Re: NX500 as the near perfect compact camera

The NX500 was certainly impressive for its time, but recent Fuji cameras have better video capabilities and Canon was able to one-up Samsung in terms of APS-C pixel density with their EOS 90D and M6 Mark II. If Samsung had continued producing compact cameras, would they have fallen behind?

Since getting an A7RIII, I barely touch my NX500. I was never satisfied with the NX500's image quality at high ISO values, and the Sony has less noise and much higher resolution. Only downside is having to buy larger bags to carry my gear. If I wanted to shoot video, I'd get an X-T30, X-T3 or X-T4.
