How much was it and what can tou get for each one? I would probably sell the NX500 but only you know.

The rx100iv was just under £350 and I could probably get the same back, and maybe as much as £450 ish for the nx500.

I take on board the comments about smaller sensor compacts being inferior and of course they are. However in my view the Sony is still significantly better than any phone I've used, and arguably better than anything on the market right now. I'm not overly bothered about being able to share stuff straight away and in fact with the Sony it's quite simple to connect to my phone and import stuff.

I know the nx500 with the 30mm produces outstanding results but I'm stuck at that focal length, the autofocus isn't great, and there's no ois for video, plus I'd only realistically be able to shoot 1080p in confined spaces due to the 4k crop.

Other advantages of the Sony are the evf and having a built in flash that you can also bounce.

Hmm, still undecided!
