Samsung NX100

There is a lot to like about the NX100. It does offer the promised hybrid approach, combining many of the advantages of a point and shoot (simplicity, portability) with those of an SLR (lens interchangeability, manual control). But it is also an...

Today we are taking a look at Samsung's "middle ground" camera, the NX100. This camera is what is known as a mirrorless interchangeable lens camera meaning that it does not use the mirror system of a regular DSLR to display an exact image of what the...

iFunction, mirrorless feature, interchangeable lens ; great image quality and functionality

No built-in flash, fragile camera body ; price as high as micro four thirds

The Samsung NX100 is mostly ideal for taking photos in events, where the camera’s fast functionality and capability to keep up with the fast changes in setting and environment is highly valued. Although it can compete with micro four third cameras, the...

Images look crisp and colorful on the 3-inch Active-Matrix Organic Light-Emitting Diode display, as does the menu system which is clear and easy to navigate. Text and number readouts look great on the LCD screen as well, particularly the shutter speed,...

innovative i-Function lens ; intuitive interface and fast AF ; visually appealing output

more noise than average APS-C sensor ; no manual exposure control for video ; average continuous shooting

The Samsung NX100 makes a compelling option for photographers looking to travel with all the benefits of their DSLR camera (image quality, control, and lens options) minus the weight and burden of a much larger camera system. In most regards the NX100...

Decent color accuracy; Modestly good noise at low ISOs

No viewfinder or flash; Unimpressive white balance

We found ourselves saying “does not” a lot while writing this review. The NX100 does not include a flash, the NX100 does not include a viewfinder to bolster the weak daylight performance of the AMOLED screen. The NX100 does not have a grip, so you...
