Personally, I'd not want a stills camera without an eye-level finder ... I'm not interested in video either.

The market for NX gear is likely to diminish further over the next five years, making any expenditure now more prone to be written down than similarly aged and specified second-hand equipment from other manufacturers. Battery availability may also be a consideration. Are they still being manufactured?

Just my thoughts as a confirmed DSLR user (my NX system is definitely a "second string" arrangement, bought very cheaply)

Good luck

Thanks! As this camera will be used mainly for landscape photography on a tripod, so an eye-level finder will not be missed the majority of the time.

I am facing this camera as working tool mainly. So by the time it becomes truly obsolete or even out of order without repair, I hope the camera would have paid itself several times over. So, I am not too concern with resale value.

My main doubt though is: IQ wise can it hold its own with newer APS-C offerings from Sony and Fuji?
