Brand new, never used. It had good (not great) ratings so I made the deal. It came with the 9mm lens and I ordered the 9-27 zoom and the 17mm F1.8. I've been using a Panasonic GM1 which is a very small camera but the DXO ratings gave the Mini a much higher rating.

It looks like a good camera for indoors where things are congested and a bigger camera would be awkward.

Are there any here still using the Mini? I am interested in any suggestions for getting the best from this camera.

I have NX mini. I sold my NX500 setup with all the lenses (7), except 50-200, but kept NX Mini, which I'll use on a Mini with adapter. Also ordered 17/1.8 from Korea for $169. Got Mini for $210 with a kit zoom for $200 few years ago. I's a pretty good quality camera to complement my Pentax Q7, Canon G9X mkII, and Nikon Coolpix A setup. Also thinking about replacing Coolpix A with Fuji XF10.

Well if you do replace your \\\\\\\\\\\\\\coolpix A with the XF10 I for one would like to see how you get on. The Fuji XF10 to me looks like a better camera for street at least. I have the optical VF for my Coolpix A - I wonder if it'd fit the XF10?

I guess I'm just waiting on more reviews of the XF10 before committing.

XF10 doesn't have shoe mount, so you can't mount OVF.

That's one con for sure..

The prices on Ricoh GR II also went down, so that's an alternative route. I don't like the spec of GR III (no built-in flash).

I would not consider the GR II a step up mainly because of its sensor. The better sensor is a major draw for me - more scope for cropping etc.

The GR III is a maybe, gotta wait on reviews.
