In this in-depth NX500 Field Test I'll cover my impressions with the camera's ergonomics, design and build quality, having never shot with an NX-series camera aside from the NX1. I brought along an NX300 and had access to an NX1 on the trip so that I could compare design improvements as well as see how this new compact mirrorless camera holds up to its bigger brother.
Not only did I have an opportunity to shoot a wide variety of subjects in various lighting conditions, I also had a chance to shoot with a full array of Samsung lenses to fully get a sense of the performance and image quality chops. To get some serious hands-on time with the new NX500, Samsung invited a group of press out for a once in a lifetime shooting event on the Big Island of Hawaii.
