First Mirrorless / NX100
3

Found a used NX100 with kit lens and flash for $109 two weeks ago. I had been thinking about getting a mirrorless for several months, looking at the Sonys and Samys both. The kit is in pretty good shape with some mottling on the LCD, which I can live with. It isn't nearly as bad as some of the Sony screen mottling I have seen. Also the zoom ring is not smooth but not bad.

I have gone way back reading forum posts here since it came out and have several threads bookmarked for further reading. So far mine does not have the top wheel or i-Fn button issues I have read about. The firmware is 1.03 body, 1.00 lens. I know there is a body firmware update but since a few users have had bad experiences with updating I'm not sure I want to try it. Also, the shutter count shows 635. I find this a bit low, but if the firmware is that old it just might be correct. I think I read something about the firmware updates might change the number back to zero.

Anyway, I know this kit is going on 8 years old but it should still take some great shots. I will pretty much shoot RAW+JPG, even though the write time is slow!

That camera (and lens) is not a low light monster but it will give you very nice colors and that lens is very very good on the wide end.

Enjoy your new kit and have funĀ

My first mirrorless cam as well. I used for almost 8 yrs and the sensor spoiled. Great camera, I took lots of nice pictures with this cam

I still have and occasionally use my NX100. I like it's size and controls layout. I also still have an NX20 that I use, but prefer the handling of the NX100. Enjoy your new camera, and learn it's features. I prefer to use a Clearviewer with both cameras to give me a large "EVF" to work with.

Glad you mentioned the Clearviewer....I have been looking at that.

I haven't had a chance to get it out as it's been very cold and gloomy here.
