Re: The screen seemed fine to me

NX 500 is of no use whatever outdoors in normal bright daylight...a total failure even in  moderate daylight but somewhat/sometimes is ok in shade.  It's a 100%  fine camera indoors, assuming a "normal" 35mm slr type of viewfinder isn't necessary.

Outdoors during the day I now use a Pentax K70 which is far larger/heavier than NX500 but enjoys a typical Pentax superb optical viewfinder (prism, not mere mirror).

The Pentax and the Samsung appear to produce equally fine files, with each camera having unique strengths for my purposes, which are always inkjet prints.
