Sad but I have to let go NX30 system. How about an alternative?

Like Ben is saying, buy Fuji...

Buy the X-A7

Look what this camera can do with its kit lens. Look what you can do for 700$ out of the box... it is crazy

X-A7 looks very good. However, I like X-T30 more.

Perhaps in next year I'll acquire the X-A7 as second camera.

Thanks for reading.

For me I am still looking for a good camera for video, that has a selfie LCD. I have two big concerns with the X-A7, which are the AF performance, which seems very poor, despite what they predict, and also the audio quality. Although the camera has a mic input there seems to be a terrible audio hiss, like the Samsung Nx30 did, due to bad pre-amps, or the AGC.

What I don't understand is this. Is the camera already on sale? If so, why is no DP review yet? I mean, the Sony A6100 was already reviewed by Dpreview. Also, there are a lot of videos about the camera from Asian countries, but very few from american youtubers, or european ones. Although Asian youtubers review the camera as great, the AF from their videos seems very bad and also the audio... So I don't get it?!?!? what's the problem with Fuji!?!?? What is the problem with this particular model?!!?

I was looking for a camera that:

1) Focuses significantly better than NX500 in low-light conditions

2) Makes videos without any AF sound (suitable lens)

3) Allows mic input.

4) Has at least tilting screen.

I ended up with Sony a68 + Sony 16-50mm f/2.8 SSM lens + Røde external mic. There are trade-offs: 1) little manual controls in video and 2) fastest aperture is f/3.5 in video. For my use, which is not professional (home videos)--it is fine. For better results, I might need to get the newer Sony or Fujifilm MILCs.

As for XA7, after your posts, I did looked into it and it does look like a very interesting camera. Not something I'll buy right now though.

But the Sony A68, doesn't do 4K video, does it? Also the screen tilts downwards...

No, it doesn't do 4k and the screen is not fully articulating either (tilts 135 degrees up and 55 degrees down). It is fine for my use, but could be a deal breaker for others
