Hi Ben, thank you for your review.

I've had an NX Mini for a about three weeks. Recently, we've been to a very beautiful place, where I carried my NX mini. It completely satisfied me during the trip, regarding every aspect, except one, which is I can't find a wireless remote shutter, which would come in handy sometimes.

The image quality is as you've described: "SUPERB", but there are minor things that may not be so good for some people.

One is the white balance. I find it to be frequently a little too warm, but for me it never is a problem, because I always shoot RAW and set WB to my taste in post.

Another thing is that you can't set bracket shooting and self-timer together, which is silly.

Another thing is that the 9mm lens, my only lens, is poor when the sun is in the frame.

Look at the following shot:

Could you possibly share some shots with your 9-27mm lens where the sun is in the frame? Is it better than the 9mm lens?

Overall, I'm totally satisfied. The best advantage of this camera is, as you've said, its excellent dynamic range.

Here are some shots that I took during my trip. All of them were shot in RAW format and edited and resized to about 8 MP in Photoshop.
