Few images from my first trip with my NX500
7

Hi guys,

Last weekend I took my new NX500 and lenses to the beach. I took several pictures with it and liked the results a lot, specially at low ISO.

All in all I am really happy with the kit. Nonetheless, I had a few let downs regarding 2 lenses: the 16-50mm PZ which is very soft at the corners and the 12-24mm (super sharp across the frame but the metal mount is loose, so I am returning it). Now I am looking after a 16-50mm f/2-2.8, which seems to be amazing. I like this range a lot!

The 45mm is superb and the 50-200mm is surprisingly good. The only thing I wish the NX500 had was in-body image stabilization. I was spoiled by my Olympus EM5 and kind of forgot how important IBIS was. For social snaps it helped a lot, and I got slightly blurry portraits with the 45mm and 30mm (another gem). Nonetheless, for tripod work, this feature plays no role.

Battery life is decent and I love the use interface, It is very simple, friendly and logic. I am afraid I start looking for a used NX1! EVF could become handy in stabilizing shots better and weather sealing is an important feature as my NX500 fell two times on the sand (no damage).

Here is a handful of pictures I have selected out of hundreds taken.
