Goodmorning everyone. They are three years that use Samsung NX3000 and are very pleased with the results I've had. In recent times I begin to have some minor problems that the service center has resolved. To avoid future problems are looking for a mirrorless that good features. Once accustomed to this type of sensor I can no longer take pictures with lower sensor. Unfortunately Samsung no longer manufactures cameras and then try other models. Among the many models to value and size, I analyzed the characteristics and Sony A5100 seems like a viable alternative to NX3000 and superior characteristics. The size and portability resulting like. Which judgments you have about this pattern? Do you have tips for other models? There are also many other models with APS-C sensor very interesting but unfortunately have a fixed focal length and thus seem limiting. Thank you all for the advice.

I'm Pretty sure only the Sony A7RII has the BSI sensor.

Yes, A7Rii and NX1. Samsung was first too.

If you remember, back then - and for a couple more years, Fuji, m43 had 16megapixels sensors, and suddenly Samsung offers a 28 megapixel one, that actually still has the most megapixel count in its category. Obviously it was a first for such a big sensor and pretty immature in my opinion. NX1mkII should only had to increase high ISO quality with IBIS, and it would have been the best such camera ever.

"In September 2014 Samsung announced the world's first APS-C sensor to adopt back-side illuminated (BSI) pixel technology. This 28-megapixels sensor (S5KVB2) was adopted by their new compact system camera, the NX1, and was showcased along with the camera at photokina 2014, held in Cologne, Germany, 16 to 21 September.

On 10 June 2015 Sony announced the first camera employing a back-side illuminated full frame sensor, the α7R II."

The sensor is great but what makes it come together is the Drim 5 processor, its like having a socket 2011 core 7  one can only imagine where it is now.

I don't believe they pulled the plug completely.
