Ive been playing with the new Sony A6300 and it's great but it doesn't have a good wide pancake lens and its bigger so that wont work with my trail running pack up in the mountains when I run 20-30 miles. The NX500 still amazes me with the quality of photos it takes and how quick it works. I took these pictures yesterday with a run my wife and I did with over 5000 ft of elevation gain in the first 5 miles but the views were worth it! The 16mm lens is not the sharpest and quickest on af but for what I need it's much better than a cell phone picture. I did not spend much time editing these raw files and taking the pictures

because we were running most the time.

Excellent photos Paul. This place is amazing!

You shouldn't be surprised though, not long ago the NX500 had the best APS-C sensor on a mirrorless camera! And Samsung did a lot of things wrong, but the lenses roadmap wasn't one of those. Of course we needed more and better lenses, but their start with small and cheap lenses was the right thing to do I guess.

Congrats once more, it seems that you live a high quality life!
