Samsung NX100 review

 

Is the new Samsung NX100 a breakthrough in compact camera design?

Sturdy build quality ; Good lens ; iFunction controls ; Excellent AMOLED screen

Lens is not particularly fast ; Limited for wide-angle work ; No image stabilisation

The latest in Samsung's NX series of mirrorless interchangeable lens cameras, the NX100 boasts a 14-megapixel APS-C-format sensor, full HD video, a 3-inch AMOLED screen and a 20-50mm f/3.5-5.6 lens with focusing ring and Samsung's innovative new...

Samsung NX100

 

Samsung's latest NX100 is something of a curiosity: with no built in flash or viewfinder, it's entirely dependent on a low price point and the company's latest i-Function lenses to sell itself. Is the NX100 a step forward or two steps back for the...

Improved AF, affordable price point, great menu system, iFn lenses

No flash, no viewfinder, it is rather big, poor battery life

With no flash or viewfinder, the NX100 will have limited appeal to the mass market. The new iFn lens compatibility and improved autofocus are both great and the AMOLED screen certainly adds some distinct individuality.

Very compact for an APS-C camera, bags of functionality, great focusing functions and nice clear screen

Feels cheap and all wrong ergonomically

Samsung NX100 review

 

Superb controls squeezed into a small space, but poor image quality in low light is a significant flaw for a large-sensor camera.

Samsung NX100 review

 

Samsung's new NX camera increases the features but decreases the size. But is it enough to trump the Sony NEX-5?

A decent compact system camera, but the flaws mean it’s eclipsed by Sony and Panasonic rivals

Samsung NX100 review

 

The Samsung NX100 sits above the NX10 in Samsung's interchangeable lens camera line up and while it offers the same great image quality as the NX10, the NX100 lacks the built-in features that made the NX10 a five-star product. However, the NX100...

Samsung NX100

 

Il nuovo design della Samsung NX100 rivede drasticamente il concept “tipo reflex” di altre fotocamere compatte ad obiettivi intercambiabili, ed è un grosso passo avanti rispetto alle NX10/11 della casa. Cị la mette in concorrenza diretta con le altre...

Samsung NX100 review

 

The ergonomic differences between the NX100 and the NX10 are vast, and as such the NX100 is not a replacement but a more compact addition to the NX system. As far as style is concerned, the NX100 is a unique and elegant camera. However, the it lacks a...
