The NX300 quality is impressive!

I am impressed by the image quality of the NX300, here some shots showing what it's capable of

Also 16-50 kit lens is stunning

(Freelensing images were made with detached nikon 50)

This was shot hand held at 1/13!! Amazing stabilization

I like your style: very atmospheric dream-like renditions.  I agree, NX300 is a very capable camera.

Freelensing means that you hold lens in front of camera body without attaching it - you get effect akin to tilt & shift / macro tubes + light leaks.

I have had bad experience with debris sticking to camera sensor during changing lens outdoors (The sensor required wet cleansing.), thus I'd recommend to be extremely careful using this technique.

Do you mean the 16-50PZ or the new S-glass?  I don't see any shots below f/3.5 so I assume it's the PZ.  I own both a 20-50 and an 18-55 for my nx300 so I think I'll say no to another.. but it's a very tempting little lens!

First I've heard of freelensing, I'll give it a try.  The closest I've come is to use the lid that comes with to-go coffee (the tall opaque one with a hole in the center) for somewhat similar results.

...but that's alright, 'cause we don't mind at all.  The images are absolutely lovely, although I'd never try the free-lensing scenario as I'm too sensitive and careful about getting crude on the sensor.

I can strongly attest to the quality of the 16-50 PZ lens.  This one zoom lens has been such a surprise to me.  It rivals in IQ zoom lenses that cost upwards of 3-4 times it's cost.  The PZ has that special "wow" quality that causes images to just pop, allowing the viewer to look right into the scene.  It is, IMO, the finest kit lens of its type among all the brands, although I recently found the Panasonic 12-32 (equivalent to a 24-64 MM zoom) to be really sharp also (my copy, that is) - which I keep on the Olympus E-PL7.

The 16-50 PZ lens is the ideal lens - in weight, size, and appearance - on the likes of the NX2000, NX300, and NX300.  But I really am hesitant about wanting to call this a "kit lens" because it's performance levels are all representative of a much more expensive offering.  The lens looks a bit odd (again, IMO) on the likes of the more DSLR-appearing NX10, 20, and 30 cameras, where more traditional looking lenses seem to look better together.  But that's just my opinion.

do you using filter on the lens?

Thanks to everyone

The lens is the PZ kit one, incredibly small and with an amazing stabilization

i didnt use filters on the lens

Now that i felt in love with the camera i am thinking of buying one prime lens for portraits, which do u think is better quality between the 30 f2 or the 45 1.8 (not 3d)?
