Aloha! We go shooting with Samsung’s new NX500
The Samsung NX500 is essentially a scaled down version of Samsung’s flagship NX1. It uses the same 28MP BSI-CMOS sensor, advanced hybrid AF system, and DRIMe V processor as the NX1, with the main differences being the design (rangefinder vs SLR), burst mode (9 vs 15 fps), and viewfinder (none vs electronic). We’ve been using a production NX500 for a couple of days, and we’ve put together a gallery of real-world samples. We’ll update this gallery with some converted Raw files as soon as possible.
