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.

Can you take a photo of your xt-20 and nx500 and post here please for comparison? Just put them side by side and whip out a phone camera. Thanks.

P.s nobody ever said nx500 is better, just that you'll pay 3 times the price if you switch systems.. If you think the benefit is worth that much then by all means get Fuji! Personally I'd look at G85 or a6500 they both have superior video and also IBIS which is what the Fuji is really lacking in 2017..
