Slowly but surely I am getting more and more order as a photographer. So I know that in the next few months I am going to replace my Nx500 as my main camera. But I'm not sure what I should get. In one hand I would love to have an NX1 but it's still a dead system and seemingly no one want to pick up the system and continue it. If somehow technology would be picked up and used by another company then I would go to that company without hesitation.

But in the other hand the NX1/NX500 is probably the best APS-C sensor so it wouldn't be an easy choose for me. I could pick the A6500 which even has Image Stabilization while the NX1 doesn't.

I dealt with the exact same situation. I loved my NX500, especially the value of it, but I didn't feel comfortable continuing to buy lenses for a dead system. I felt like I was in a pretty difficult situation, as I didn't want to have to buy into completely new system someday without being able to sell my old gear and put that money towards it. Or at least being able to sell the old gear for a decent price.

I looked hard at going full frame with either Nikon (D750) or one of the various Sony models, but in the end went with the Fuji X-T2. The new 24 MP Fuji sensor seemed like a pretty big step up from their previous one, but I mostly just love the Fuji lens selection.

If I could have afforded to buy into a new system without selling my Samsung NX gear, I would have loved to, but I didn't really have that option.

Even though Fuji is my second favorite system, unfortunately isn't in NX territory yet, and missing some lenses (like the 16-50 S perfection, and the amazing 10mm fish eye) that are in my top 3 list (of use). Lack of touch screen and other very important aspects can't let me let go yet. And, the 2 Fuji flagships just arrived this year, we are not going to have a new one before 2018, and probably the first will be the photo specialized flagship.

Canon is at least 2 generations away, and when I go mirrorless, I want native lenses, that's why I am going mirrorless the first time. I adapt lenses, but most of the times I want them native.

Sony is just a camera announcement away from perfection, every time they seem to screw up somehow. I am expecting A7mark IIIs really soon, and at some point (maybe after 2 a6xx cameras in 7 months apart will chill a bit in the APS-C department, so probably 2018 for that, or more) they will have an a7000 or something, it HAS to be a great camera, no more excuses and poor choices.

The only system right NOW, is the Pana one. Amazing value for money, the G(X)80(85) just value for money right now, the coming GH5 it shapes to be the best hybrid for video ever made, and no holes in the lens line up (even though, again, the 16-50 S is a league of its own, I can't stress that enough after so many years without one!).

We will know for sure in a few days (GH4 and other cameras announcement in 4th of January), still we have to wait for availability, I definitely won't be an early adaptor (everytime I did, I paid it with some way!), so I am not sure if it will be available for ME before this summer, or September. Until then, I can't do with only a G85, or GX85, I need a professional body, so I'll be waiting and see.

Just thinking loudly, Happy new year to all Gregorian calendar countries!!
