THis is going a bit off topic, but what is the reason behind these rather absurd prices? And can't you buy from Amazone/ebay and get it a lot cheaper?

I did not read about your G9, that is a pity. I know when I got my EM1.2 I never expected better IQ than what my GH4 gave me but it was easy to see. And it was also easily better than the IQ out of my EPL5. Not a lot in either case but detectable. And the hires mode onthe G9 btw is better than on my EM1.2 from all I have seen. But a defected G9 won't do you any good.

So yes: NX500 seems to serve you well and well done for a good price!

Here in Brazil there is 100% tariff over imported goods (ie the price of the camera + shipping cost x2). Take a look at this screenshot I just took from my Amazon app right now pointing the delivery address to Brazil:

- Camera price: $999.99

- import tariff: $1181.78

Total: $2181,77

It is just unfortunate. This is the same for smartphones, tablets, computers etc etc
