Is it nice? Nicer than Lumix GM1? Tempted...

have a review unit with me now (but with 9mm lens only)
GM1 still nicer in terms of image quality since this 1 just 1 inch sensor (same with Sony RX100, Nikon 1 series)

can check my blog for image sample http://www.jackieloi.com/2014/04/samsung-n...impression.html

I'm in love! NX Mini looks so chic and the price is just right
Yeah will read your review, thanks!

thanks for the review. it helps!

Welcome
But somehow I felt the camera still perform weak in low light

how does it compare to mirrorless sony A-5000?
Or Canon S120?

all quite similar price range although form factor is different..

never put side by side compare but if based on spec alone i'll say NX mini is in between them.
Sony A5000 has bigger sensor, naturally it'll have better low light performance while Canon S120 sensor are smaller than NX Mini

all 3 have their pros and cons, and i can't seem to decide.
NX mini is compact (with the pancake lens) but seems to suffer with alot of blur/handshake indoors due to no IS.
S120 is limited by its sensor size and more expensive than NX mini!
A5000 problem is portability.

I would like to try A5000 but unsure if I should just go for NX Mini/S120 for portability.

NX Mini will only seem portable with pancake lens which basically restrict u with 1 focal length if u r fine with it.
I guess in the end still depend what you use it for. S120 will be more versatile and compact but smaller sensor.
A5000 can't put in pocket but still can fit into bag easily or carry it (not that heavy)

yeah, i am more interested to compare the IQ of the cameras even though they are not comparable due to sensor size.
Will I gain much more going A5000 compared to NX Mini/S120?
If not, no point going for A5000 right?

mm personally i am fine with the 1 inch sensor in NX Mini. If i would complain any imperfect this cam it will be lack of IS in the 9mm lens and grip.

On the other hand, Sony has more lens compare with NX Mini. So if plan to invest on lens, Sony seem better choice
