Having been reading up on most cameras since the release of the Nikon D90 on dpreview.com I finally thought the NX10/NX11 was my perfect camera. And having it for a week now I'm pretty pleased with it.
I've been following all the Nikon models D90 / D3000 / D3100 and the Canon Rebel line as well as all the Micro Four-Thirds cameras and the Sony NEX-3/5. I've read reviews and comments and looked at all the sample images.
I've considered the availability (and reviews) of lenses, weight/size of camera, image quality and video.
The NEX-5, Olympus PL2, Nikon D3100 and the Samsung NX10/NX11/NX100 were all on my short list. I finally settled on the NX10.
The NX10 :
The Pros:
Great image quality, although not quite the ISO range as some other cameras.
Very good built-in flash
Small and light with a solid construction
Very easy user-interface
large sensor size (APS-C , better than all Micro Four-Thirds)
The Cons:
Video is not 1024p (only 720p)
Very few lenses still (the ones that they do have are great though, and more are coming)
Incorrect Assumptions: (about the NX10)
It DOES support an optional external GPS
It DOES support the iFunction lenses (after a firmware upgrade).
Based on the fact that I could really not see the difference between the NX10 and NX11 and the low cost of the NX10 at the moment, I decided to buy an NX10. So far both I and another person (with a Nikon D90) took photos of the same event and had opportunity to compare... and I am pleased to say my photos were a lot better looking (with no post-processing done to either).
I love the Samsung Pancake 20mm lens (with iFunction) and is a good addition to the standard (non-iFunction) IOS lens that this shipped with.
