Pros: - Value for money (2019). - ECCELLE in portraits and landscaping, for colors the superfine detail and above average resolution (28 mpx). - Detail in 4k videos. - Functions almost from smartphones between filters, editing possibilities and Wi-Fi connectivity - bluetooth.

Cons: - Absent sight on the body (sold at a very high price and impossible to find). - Sufficient low-light freehand shots but not up to the height of an F.F. - Optics (few and rare) that once used for her can be thrown away because they do not have a future.

Opinion: I bought it in August 2019 in a reasoned way since, wanting to make good "photography", in the cheapest way possible, I noticed that DXOM-rk put this machine, (buyable used at attractive prices), to a stunning 40th place among "monsters "Sacred" like Leica M10... I found it at only 350 degrees (body) and when I got home I tried it with the standard 18-55 ois that I had left from the nx3000 and I swear to you: I was going to throw it away. Very distorted shots, high graininess even at low ISO and yellowing as the light goes down, I wanted to split it, 350 degrees thrown away I thought... Meanwhile, hurriedly, the week before I had bought a 45mm f1.8, and as I was about to close the deal by selling it to a guy on Subit, I got home the new goal. Curious, lost to lose, I fitted him to try and.... I was in disbelief... The machine went from discreet to ECCELLENTE. I found that the 18-55 and 20-50 are not at all suitable for the high performance but overthrusts of this backlit sensor (a bit like mounting a very small intercooler to a 3000 turbo petrol machine), which is precisely true that it is an APSC, but not being great as an F.F. needs "quality" lenses and a good opening to give it its all. Convinced with an excuse I kept it and studying the manual thoroughly I discovered that this machine is a "bomb", especially in the landscape, with the 16mm f2.4 gives panormami worthy of an Alpha 7-7s, Nikon D610-750. Obviously where she is overcome with low hands by the aforementioned is in the freehand shots made at low brightness, where A7 and D610 manage to give "perfection" even with very low exposure times. With the NX500 I churned out evening files of ALTA quality on one condition: easel, long exposure and a good goal, as I said, forget the Standard Lens kit. It is a machine that wants its tricks and its "cuddles", after which it can give enormous satisfaction, since (with the 45mm f1.8 for example) churns out RAW in very "standard" colors without chromatic aberrations, white lights neither hot nor cold, deep black and not disturbed, everything up to 1600 ISO impeccably, in short I would say perfect to work then in posts without "killing yourself". I recommend shooting fHD a50p videos, the 24p of the 4K although of superb quality is fine only in case of quite "quiet" videos where the framed subjects move little or nothing, otherwise you will start to notice the vintage film effect. Defects? I discovered from the original Samsung site that the additional viewfinder exists... but it's nowhere to be found. For the rest I keep it and I am particularly jealous, since my classmates with the money I spent, yes are bought only an EOS 2000d that does not have a quarter of the performance of this flagship, unfortunately but without future...

Pros: much technological

Cons: image quality

Opinion: I'm not a professional but I tested the Samsung NX500 and an entry level DSLR like the Nikon D3200 could be a first lens has no comparison, mirorless cmq has a picture quality far below any setting than the DSLR. Even at ISO 400 the grain is remarcabile, with DSLR in 1600 the grain even though this is a different story.

Pros: Great shots, daytime, sports and night, excellent recoveries shadows and lights, noise almost nonexistent up to 8000 ISO, spectacular video in 4K, very long-lasting battery, you can also recharge with usb then attack with portable batteries, control the phone with wifi, formidable sensor

Cons: Cons I have not found, perhaps the lack of an electronic viewfinder, but the display has high brightness and definition.

Opinion: I possess for a year, I decided to change to improve, but at present I consider the best mirrorless in circulation, almost 30mpx APSC sensor, comes 100frame for videos, things that other machines of more value to arrive 30frame per second, lightweight easily transportable it has nothing to envy than a semi-professional SLR. The files are full of details, and post-production for me is minimal or non-existent, is a machine that I appreciate every day, only sore point is the difficulty of buying lenses at a good price, for the rest I am very satisfied.

Pros: Superb quality of the file, sharpness and detail, good processability of raw high ISO, AF performance, burst, connectivity, touch, etc.

Cons: No viewfinder, build quality good but not excellent

Opinion: Good in everything, even in the price. After it I also NX1, which works better at high ISO, in gust and in the AF that is fulmineo.rnUn concentration of quality and technology in the palm of a hand, although in low brightness sometimes the AF is not the maximum. Absolutely recommended for those who want everything at a very competitivo.rnP.s. to match the fixed (16, 30, 45, 60 and 85) ... Extraordinary!

Cons: divestment by Samsung.

Opinion: simply the best mirrorless ever had and I tried them all, oly, fuji, sony.6400 iso stratospheric shooting in raw and opening it with the raw converter Samsung (free) .Dettaglio extraordinary thanks to generous mpx.Zoom kit must-have making the coupled small as a compact but with a quality gap abissale.Non even want to think about the performance with optical fissern
