@Abu Mahendra - Please Update NX500 to the Newest Firmware
Abu Mahendra wrote:I am here at my LCS playing with the NX500 and kit lens. Tested the sharpness of the kit lens at 1/FL , handheld and OIS off. There is zero sign of the alledged shutter shock as all images are sharp. There is zero evidence to support the claim that sharp images require 1/160s due presumably to shutter shock.
Its not just TCS, every youtube review I read have negative things to say about it. In every comparison, people choose their 3yrs old Nikon D5100 over NX500, in another video, another reviewer choose Sony A6000 over NX500.
But that is with the OLD FIRMWARE. Samsung apparently already release a FIX for it here:
