Despite moving to another brand of full-frame cameras, I still keep my NX500 because no other ASP-C compact can touch it. I do a lot of backpacking where volume and weight are important and the NX500 with the 12-24mm is the smallest and lightest crop sensor camera with an ultrawide angle perspective available. In fact, it is still ranked #2 on the DXO ASP-C list after all these years. Are the other manufacturers not even trying? I can only wonder how awesome a second gen. NX1 or NX500 would have been!

Just wonder too. But doing ok with what I got. But as you mention the 12-24 maybe one for sale here. Not mentioned price. Read review at Ephotozine, not too good. But in real life, good enough?

Do not get what you mean. The 12-24 is incredible for the money, not so much in build quality, but in performance is astounding. Tack sharp from wide open, and very useful 18-36mm (in 35. equiv) range. A lot of times, especially in camping trips, is the only lens I take with the NX500, or even NX1 (NX1 with a small lens in incredible compact, and due to the brilliant form factor and design, fits everywhere. Even with the 30mm isn't that bigger than a NX500 combo).

500$ is too much though, I wouldn't spend so much for a dead system right now, but if you can find something around 300 (in very good condition), I say it worth the money.

For amateurs, a Canon M50 is maybe all that they will need, there is a similar Ultra Wide Zoom, which is the cheaper and very good performing such lens, and a very good 22mm pancake but then, the EOS M system is dead also, and the Quality Control of the EOS M lenses is really bad anyway.
