just thought I'd share a few thoughts about my new NX73v, first of all WOW it's cool. (ok got that out of the way)
The camera is not the best but it's fine for little snaps, I haven't played with the movie camera much yet.
The main reasons I upgraded from my TG50 were 1: the screen size and brightness. 2: the CF ability especially enhanced with extra drivers.
I am a photographer and sometimes have to transmit images from a scene via a laptop and nokia 6310i mobile. The advantage of being able to send pictures from my clie is down to size and weight. sadly there are no full photographic editing apps like pocketphojo for PPC but for basic editing I have been trying Fotogather. I can now successfully take a digital hires (7meg) image on my Nikon d1 camera, pop the compact flash card into my NX, import a shot into Fotogather (at 1/2 setting for the test) alter brightness and contrast (if necessary) then export it to my memory stick (because i can only get cliemail to see the MS) as a jpg at about 70% compression. then I open up cliemail write a new mail attach the image file connect to pop sever and send the mail which took under one minute to send. The original image was 190kb (7.5 meg opened) and the emailed image was32kb (1.88 meg opened) and could still be blown up to 14 X 9 inches without any major loss of quality, which is more than enough for newspaper use.
Although I cannot incorporate a caption as with photoshop, if i'm emailing then all i need to do is add the caption in the email.
my NX can now take the place of my second rucksack holding my laptop and charger/spare battery/ cables etc..etc...
