Thing is, unless you're one of those people for whom the lack of a viewfinder is a deal-breaker, there really isn't anything out there that's much of an upgrade over my NX500, at least as far as rangefinder-style mirrorless APS-C cameras go.

I figure that my NX500 will be fine for the next tree or four years. I'm still waiting to see what Nikon is going to do with mirrorless. The Nikon 1 appears to be dead. I don't see how they can afford not to go after the APS-C mirrorless market. That looks like where the size/weight/performance/cost sweet spot is going to be for the next decade or so, but you never know.

Granted! The NX500 is still up there with the best and a true bargain , but I`m seeing a few like new NX300 "complete"  kits to be had for  $200 +/- .

For budget conscious /casual shooters like myself , it`s as good as it gets .
