Re: NX1 vs NX30

It's a little early to say "attention it deserves".  Let's see how the reviews go (user reviews too not just professional ones) and how Samsung supports it over time.  They are usually really good at firmware updates.

It will be NX1 for me!

I just bought the NX30 a month ago (when my NX20 got wet and died) and I do like it but I have been anxiously waiting for the arrival of the NX1 and LOVE everything I see.

Wasn't sure after watching the video if the NX1 also has the "tiltable EVF" - it is a feature on the NX30 which I REALLY like.

Congratulations Samsung! I hope this camera gets the attention it deserves.

Wow - the NX1 looks great. However, for a casual photographer like myself, I would rather save the $1000 (based on $599 price with 18-55 at Adorama) and buy the NX30 with all the lenses I will ever need versus spending the money on the NX1. For someone more serious, the NX1 looks great and is actually not overpriced like the Galaxy NX was.

I see both having their place in the Samsung lineup and do not overlap at all. Samsung should gain some market share with this one.

You can't compare street price after almost a year with an announcement price. The NX30 had a MSRP of US-$ 999.99, so the difference in retail should be smaller after a while. Which makes the NX1 look really tempting for sure!

I am happy with the NX30 though, so I think I can't justify an upgrade all too soon. After all I am using single shot mode and 720p video on the NX30... I am all over that AF-on button on the NX1 though, I love that on Canon and was writing that on my Samsung wishlist for years now!

What I would like to see though is a direct comparison of the body size of NX30 and NX1 side to side... anyone got a link for that?
