Stephen - I am with Albert here. I am still not sure where some of purported stories come from about the N1 AF; certainly some camera's may not have worked well but I am sure you can find the same with Nikon or Canon camera's. At some point these stories start to lead their own life, it seems (thanks to the internet no doubt), without being footed in reality. In any event, I've had mine (N1) now for a year and a half and its AF is dead-on. The central sensor is faster and more sensitive in low light than the surrounding ones, but that is to be expected. In normal light they all work very well. The N1 is a much more sophisticated and sturdy camera than the NX, which is illustrated in their price differential. I think you would be sorely mistaken to take the NX over the N1 over a perceived mythical AF problem. The N1 is much larger and costly; that should be the only reason not to get it; otherwise it is a splendid camera, very easy to use. Also bear in mind that the flash on the NX only covers 28 mm -on, and will likely project a shadow with the huge 24-85 (which was for me the only reason to get this system) even without the large lens hood.
I am no sure what you would like to hear, but the n1 is one fine camera which I hope to use until digital becomes affordable and equal to film in quality (which si still years away for me, I'm sure). BTW, Velvia 100 and the N1/24-85 are a match made in heaven.
