Thanks Ben for this review. I found it very informative and an interesting read.

Like you I also have the EX2F and it's great for general walk about with a great lens but I was always a little disappointed with it's results indoor in poor light. So I ordered an NX Mini with a 9mm lens yesterday on the strength of this and other users reviews. With a larger sensor I expect it will perform better. Expecting it to arrive tomorrow or the next day at the latest. Getting excited as it seems to tick all my personal wish list for a small camera that doesn't break the bank.

Thanks again for your excellent review.

Me also had an EX2F before upgrading to Mini.

The 1/1.7 sensor on 2F is no match to 1" inch sensor on Mini

You will first realize how much DR improvement on photos, significant shallower DOF (even with 9mm lens) and of course image will be a lot sharper than your 2F.

Yes, I'm expecting general IQ improvements all-round.

The only things i missed about my old 2F is the fully articulated LCD screen and ability to put the 24mm OVF on hotshoe.

I wasn't aware of the OVF option but probably won't go for one as I carry the EX2F 'permanently' on my person (as a non-mobile phone user) and don't want to add to the overall size. I'm hoping the NX mini will replace the EX2F in that role. Robustness is my only, albeit very slight concern.
