about to buy nx2000. good decision?

Hi guys. I've been posting here and there asking plenty questions lol. So i apologise in advance.  my current setup is two nikon v1s and some lenses. Great for good lighting conditions. Huge buffer for continuous shooting. But in low light conditons, it's unusable at 6400 iso which is the max.

I've ordered a konica hexanon 50mm f/1.4 on impulse, then realising it becomes 135mm equivalent on v1

So now im looking for aspc camera to play around with that konica lens, especially for low light conditions. I stumbled at nx2000 with 20-50mm for $200 new. A used canon eos m (body only) is about $150. Nex3 body is almost $150.

Should i go for nx2000? Is it better at high iso? Is it simple to use focus peaking?

Overall the NX2000 is just gonna be the better camera (unless you're trying for video, the EOS has it beat there with a mic jack). Plus, it's coming with a kit lens.

I'd jump on it based on those factors alone.

If you're mainly using it for legacy lenses, you might want to choose something that has more to offer for manual focusing.

Other cameras offer touch-screen magnification or at least you can move the magnified area to check focus. this is not possible on Samsung NX cameras. You'll have to trust focus peaking or focus and recompose.

Sony are OK, especially the few ones with touchscreen. The 5N/R/T were excellent cameras for manual focusing. Panasonic or Olympus should also be perfectly fine, if you can live with the 2x crop factor (actually, for a 50mm lens the 1.5x factor isn't perfect anyway... actually I'd prefer 135mm eq FL over 75mm anyway, but that's just me ).

I'd agree that buying NX2000 would be a good decision:

• NX2000 has a very large display, which helps focussing in manual mode. However, this comes at a cost - there are very few manual knobs & buttons, you'll have to rely on the touchscreen for control.
• You can enable x5/x8 magnification of the central area in parallel to focus peaking. However, you can't move the magnified area around the frame.
• 20-50mm kit lens is nice (especially at the wider end), although it is noisy, slower to focus than most NX lenses and requires manual unfolding from the transport position. The front element rotates when focussing. It would be a good addition to the manual lens once you'd want to shoot at a wider angles.
• Sensor-wise, NX2000 has the best low-light sensitivity and dynamic range among the 3 cameras (At least according to DxOMark.).

Buy? I will never buy any Samsung product in my life, only if they pay to me, then I'll take the money and throw away Samsung (or sell it on ebay).

So you own the camera? But in your above statement, you said you would never buy one? So, how did you get it?

Seems your soul purpose of being here is to publically detest Samsung products and advise people not to get them. Got it . Troll confirmed. Move along.

I've got NX100, then NX20, then NX500, then NX Mini and a multiple lenses. I also had Samsung phones, microwave, TV. Then Samsung pulled out of the camera market. I decided to boycott Samsung products since then. Clear?

Selling any off?

I can sell you NX mini + standard zoom, NX-M adapter, NX100, NX100 EVF, Galaxy K zoom, Galaxy Note 3. Interested?

well, you can. "too little, too late"

The NX200/210/20 and also NX30 were "just ok" when they were released. Nothing to write home about. As good as others? Yes. Cheaper? Depending on if you ignore the MSRP: definitely yes. Standing out of the crowd? Nope. And that is what matters quite a bit. If you want to sell, you have to convince your customers that your product is what they really want. Just being as good as others while being a bit cheaper does not cut it.

The majority if people buys stuff because they like it, not because it's good value for money.

The NX1 was a good step into the right direction, but at that point in time it was already too late.

Have you seen the UFS announcements?  If Samsung kept going with NX that would almost certainly have been in the next high end model allowing for some serious continuous shooting.

thanks all. I did buy it. I chose it over a used eos m for the 1 year warranty, and apparently better high ISO output. for $200 it's a pretty good deal I guess.
