Buffer size comparison - NX20 - NX300 - NX30 - NX500

Could someone please arrange these cameras according to RAW buffer size capacity? There isn't much info especially of NX30s buffer size, they all say it's better than NX300 but fail to give any specifics.

Also read somewhere that NX20 had bigger buffer than NX300.

Apologies if it's been asked before.

From what I remember nx30 has 12 raws, nx300 5, nx500 5-6 and nx200 8. No idea about nx20. These raws are different in size, nx200 is largest, so in actual buffer size it's probably the biggest.

Regarding buffer size for NX20, I was reading a review of it here: www.photographyblog.com/reviews/samsung_nx20_review/

And in the comments section a person wrote "Samsung released an firmware update (1.0 (I realy don’t know why its also cllaed 1.0 like the old one)) which provides a much faster writing/safing time for JPEG + RAW. Before the Update it took to save for round about ten pictures up to 28 seconds (RAW * JPEG super fine). Now, with the new firmware, it only takes 12 seconds! This is really a great increase!!!"

In the review of the NX30 they do state "Happily Samsung have also addressed some of the performance concerns that we noted when reviewing the NX20, with a much larger buffer for continuous shooting and generally all-round quicker performance."

Apparently the buffer in the nx20 isn't so big.
