Yes, I believe only the NX500 is better. Of course if you want a VF then it's NX30 or NX1.

Does it come with a lens?

CEX are currently selling a body only NX300 for £115. It's 'B' grade but I've had 'B' grade from them that are in excellent condition so I presume they drop the grade if it is considered an incomplete kit.

Hi Norman,

Yes comes with 18-55mm lens. Light rooms 4 and everything else you'd expect.

The biggest differences I recall are: NX300 has faster AF, a touch screen, and uses SD vs. microSD.

Thanks wpstl. Apart from battery life everything seems to be a bit better.

The NX300 can record FullHD at 60fps, the NX3000 can only do 30fps.

NX3000's video codec is said to be better than NX300's. I used to own a NX300, excellent photo camera, but the video was just terrible.

oooh Thats a bit of an issue but not a deal breaker. I have 4K recording on my Huawei P9 which does an admiral job. i mainly use the camera for photos anyway
