Quoting "P.J. Alling" <[email protected]>:
As mirrorless cameras go this is really quite large. Compared to the
K5 series it's well just about the same size. Add a fotodiox K-NX
adapter and it's pretty much the same size as the K5 in all
dimensions. The only other Mirrorless camera I know of that's in
this size range is the Panasonic GH3/4 so it's kind of ironic when
Samsung's press release says and I quote
"For years photographers have been misled to believe that they need
big, often awkward DSLRs to take great pictures. Smaller mirrorless
cameras, like the Samsung NX30, ..."
But it is lighter (375g v/s 750g for the K-5; body only), which is
something I'd be looking for in my next camera.
Apparently the NYC event is by registration and the free cameras are
for the first 200 in line.

Not much point in me hopping on a plane, then....
I can take the train in, check things out, have lunch in Times Square,
(Last time I did that, the food was surprisingly good, and not
particularly expensive). So a Wednesday playing hooky, might not be a
bad idea. Only problem is it's New York, a city I have a love, hate,
hate, relationship with. Oh well, I've got a couple of days to decide,
it doesn't say first 200 registered. The thing about the Samsung is
that except for the WiFi it's, based on the reviews anyway, a Me Too
camera.

Something tells me you may want to be in line early.
