"Better" is essentially subjective. I don't own an LX, so I can't draw a direct comparison. It has an EVF and stabilization, whereas the NX500 does not and it has high-bitrate video without having to resort to unsupported modifications. I'm not going to purchase one to see how it fairs in practice.

The NX500 does have high-bitrate video. It can record at 70Mb/s HEVC which is roughly equivalent to 140Mb/s h264.

I don't know why you would want to go higher than that. I usually edit video and output to 25-30Mbps h264 and would struggle to see any discernable difference (obviously depending on the scene).
