I currently have an NX1 and an NX2000. Both are wonderful cameras, but even the NX2000 with 20-50mm lens is a bit on the large size. I want something small enough to slip into a pocket. Sure I have a cellphone camera, but there's no zoom and the quality isn't all that super.

What is the current best compact camera that Samsung makes?

NX mini is much smaller than the NXxxx cameras, and the lenses are small, especially the 9(?)mm. I was waiting for the NX mini 2 in the summer, but that didn't happened.

I highly recommend the NX mini system. It has three very good lenses. 9mm is compact. 17mm is FAST at 1.8 and has OIS! 9-27mm is versatile and also has OIS. Basically it gives you the basic kit most people need in a super compact package.

The first camera I considered was the NX Mini, and if Samsung were going to support the format, I'd probably buy it, but $500 for a dead-end format is a bit much.
