This review is from: Samsung NX10 - Digital camera - prosumer - 14.6 Mpix - With 18-55mm Lens - supported memory: SD, SDHC - blackI did a wide range of test shots recently and was quite impressed, though I found the sensor to be quite noisy. For this reason, I see no advantage over the emerging Micro four-thirds format, which I can see having greater staying power than this camera with its mostly proprietary lenses. The included lens in this kit, however, is quite versatile.The real problem is if you want to rely on this camera for video as well. In ideal conditions, the video looks quite good. Taking advantage of the large sensor and selection of lenses should put you ahead of most consumer grade camcorders. There are very few controls, though. There are also audio sync problems and file clipping issues that are not addressed in the firmware update at this time. This has been a deal-breaker for me as I wanted to eliminate the camcorder. Were it not for this, I'd rate it 4 stars and would've kept the camera.
This review is from: Samsung NX10 - Digital camera - prosumer - 14.6 Mpix - With 18-55mm Lens - supported memory: SD, SDHC - blackI purchased this camera a couole weeks ago along with a 50-200MM zoom.The camera feels great ( i have large hands), is easy to use, and the menu system works well.Pictures in automatic (smart) mode are sharp, although in lower light conditions it will tend to lower the shutter speed before increasing iso.Be sure to update the latest firmware available from samsung website.Some settings in menu are only available for particular shooting conditions, for example if you want to put it in raw mode, then be sure to set the dial to Apature first. In a way this makes sense because raw is only available when not using the smart mode, such as apature priority, but it can be an intial stumbling block when first setting the camera up - once you understand this premise then the rest is very smooth sailing.I have not tried video yet, however from what i have read, like many cameras with video built in, the quality is excelent when camera movement is not needed, but falls apart for action shots in the artifacts introduced. Also there is no external microphone jack so sound quality will be sub-par. If video is important, then the panasonic G series would be a better choice, but better yet would be a dedicated video camera.The senseor is 50% large in size than the panasonic g-series with 20% additional pixels. What that means is that there is 30% more area of the on each pixel for bringing in light, and thus more headroom for improvement. I am sure over the months Samsung will tweak their alogrithms to take better advantage of this.On time is excelent, as well as processing time; of course raw is going to take a bit longer.Be sure to get yourself a good quality card for the camera.I can carry the camera with the 18 -55 kit lens and the 50-200 zoom (300mm film equivilant) in a zeikos bag with only a 9 inch main compartment -that is the reason for getting a camera like this. It is not a studio replacement, but not intendended to be - for everything else it is fun and far better than a point and shoot if you know how to use it.
This review is from: Samsung NX10 - Digital camera - prosumer - 14.6 Mpix - With 18-55mm Lens - supported memory: SD, SDHC - blackI was previously a user of DSLR and i got bored of the size of the DSLR camera after using it for some time. Then i found out from my friend that Samsung actually produces a camera called NX-10 which has exactly the same sensor size for DX type DSLR camera. It just took me less than 30 minutes at the shop to decide that this is the right camera for me and let me explain why. Like i said, first of all, i really like the size of this camera, it's not as small as some of the compact point and shoot camera, but it's not as big as the DSLR either. That makes it very easy to tug this small camera into a normal bag without ever needing to carry another separate bag just for DSLR. And next, besides the size, this camera can actually produce pretty good pictures! Yes! with available light at the shop, i took a couple of pics and they all look pretty sharp and amazing! By the way, the unit i tested was using the 35mm f2 pancake lens, i am not sure how the performance will be using the normal kit lens but using the supplied 35mm f2 pancake lens, this camera can really produce pretty neat images! So i am not really going to talk a lot more about other stuff because i think these two main points should be the real reason why you should get this camera, great performance at small size, you won't even feel burden with carrying it around unlike the big chunky DSLR camera.Now, on the negative side, th...
