NX500

Aloha! I'm looking to buy a digicam for the first time in years, so I'm looking at what's out there these days.  I'm sure you all know what I mean. I bought a Sony Rx100 ii because, being older, it's pretty inexpensive, but it has good IQ ratings and is compact. The first night I used it though I knew I was going to keep looking. The lens is not very fast and it's SO small. It is not great to hold and the controls are small and not great.

So I'm looking at cameras, some compact, some ILC's, and I'm looking at Olympus, Panasonic, Fuji and Sony. I'm getting up to speed on what's out there. My main interest is still image quality, in something smaller than a DSLR.  I never even considered Samsung, but then I looked on DxOMark.com and I see the nx500 and it has this incredible IQ rating. Does this sound familiar?  I read more reviews and it is generally considered to have excellent IQ.

Well, I just wanted to post to see what other people's experience is with the nx500. And also maybe how other people view the DxOMark site ratings.  I'm really interested in the scores they use, dynamic range, color depth and low-light ISO.

I was concerned about lens selection, but it looks like Samsung has some good lenses, and they're not ridiculously expensive.  How are the lenses in your experience?

Thanks!
