A question about nx1000?

Q1:I found this camera very bargain at price of around 150$ brand new.I'm thinking to getting 45mm f1.8 lens.Will it work on nx1000?

Q2:Even if i bought camera now i wont be able to buy lens before 1 month.Is its stock lens good enough.If it is good enough i will wait more and get a better lens.

Thanks for your help

All NX lenses will work on NX1000 (including 45mm).

If the kit lens is 20-50mm (there are at least 3 different kit lenses but all are good) it's quite sharp at the wide end (much better than typical kit lens) and ok at the Tele end (50mm). I like the colors it produces and overall image quality (FWIW, for me it's better than canon 18-55mm). It's also compact and will fit in the coat/jacket pocket on nx1000.

Downsides are slow auto focus (but nx1000 is not fast in AF with any lens) and no OIS.

45mm is a very nice portrait lens and you will be very happy with it.

I have the nx1000 and the 45mm and it works great.

The nx1000 is an amazing camera a bit on the slow side but it gets the job done.

The 45mm 2D lens will work but as far as I know the nx1000 is incompatible with the 3D version, so I wouldn't bother paying more for that version of it.

I should clarify the 2D/3D lens will still work in 2D with the nx1000

The kit lens works fine on the camera.

One thing i found is the smart setting is absolutely crap always gives you long shutter speed producing blurry photos.

Useing manual/A/S/M where you control the shutter speeds will give amazing results.

Here is a sample photo I just did with the NX1000+Kit Lens 20-50mm.

Focal point is the word Samsung on the nx1.

I did a compare for you.

Camera: NX1000

Lens: Samsung Kit lens 20-50mm and 45mm prime

Kit Lens 20-50mm

Samsung NX 45mm Prime

The Kit lens surprised me! guess ill have to put it back in the camera bag from its long slumber on a dusty old shelf.

hope this was helpful.
