Oh Wahid, I wish you'd stop tempting me with this stuff! Great deal. However, this time I'll resist 😃

Saw this the other night and thought 'damn, it didn't get cheaper at all' Steady price!

I bought one for this price last year, came with a cable, a PZ and bonus - Macro adapters.  camera had less than 400 clicks.

Sold the body eventually as brown wasn't my cuppa so in the end got the PZ and adapters for free.

Always tempted. I loved all about the NX500 except for jpeg output and the lack of viewfinder. Always think I should get another copy and develop in RAW, now that I got a better laptop with a more detailed screen.

But the lack of viewfinder is the main culprit for me.  And the output I get from my GNX is just superb, even with the mal-reviewed 18-200 which is just beautiful from 18 to about 120. I think I am also spoiled by the the giant GNX screen by now too...

But I do find myself very tempted.

Thanks for sharing!

Agree with you about the GNX, such a nice output. Even the video I find stands up well compared to the NX1. Ok, so it's not 4k, but it still looks fantastic. Today I mounted the GNX on my new weebill s with the 45mm and 30mm. I have the follow focus motor and, despite there being no focus peaking whilst shooting video, which is a shame, the big screen makes it fairly easy to adjust the focus manually. I'll have to share a photo of the setup.

Good to hear. My two main hobbies; hi-fi & photography are heavily subsidized by doing similar to what you did. I couldn't justify/afford the expense otherwise.

Wow! Some people do ask for eye-watering sums. I'm not sure who they are trying to delude, themselves or potential buyers?

I can't imagine it'll ever sell for this amount...

Re: Samsung NX500 + 16-50mm PZ

It will never sell for that amount, but I like the part about no low ball offers!

I figure these advertisements are by some communist spies in North America that have some type of codes in the ad! What other explanation can there be?

I've bought loads of kit from CeX; no quibble 30 days money-back option, 2 years warranty. After 30 days you get vouchers not money, please be aware.

Hope this is of use to someone out there.

This offer came up again today and in a moment of shameful weakness I hit the 'Buy' button. Not sure if it's the same copy as before or another. If it's the same and someone on this forum returned it, could you please shed any light on why. Are there any faults I should be aware of?

My recent experience with CeX has not being great and had to return items. Got full refunds but the hassle is bothersome. Should have asked the question first, but my retail therapist wouldn't have any of it.

Thanking you in advance, Wahid.

Fingers crossed you'll get a good one although I've had hit or miss experiences there recently. I think next time I buy something and get a duff I'll return via the post - the chap in my local store has a tendency to interrogate me and make me wait ages while he 'tests' the items.

Thanks Mark. My last 3 or 4 returns were all done by post. The habit started during lock-down and works well. Like you say, no interrogation and a half-hour wait until inspected.

Didn't get my hands on it till a week after delivery so not had lots of time to thoroughly test it out. However all seems good so far, looks like a keeper.

I've promised myself 'No more cameras!'. Well for this year at least.

…can I give me the name of your therapist because I have said the same thing for the last couple of years and have had to fire mine!

I have an impulsive side of my brain and a rational side.

The impulsive side is stronger.

Me too and my rational side is very strong. But a couple of drinks and it dissolves into insignificance.
