Glad to hear that you are enjoying your NX500. I also wanted a second lighter system to complement my heavy DSLR kit and tried out the Sony a6000 several times over the winter before the NX500 was released. I could never warm up to the Sony for exactly the reasons you state, plus its incomplete and partially very overpriced or underperforming selection of lenses. So I didn't buy it. Among other cameras I tested I liked Fuji's mirrorless cams a lot save for the awfully slow and hunting AF and perhaps the slightly ageing X-Trans sensor which is also not ideal for landscapes and small greenery. When the NX500 was released and I read about it, I knew it was what I wanted. I bought it and have loved it ever since. It is an amazingly capable little camera. I agree with Jude though that for shooting in extremely bright light an optional EVF to pop on would be nice.

Enjoy!

Andrea
