You know, it's obviously all subjective...

I most certainly agree with you about the lens part.  My 9-27 actually seems very decent with good sharpness levels all the way around, although I wish it would have had a rubberized coating when you zoom - 'cause what you feel is all metal when zooming, and that feels strange and not necessarily ergonomically sound - but hey, it is what it is.

With regards to the Sony 1" sensors, that's where the "subjective" comes into play.  I know myself (and quite a few others) do not necessarily enjoy Sony colors - I know I never had.  This is not to imply that Sony cameras aren't good - by all means, they are superb instruments from what I can see (and I'm sure mirrored by many Sony users).

But how colors are rendered are a very personal thing and that's one of the main reasons for my still staying in the Samsung camp (although I shoot with a variety of other brand mirrorless cameras also).  I'm primarily a scenics shooter, so the Samsung line does that superbly, however, I do not like Samsung with regards to skin tones - that I rely on Fuji, Olympus, and Canon for.

I'm just surprised that I didn't "discover" the NX Mini sooner.  I do plan on tracking dow a good 19 MM though, that's for sure.
