Beware of non-USA NX3000s sold in US

Near the end of July, 2015, I purchased the camera kit online from a US supplier, but received a kit intended for sale in the UK. Exercise caution buying this camera in the US as it may contain an AC adapter for use in the UK.

Samsung in the US and the UK have been thoroughly non-cooperative about resolving the problem—dumping the issue on the online seller and third-party seller of the closed box and new kit. It's apparent that Samsung mistakenly had the kit shipped to the US instead of the UK.

The camera, lens, and other pieces in the kit seemed to be fine during the two weeks I had it.

Although I'm not familiar with an "S" version, that does seem a shame - certainly I'm loving mine!

However, with the standard NX3000 at least using one of Samsung's mbile phone batteries, for some $30 you could probably have replaced the whole power setup, and added a useful second battery, if you'd wanted to.... with:

...and...

Too late now, I guess - so what did you get instead?
