Great review, Teje--very informative for people like me who moved to Samsung mirrorless from a dslr system (Pentax, in my case). My I ask you, how would you rate the 16-50mm powerzoom against Pentax's pretty good 18-55mm II? I was tempted to buy this camera for the zoom, but the camera isn't supported by DxO Pro yet... I have a nx2000, and I was looking for a second camera, to avoid changing lenses on a trip to the Canyons. Thanks!

Samsung 16-50 is a very fine lens in my opinion, taking in mind it's price and size, and have a very useful range. Auto corrected files don't tell all the truth about the lens, since distorsion is high at wide angle, and corners suffer from field curvature which is clearly visible. Pentax 18-55 is in my opinion much better optically, specially in terms of corner resolution.
