Re: New Nx500 owner.. which 2.5K hack? - Non star

Sorry all, but I just did a few tests of the NX500 vs. the LX100 and one thing that I noticed that I think is a deal breaker is the FOV difference between the LX100's widest setting and the 16-50mm lens.  Now with the LX100, you can squeeze a bit more than 24mm if you export to RAW Therapee or the like, and perform your own distortion correction.  However the 16-50 @16mm is also narrow than my 24mm lenses on my Nikon as well.  But when you compare the LX100 to the NX500/16-50mm, I get the following variance from the same exact position (see below).    The other thing I noticed was the sharpness differential with the kit lens anyway is pretty close.

I will do some more tests, including some video, but these 2 findings on their own will make it hard for me to let go of the LX100.  We will see.  Thanks all.
