But (and this is one for Ed), I do still have the Canon SX50 which I regard as my ‘most fun’ camera of all time!

Totally agree with you there, Keith. Although 95% of the time I'm using my NX1 and S lenses these days because I need Exhibition quality results (yes, I prefer the NX1 over my full frame Canons and L lenses), I still carry around my 'most fun' SX50 in my belt case at times. Here's an example from a couple of weeks ago showing its great versatility. It only took a few seconds to acquire and capture the handheld portrait of this little darter:

This is a quarter crop of a handheld SX50 image resized down to 1000x1000.

The full image can be found here: Dragonfly

Note that since Samsung failed to provide long glass for the NX series, I also carry the SX50 when I believe it will fulfill that purpose. That little 12mp sensor cleans up very nicely using Topaz plug-ins in Photoshop CC. I believe I'll always be using the SX50 and since there was enough demand, I actually taught an entire class last week on its use in the field. As you know, it's still a very popular camera.
