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.

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? And how much could I get for the unreliable camera I have now, and the 16mm and 30mm (A bit battered, but in perfect working order)

If it's the nx500 with the slens then that's a good deal, depending on the condition. Personally I'd hang on to the 30mm as it's a great companion of the nx500.

I don't think you'll get much for the old nx500 if you sell it disclosing the faults, but you may get up to £100 for the 16mm.
