Re: 2022 - Moving to Sony Alpha and making NX line a backup, anyone else?

Samsung NX never was my one and only system, but I still use the NX30, NX2000 and NX Mini with the slow zooms and the pancakes. It was an addition to the Nikon D700, more lightweight and compact when on the road with the bicycle, and it still is.

Nowadays, the D700 was replaced by a Z6, but FX lenses are still bigger and heavier than DX. Of the lenses, the 16-50 Powerzoom didn't take well to bicycle transport and got massively decentered, the 18-55 seems more sturdy.

This year I had to get new batteries for the NX30 and one of the batteries for the Mini failed. Luckily, batteries are still available. I'm really wondering, that the 8 year old battery of the NX2000 is still good.
