Questions & Answers

Shopper : is there a way to connect an external microphone to the NX500??
Shopper : is there an adapters to use canon lenses??MICHAEL R : Ah, perhaps if you simply did a Google search you would find the answer. The NX Cameras use what is called an "NX Mount" I found many results on the web for an NX to Canon adapter.MATTHEW K : Only "cold" adapters, meaning no electrical connection. That means autofocus and image stabilization will not work. The lens will be completely manual. Keep in mind that if you have a lens that has an electronically controlled aperture with no physical aperture control on the lens (most new canon lenses are like this) that you need to get a lens adapter that has a manual aperture control ring on it. Like this One <a href="http://www.adorama.com/FDEOSIRISNXP.html?hotlink=t&svfor=5m&gclid=CJnw06iS8MoCFQetaQodo_EH2g" target="_blank">http://www.adorama.com/FDEOSIRISNXP.html?hotlink=t&svfor=5m&gclid=CJnw06iS8MoCFQetaQodo_EH2g</a>
ming y : does it have macro lense? auto focus lense?Neil B : Hi Michael, there is a 60mm f/2.8 macro lens for the NX cameras, which is comparable to a 92mm lens with the APS-C sensor on the NX500. The lens does have auto focus along with optical image stabilzation and a super sonic accuator, which makes the lens very fast and quiet. Here is the link for the lens <a href="http://www.adorama.com/isgnx60mi.html" target="_blank">http://www.adorama.com/isgnx60mi.html</a>ANDREW R : This camera is an interchangeable lens camera. While this kit includes an autofocus 16-50mm zoom lens, other lenses are available as additional purchases: <a href="http://www.adorama.com/ISG1224ANB.html" target="_blank">http://www.adorama.com/ISG1224ANB.html</a> <a href="http://www.adorama.com/ISGNX85I.html" target="_blank">http://www.adorama.com/ISGNX85I.html</a>

Ease of Use

The camera function control buttons KeyPad, Etc. are too small and very uncomfortable to use. I wish they were large enough for easy use.

Excellent compact camera for the money!

To start off I'm a Pro wedding/portrait photographer for over 4 years, as well as a filmmaker (weddings/business promo films) for 3. I'm also a camera enthusiast and have owned/used Canon, Nikon, Sony, Panasonic, Olympus, and Samsung. I currently own 2 Samsung NX1's and have used the NX500 for about a month now. The NX500 is a fantastic camera overall. Its positives greatly outweigh it few negatives. Its impressive that they took their flagship sensor from the NX1 and fit it into this smaller body. The image quality gets very close to full frame cameras and the BSI (back side illuminated) 28MP sensor is fantastic. Raw images are great up to 3200iso where as when I owned 2 full frame Canon 5d Mark2's the max I would go to is 1600 so that very impressive. The camera is built very well, much better than I thought for the price and I love the layout of the buttons and dials. There are two scroll wheels for your shutter speed and aperture just like on a full size DSLR/mirrorless camera so it makes it easy to use manual mode. If your coming down from fullsize camera or potentially getting on in the future this will give you a very good transition. The screen is the same from the NX1 and one of the very best I've seen. It's really high resolution and very sharp with great colors and viewing angles and the touch screen is very responsive, better than any other cameras touchscreen that I've used. The 4k video looks fantastic and is almost identical to the flagship NX1. I had to take two 4k stills from the images and zoom in 4x to see just a hair more detail in the NX1 that's double the price. There are a few compromises that had to be made to meet the price point and more so the size of this camera. There's not mic or headphone jack, and there's a crop and rec time limit for 4k video. Instead of offering a EVF they gave us a verticle flip screen which may be a big benefit for you, or a negative depending on your shooting style (I like it). I have a video review for the NX500 on my youtube channel where I go into detail with testing and examples for both photo and 4k video as well as a detailed comparison of the NX500 with a competitor the Panasonic LX100. Both these videos have links where you can download photo and video samples from the cameras. If your interested just do a search for Max Yuryev NX500 and you'll find them. If you're interested in a compact camera with interchangeable lenses that takes fantastic images and 4k video I would recommend this camera to you. Samsung's Pancake 30mm F2 lens is a great combo for this camera!

About Samsung NX500

Samsung NX500, combining industry-leading design and technology for everyday use, with the capabilities that professional photographers can rely on. Featuring advancedtechnology such as high resolution 28MP BSI APS-C sensors, 4K and UHD video recording, a best in class DRIMeV image processor, NX AF system III, and Samsung Auto Shot, the Samsung NX500 has the core functionality of the NX1 engineered into a portable and convenient size. Updated connectivity via Bluetooth and Wi-Fi provide users with an advanced wireless experience, as well as the ability to seamlessly shoot and share their captured experiences.

The NX500 guarantees superb image quality and vivid photographs, regardless of the shooting scenario or subject. With its ultra-high resolution 28MP Back Side Illumination APS-C sensor, NX500 has the ability to take the perfect shot, even in low light situations. It also supports both 4K and UHD video recording, utilizing BSI APS-C sensors, the largest BSI sensor currently available, which provides more flexibility when it comes to recording movies.

The built-in HEVC Codec, the most advanced compression technology available, brings efficiency to the storage of video clips by compressing high quality video to half the size and the bit rate of H.264 footage, without any compromise on quality. Additionally, still images captured from Interval Capture mode can easily be converted into a UHD Time-lapse video directly on the camera, without the need to transfer images to a PC.

The NX500 is equipped with a DRIMeV processor, which is much faster than its predecessor. This feature boasts superior color reproduction, improved noise reduction and enhanced image quality, providing users with results that serious photographers crave. Combined with an innovative 28MP sensor and Hybrid AF system, users can capture even the briefest of moments by simply focusing and shooting immediately, allowing for extreme speed and flexibility. Additionally, 9FPS continuous shooting means NX500 users can easily monitor and capture ongoing action shots. Further enhancing the NX500's action capture capability, the Samsung Auto Shot (SAS) feature uses motion detection to accurately predict when to capture the perfect shot in difficult scenarios, such as when a child fields a baseball.

The ergonomic design of the palm-sized NX500 allows users to carry the camera with a comfortable grasp at all times. With a Tilt and Flip up function, as well as bright vision through the display, users can easily take the perfect selfie. Also, the NX500 provides seamless wireless set-up with Wi-Fi, Bluetooth and NFC. With its outstanding data transfer speed and Bluetooth functionality, users can send both large images and video files swiftly to other smartphones and tablets.

  • DRIMe V Processor: The DRIMe V is Samsung's fastest, most powerful image processor yet. It has the speed, performance and accuracy for photos and video in a variety of shooting conditions.

  • Ergonomic Design: The NX500 fits beautifully in the palm of your hand, and features a slanted shutter button that is easy to press. It gives you the perfect combination of steadiness and ergonomics for great shots.
  • Tilt/Flip/Rotate Screen: You can tilt the 3-inch display 90° and rotate it 180°, and with a Full VGA AMOLED screen, you'll always see the shot clearly even outdoors in bright sunlight.
  • 9fps Continuous Shooting: With continuous shooting, you can capture a burst of images at 9 frames per second. And with the advanced AF system, it continuously focuses so you don't lose detail as the subject moves.
  • Fast 1/6000s Shutter Speed: Precious moments can come and go in an instant. With a fast shutter speed of 1/6000 of a second, the NX500 can freeze and capture fast moving subjects with clarity.
  • SO 100-25600: The NX500 shoots up to ISO 25600, making it very sensitive to light. That means you can take great shots in tricky lighting indoors or even outside at night, with minimal noise or blur.
  • Low Light Performance: Thanks to a truly innovative technology called Adaptive Noise Reduction, the NX500 is capable of producing crystal clear images virtually free of noise, evenset at a high ISO of 25600.
  • Time-lapsed Photography: Take time-lapse shots like a pro. Capture clouds moving or a flower blooming in high-res stills. You can adjust the interval between 1 second and 24 hours, and it even converts the stills to UHD quality video.
