After owning the Samsung NX1000 for two years (an entry-level mirror-less system camera), I was looking for a similar camera with faster response time and even better picture quality...quality that would approach a high-end DSLR camera. The NX500 is that camera for me. Its way faster than my NX1000. Even though I save both RAW and JPEG, I never end up waiting to take the next picture. It's also a step up in quality over the NX1000 (which also produce very good pictures.) With the 16-50mm Power Zoom lens with Optical Image Stabilization (OIS), I'm getting the higher quality pictures that I want. While both cameras have APS-C sensors, the NX500 is a BSI version and produces very nice low-light pictures using ISO up to 6400. I've recently been very happy with pictures I've taken outdoors at night of Christmas lighting on shops along streets in Breckenridge CO, using the Shutter mode at 1/40 sec and letting the camera choose the ISO (usually about 3200). I've also been very happy with using the Aperture mode at about F11 for daytime scenery shots that keep most of the view in focus. I'm definitely looking forward to trying this camera with the NX30 primary lens which also has very good reviews. I'm already very close to the quality I want the 16-50mm lens and believe the 30mm should get me the rest of the way there! It might not quite reach the level of my friends Canon 7D, but it's close and I'm not willing to carry that much weight around!Read full review

Camera is very versatile. Love the capability to control the camera from Apple or android phone so I’m not left out of photos! Can also send photos directly to phone without a pc. The standard lens is superb and has manual focus options. You also have total control over your aperture and shutter if you’re an enthusiast. There is also options for touch up of photos taken to give them a nice crisp look. Overall camera is a must! Price when comparing to the competitors won’t break the bank either. Quality of photos, phenomenal!
