Thanks, I thought VAT will still apply. In any case that bundle above is listed at £2120.

no VAT, custom charges higher than airline ticket to Stavanger -- NX1 is not an upgrade to the NX500, it's a different 8-bit camera (for video) -- in 2021, £2K for 10-bit video ...

Just been on the phone with hmrc (they are also none the wiser) and also researched on their website. It appears that VAT is still applied and 0 custom charges. I don't know what to think anymore.

Oh.. that package was a huge bundle deal for £2k not just the body, but yeah I agree with you, I've decided to spend less, get less and enjoy more. NX1 doesn't have crop which is an upgrade from nx500, plus the evf.

How about USA guys? HMRC says only VAT is applied with 0 custom tax for digital cameras. Can someone confirm?

There are quite a few upgrades in my opinion. No crop plus EVF as you've stated, but also DIS, 15fps, Gamma C/DR, 100/120FPS 1080p, built-in flash, 5ghz wifi, USB 3.0, support for faster memory cards..maybe I've missed some?

Having said that the NX500 is great and I'd recommend hacking it for unlimited recording time, and no crop 2k video.
