So I picked up the Samsung NX100 (with the 20-50 mm non-OIS lens) when the Source had it on super sale (~$320 all in) a couple weeks back, and I'm still wrestling with whether or not I want to keep it.

My normal SLR is a D300 - when I want to travel light I use it with my 35 f/1.8.

I'm trying to figure out whether I want both cameras or should just return the NX100 and put that money towards other photo toys. Anyone here use any of the Samsung mirrorless cameras? Any thoughts from those with both SLRs and mirrorless cameras?

Thanks!
Sameer

Garbage. Sony NEX-5 or GF-1/GF-2 is way better.

i have both DSLR and mirrorless cameras. i like both, it has it's own usage. when i travel with my family, i like my E-P1. but if i'm travelling alone and have time to "kill", i'll bring my DSLR. also the E-P1 fits inside my wife's bag so she too can carry and use it.

If you want to get into adapting off mount lenses (especially M-mount), the Samsung is not the way to go.
