Samsung NX1000

The set of features on the NX1000 are nearly as robust as Samsung’s new top-line NX cam, the NX20 (read our review here). The main differences come down to body design, as the NX1000 lacks some of the more sophisticated features like a built-in...

Sharp, compact kit lens. Good high ISO performance. Excellent Wi-Fi implementation. Sharp rear LCD

Slower performance. No EVF option. Lacks built-in flash

Great image quality for such high resolution, enough lenses to compete against the competition, good value without scrimping on the features

No viewfinder possible, inconsistent white balance, colours can lack punch, burst mode processing "lock out", poor battery life

By cutting back on the features the NX1000 is a price-aware compact system camera. But that doesn’t mean it scrimps on the good stuff: its 20.3-megapixel sensor is great, and we like the easy-to-use design. On the downside the battery life is fairly...
