Yup, Get'em while you can , unlike NX200-300s, 1000-3000s and NX20-30s -- NX1s and moreso NX500s are going to get hard to get (far less made = few on the used market later on) , and until Sony make an APS-C E-mount Zoom lens of even half passable quality (doesn`t seem likely, they`ve not managed it in the past 6 years at any price) then there`s still a need for NX500s and NX1s

I don't agree with you. At the current price of the NX1, and the NX500, I think it is fullish to buy it, unless you are really desperated... or you are stuck with the lenses you have (like tecnoworld ;))...but I think even him thinks these are prohibitive prices. I mean, 800€ for a NX500?!?!? Come on!!!

Why? 1st because the Sony A6300 is better, and less expensive than the NX1, even bought new. And there might be  a price drop any time,

Secondly, the Sony A5300 is just around the coner, wich is going to be better than the NX500 hopefully...

Oon the other hand for 500 $ you get the Panasonic G7, wich is a system with a bright future ahead...

Tha said, I would buy another NX500 if its price was less than 350€, and there is no doubt in my mind that these crazy prices will drop soon. It is a risky bet...
