Samsung styles up its NX3000 entry-level ILC (pictures)
Now its most inexpensive interchangeable-lens model looks more sophisticated.

Two tone
The NX3000 looks a lot more like the NX300, with three two-tone color choices: black, white, or brown
Selfie friendly
As is the trend, the LCD flips up completely for easier selfies.
Top
Unlike many entry-level ILCs, the NX3000 has a hot shoe.
New kit lens
The NX3000 kit comes with the 16-50mm power-zoom lens; the NX2000 included the old, manual-zoom 20-50mm lens.
Controls
While the NX2000's operation was more screen-driven, the NX3000 has more a more traditional control layout.
Slimmer profile
Although the body is actually a hair deeper than the NX2000, the NX3000's more compact lens makes the overall package slimmer.
Tilting LCD
The NX2000 has a huge, high-resolution display. While the NX3000's tilts -- a useful feature -- it's smaller and rather low resolution.
