In US price of Samsung NX20 kit is identical to Olympus O-MD E-M5. That's vary brave move. I hope Sasung have tweaked the jpegs/high iso performance in NX20 compared to NX200. However, prices on Samsung cameras are very dynamic, and tend to go down as time goes by.
Guys from the dpreview indicated that the Samsung have not send the NX20 for review yet. The dpreview is arguably the most popular site dedicated to digital cameras, and it is hard to understand the logic of Samsung marketing department.
And in meantime the rumors are up for Canon to release mirrorless cameras in nearby future. But both Canon and Nikon are heavily invested in DSLRs, and apparently are not very interested in development of mirrorless cameras. Anyway, I am curious to see how Canon would compete with current players in this segment.
This hopefully will be my camera for landscapes when it comes out, but I will have to wait and see how the prices are first.

CameraHouse now lists the NX20 kit with 18-55mm lens for 999 Australian dollars. It looks like a one of the best priced cameras in that class (mirrorless camera with build-in EVF). It seems that most people are happy with the Samsung lenses, too. The high iso is not as good as in current top performers such as Fuji X-E1 but personally I do not use iso 6400 :) It should be a very good camera for landscapes.
Deletesamsung is so nice camera and has so good quality.
