Great Camera - Got rid of my SLR

I have carried large cameras for most of my life. Now I have a smaller camera with excellent picture quality and exceptional features. Purchased the 20mm lens and leave it on the camera at night. Great low light pictures. I use the 50-200mm lens in the mountains snowboarding, skiing and hiking as well oh hikes and at the beach.
Only thing i miss is a viewfinder. I can track much faster with it especially with the long lens.
Only con is I have memory issues. Hopefully when I get the camera back from service that will be resolved.
I haven't had the camera long so I am just getting use to it. Love it so far. Two things I would like to see is anti-shake and longer battery life. When it is in auto mode it keeps focusing which uses a lot of battery. Takes great pictures. I would like to write another review once I have more time with it.
Started out with a point and shoot and spent years moving up the DSLR range. Recently sold all my equipment and instead of moving up, moved over to the NX2000. I take nature and wildlife photos and was nervous about not having a viewfinder but spent a day out in bright sunlight and had no problems. The action wildlife shots I take require me to have camera in hand with little room or time for a tripod. This camera is so light that even after several hours I was not tired of holding it. I do miss my larger (300+mm) lens. Hint Hint...but overall I am glad I made this move. Now, go take some pictures!
We shopped the SLR cameras first but a salesman informed us of the NX2000 and the more he talked the better it sounded. You can run the camera fully manual all the way to fully auto, which other cameras will also do. But what I have found is the real reason to get a Samsung are the preset exposure modes. After getting used to all the functions of this camera that is what I truly find is why I am so happy I got the NX2000. Select an exposure mode that fits what you are shooting and the shots you get are superb. I also have a Samsung Galaxy cell phone so I have the pictures automatically sent to the cell phone where the phone sends them off to my online site I have set up. My pictures are available online minutes after I shoot them. Oh there are more things to like, but I think the above reasons are my favorites. Get the 20-50 mm and 50-200 mm lens package and you will thank yourself. Then you will still want to pick up a wide angle later, and I need a telescope adapter soon too I think.
Camera is making great pics. Quality is amazing. Only problem I had it with is the flash. It came with the camera but its not working.
I changed all possible options on the camera and the flash just wont discharge.
Called the warranty department and as of now I'm waiting for a new one.
Price for this one is pretty good considering that you are getting 1Y warranty from Samsung.
Pros: Inexpensive, Realistic color, Lightweight
Cons: broken flash
I would recommend this to a friend!

Good Image quality but cheap plastic material

This camera is great. 20-50 mm lens is not bad for a kit lens. Image quality is good at either daylight or night. But material of camera and lens is cheap.
