Less than Flattering Review for Samsung NX500 from TheCameraStoreTV
2

I trust the review from TheCameraStoreTV (the most).  Judging by what they experience....there is a lot of "I really like this camera....BUT X,.....but Y......BUT Z."  Watch the entire REVIEW here:

Samsung NX500 Hands-On Field Test

Positive:

  • greatest 28mp ASP-C sensor

Negatives:

  • Really Loud Shutter that cause Shutter-Shock.
  • Need 1/160s to get any sharp image from 16-50mm kit lens (commented twice)
  • that makes 1/20~1/50 unusable, no low light
  • 16-50 has lousy minimum focusing
  • [video+still] tend to focus hunt, more annoying in video
  • [video] face tracking AF isn't as good as canon M (judging by the video)
  • NO MICK JACK!, must rely on build in MIC.  The problem is that NX500 is noisy during continous AF in video, this makes the resulting video very NOISY in audio output.
  • Strange Samsung menu system that is non-intuitive
  • Unlike NX1, there is No Full-Sensor Readout in NX500 during 4K shoot.  It's only using a center portion of sensor for 4K instead of the entire sensor.  The resulting in 3x crop factor for video (watch 9:40 for explanation)

Sound like a great STILL camera but a lousy Video.  Its also not exactly a mini-NX1 as I had hope.
