Re: NX500 as the near perfect compact camera

I feel like as smartphones get larger sensors and get better and better at video this is becoming less of an issue. Lot of smartphones out there with 1/1.7" sensors or similar now, and the stabilization has gotten nearly gimbal-like on some of the top options. I'm especially interested to see what Apple comes up with (even though I'm an Android user) for the iPhone 12, since it's rumored to have a 1/1.9" sensor, and they're already at or near the top of smartphone video with a comparatively tiny sensor in the 11.

Of course if you're doing professional work, depending on what exactly it is, a smartphone probably won't cut it. But if you're just trying to sub in for what the NX1 can accomplish, I'll bet you can get reasonably close.  (Not in stills, just in video.)
