im so glad i picked up my NX500 when i did. right after last christmas.. got it on sale for $497 on amazon, used a 100 gift card from amazon and sold the kit lens to B@H for $100.. got it as a backup for my NX1.. with the 30 pancake lens it fits in my front pocket.. great little camera.. put the 16-50S lens on it using a tripod for landscape shots and its a little beast of a camera.. i usually keep either the 50-150 or rokinon 135 on my NX1.. i dont blame you i wouldn't pay the prices they are asking now.. Sky is on fire

I bought the NX500 to replace the NX300 I had. I was a Nikon user and I step into mirrorless system and Samsung just because I wanted a smaller camera wich is easy to carry with me. After NX500, I sold all my Nikon staff and replace them with NX1 and the 2 S lenses. I never regret it, I am very happy to own and use them. Like you said Hoogoose, I love to walk around the city with NX500 and 30mm.

What I wanted more of it? An optional little grip to use it especially with bigger lenses and I also wanted from the little flash to work as a master just to have wireless use of my Metz 44-af1 with NX500. Now, when I want that, I use the NX1, mostly for macro, but NX500 is much easier to use.

BTW, I'm waiting from my wife to make for it a nice macrame wrist strap which I've seen in the Internet. When she'll make it,  I'll upload a photo.
