Galaxy NX - Shutter lag

How is the shutter lag of Galaxy NX compared to NX300?

The reviews were very mixed about the shutter lag (to be clear - the delay between pressing the shutter button and actual photo being taken). Was it perhaps rectified with firmware updates? I could leave with long startup/wakeup times, small buffer etc., but the ability to take a shot at the perfect moment is very important to me.

Another question - does the green vignetting with dumb lenses occur with Galaxy NX (as with NX300/NX30/NX300M/...)?

I understand that this is an abandonded product now, but the clearance price is very tempting and I could definitely use its large screen and Android capabilities!

Hi

For the green cast with legacy glass I guess using the "undo lens while camera is on then redo it" should work like with the nx30.
No more problems for me on the NX30. So if the Galaxy uses the same antivignetting as other nx cameras you will be OK

Cheers
Jay

Re: Galaxy NX - Shutter lag

I have never had a problem, the wake up time is a pain if you let it shutdown after 2 mins. I have shot pretty much everthing with it . Its a great deal. I love how connected you are with the android element . I have some posts with my time with the GNX

Re: Galaxy NX - Shutter lag

I bought mine a week ago so haven't used in extensively but, so far,  I find only the initial startup to be slow. But it's relative; you are booting a 16GB Android tablet, not an ordinary camera.
