Re: Samsung NX500 vs Fuji X-T20

I have both cameras. My opinion is favorable to XT20.

I've loved my NX500 which has given to me great astro-shots with Samyang 12mm but I've recently shot with xt20 + 12 and i believe Fuji has less noise at high ISO and it recovers the shadows much better.

Howerver I have to tell that both cameras have a different ISO behavior. I've shot at the same time both cameras with Samyang 12 and the same shutter time with ISO auto and Samsung has a smaller ISO value than Fuji in the same situation. Not to much, probably 1/4 or 1/2 stop. Ergonomically Samsung is better but Fuji has EVF. Colors at Jpg and Raw, for my, are better in Fuji.

Fuji has a better lenses and its AF system is much much better than Samsung. Fuji has a great face detection for shothing kids ir pleople and new F2.0 lenses line is quite fast.

I love my XT-20 so much so that I'm going to sell my NX500 and the lenses.
