hello ben,

Thank you for your words. I am selling my Nx500 besause I am now a proud owner of the nx1

Funny I own an NX1 and I just bought the NX500 to go with it lol

I think those 2 complement each other very very well. Usually my NX1 has the 16-50s glued on to the front, and is my go to camera for use at home or out and about when I don't worry about weight and bulk.

But most of the time I take the nx500 with 30mm with me most places, ultra compact and unrivaled IQ at that focal length...

They really are great complements of each other. Use NX1 for all Video and all Heavy Glass (largest being Canon FD 300mm F2.8). Use NX500 for all light-weight glass and when stealth is required e..g. street photography. Already owning my glass, it just made sense to add used NX500.
I am saddened, however, that many on our forum, for no fault of there own, just cannot afford the cost. I sincerely know how very fortunate I am.

I paid my NX500 full price back then (but then again, it was one of those with extra battery and charger versions), and never regret it. It was 100euros more, than most used ones right now, and I sold the extra PZ lens, so I got it for even less.

NXxxx series cameras brought me into the system. Excellent form factor, build quality (except the program wheel, it started acting up, even though my NX500 is so slightly used) and ergonomics for such a small camera. Brilliant really. Very good looking also.

Now that I have a NX1, a second NX1 bought used for cheap (and is the camera I take in difficult tasks), a NX3000 and the aforementioned NX500, I cover all my bases, everything.
