I have an NX500 with the 16mm, 30mm, and 50-200mm. I love the camera but it has developed a fault where it will often not recognise the lens properly. It says lens attached, and I can even take a photo, but I can hear the motor in the lens struggling, and the aperture on the screen reads as f:-- Turning it off and then on again often fixes it but sometimes I have to do this many times before it works properly. Very annoying and I don't know if I can fix it.

Try cleaning the electric contacts (on both camera and lenses) and resetting the camera. Also try upgrading the firmware if it has never been done.

I'm very tempted to move to Fujifilm or Panasonic but I have an opportunity to buy another NX500 with the 16-50mm S lens for £550. Should I do it?

It all depends on what features you want. Nx500 is a very capable camera with an excellent sensor and you already have NX lenses. You might not find a smaller and sharper lens than nx 30mm in other systems. Fujifilm's lenses are VERY expensive and Panasonic m4/3 has a small sensor.

Kind regards,
