Re: Looking for a small, low light Samsung pancake kit... Your feedback please :-)

What's your budget? I loved NX system, but it is dead (future). I wouldn't invest heavily in it.

Do you plan on changing lenses, or just want compact large sensor with "normal" lens?

For a fixed lens high quality pancake lens you could look at Fuji X100 or Ricoh GR, or seems there are several new mirrorless systems with small lenses these days. Was it mainly budget for looking at NX?

My S20 Ultra phone's main wide lens is about equivalent to APS-C with 17mm f/4, which is really impressive these days for a cell phone. The other lenses on the cell phone are APS-C equivalent to 60mm f/10 and 9mm f/6.3 (rough approximate).
