostly since it never overheats like smaller cameras and being able to charge while shoot with a powerbank. I use Rokinon 12mm f2 for video and use hyperfocal for focus. One limitation is the highest ISO available for video is 3200, which limits the low light shooting a bit. Wish I could've use all ISO upto 25600, then it would have been an amazing low light shooter.

Another pet peeve is the onboard mic and sound quality. Usually there is a gain changes and hiss but I found out setting the mic in manual and highest sensitivity records best with lowest hiss, if anyone is using it for video.
