I got a Samsung NX Mini from a thrift store, with a 9mm lens. It's a 1" type BSI CMOS 20.5MP sensor, released 8 years ago.

Pretty amazing little camera. No VF and one dial, but great menus on the touchscreen. Kind of hard to see with it out on a hike in the sun, but otherwise fine. Even the PASM modes are only on the touch screen. Apparently it didn't do too well, but I'm having considerable fun with it.

I was sort of surprised by its ability to do ok with bright and dark and noise, for that year, and that sized sensor.

So I think I'll keep it. Pocketable, so easy to have on hand, and I still like using it vs my phone.

Thank you for the nice pictures. The NX Mini is still a very capable camera today, especially considering its size. The exceptional battery life makes it one of my favorite travel camera. With the 9mm, 17mm and NX 45mm with adapter, it makes a very versatile kit delivering superb results.

Here's a recent travel picture from my NX Mini with the 17mm:
