Samsung NX1 Review

 

Samsung has been pretty inventive in the digital camera world. It was the first to offer an really extensive Wi-Fi system (which continues to this day), Android-based cameras (though Nikon launched a model at about the same time), and arguably the...

28.2 MP backside illuminated sensor Hybrid AF system with phase-detect points covering 90% of frame 153 cross-type AF points with industry-leading frame coverage Mostly effective subject tracking High quality 4K video performance 4K 4:2:2 8-bit video...

Lens family is limited at this time Best AF performance limited to select lenses Autofocus is less predictable in low light Overly aggressive Jpeg noise reduction No true live view during burst shooting Noisy high-ISO video Onerous procedure for...

It's not uncommon for us to review a camera whose intent is to challenge an existing market leader. Samsung seems to have taken this tactic to the extreme with the NX1, not with the intent of challenging a market leader, but with the intent of...

Samsung NX1 review

 

Samsung has been making dSLR-style mirrorless interchangeable-lens models for years, but like many competitors they've suffered from performance issues. The company finally steps up its game with the NX1, a high-performance, high-quality camera that...

The Samsung NX1 is fast, well-designed, weather resistant and feature-packed, and it produces great photos and videos.

There's no charger included, and USB charging takes longer than we'd like. Plus, it could use tracking autofocus when you're shooting via the viewfinder.

Fast, sturdy, well-designed and with excellent photo quality, the Samsung NX1 hits all the bases for action-shooting enthusiasts.

Samsung NX1

 

The Samsung NX1 has it all: quick focus, 28-megapixel resolution, 4K video, Wi-Fi, and a weather-sealed design. It's our Editors' Choice for high-end mirrorless cameras.

Best-in-class sensor resolution. 15fps continuous shooting. Sharp EVF. Tilting touch-screen LCD. 1/8,000-second shutter. Strong high ISO performance. Weather-sealed design. Monochrome information LCD. Great control layout. Dual-band Wi-Fi and Bluetooth...

Burst shooting limited in Raw mode. 4K footage requires transcoding for editing and computer playback. Bluetooth functionality for Android only. Doesn't include external charger.

Performance and Conclusions The NX1 is built for speed. It starts and shoots in less than 0.8-second, locks focus and fires in about 0.05-second, and can rattle off shots at about 14.7fps. A shutter that can open and close at speeds as quick as...
