A6000 vs NX500 against the GX7? But I guess I don't really need a new camera...

Any NX500 owner?

Please share your experience and how it is compared to MFT and Sony APS-C in terms of IQ,AF speed..etc

I am especially interested in AF speed and accuracy in low light. Is it quick in operation?

Thanks. I am very interested in the NX500 and will most likely buy one.

I have NX500, Sony A7 and EPL5. First, I don't think EPL5 can complete with the sensor in NX500.

Although I don't recommend using DXO numbers for purchase, but the NX500 got 87 (class leading sensor according to DXO) and Sony A7 90. For my experience, the IQ is really that close. Plus the NX500 don't have a AA filter.

And the A6000 got a score of 91.

The NX500 AF speed is fast, and I can track my 8 year old running at full speed or on rollerblade.

Very good user interface, touch focus is great. Very very good LCD screen, best I have used, usable in the bright sun if you cast a shadow over it (similar to Samsung galaxy phone)

Video is very good. I play with 4K frame grab with is done inside the camera.

But like any purchase, you should look at the overall system first.

The big problem for some people is the NX500's lack of an EVF.
