Samsung EX1 review in Digital cameras

Another of those fashionable SLD (single lens, direct view) cameras? Not quite. The EX1 still qualifies as a compact camera, lacking interchangeable lenses and sporting a small 1/1.7in CCD image sensor. Nonetheless its design and features borrow heavily from the new genre.

It's quite the thing these days to bring out a fixed-focal-length, wide-angle and highly compact "pancake" lens for your SLD. Samsung is following stylistic suit by kitting out the EX1 with a very compact lens giving a 24mm equivalent wide-angle setting. It's not interchangeable like an SLD's, but what it does offer is a very fast f/1.8 - f/2.4 maximum aperture to go with a 3x zoom range.
The rest of the body is relatively chunky though, in particular its 114mm width. And there's a big disadvantage compared to true SLD cameras such as the Olympus PEN range and Panasonic Lumix G2. You don't get the advantage of a big Four Thirds sensor here, with the standard compact camera size offering a total area almost six times smaller than a Micro Four Thirds sensor.

Samsung PL210 Review

Point-and-shoot cameras aren't known for high caliber zooming capabilities, but Samsung is announcing two new pocket-sized cameras aimed at customers who love capture images from afar. The cheaper of the two, the sub-$200 PL210, features a 14-megapixel image sensor behind a 10x optical zoom (35mm film equivalent: 27-270mm) lens. Housed in a compact, pocket-friendly casing, the PL210 offers dual image stabilization (digital and optical) and a large 3.0-inch LCD screen.

Like Samsung's other models in the PL series, the PL210 features a suite of filter and image processing technologies. Smart Filter 2.0 is mood-enhancement software with specially designed "looks" (soft focus, half tone dot, old movie, and enhanced movie) for both still images and HD 720p (30fps) movie recording. Smart Auto mode analyzes key elements of your shots -- brightness, color, motion, etc. -- and adjusts the camera settings automatically.

Samsung NX11 review

Compact system camera is a minor refinement, but handles well
 

The 14.6 effective megapixel Samsung NX11 upgrades the original NX10 (read our review here), with some refining design tweaks and additional lens compatibility, a 20mm ‘pancake’ plus 20-50mm zoom,launched alongside it. But although it is a compact system camera (or CSC) like its predecessor it still takes its style cues from a conventional bridge camera or digital SLR, rather than a pocket compact.

Samsung NX11 review(2)

Can the Samsung NX11 reinvent the hybrid camera category or is it much the same as the previous NX10 model but repackaged? We first got our hands on the Samsung NX11 back in January, where an extensive play with the latest hybrid or compact system camera showed us little advances over the previous NX10 model rather than a giant leap forward...

Top advanced compacts for enthusiasts

Advanced compact cameras have always been popular with professional users and serious hobbyists alike. Not only do they provide a significant step-up in image quality, they also feature manual controls that allow users to exercise more creative control over their images. Such cameras typically come packed with a larger image sensor that allows for enhanced image quality in low-light conditions, RAW image capture and fast f1.8 to f2.0 apertures. Some of these snappers even come with hotshoes that allow shutterbugs to attach external flash units or electronic viewfinders. If you're looking to go light without sacrificing on image quality, you might want to check out our round-up of the latest advanced compacts below.

Samsung NX11: una mirrorless che si fa “sentire”

Samsung NX11 review

Samsung NX11 Test foto's : We hebben onze handen weten te leggen op een van de eerste samples van de nieuwe Samsung NX11 systeem camera. The Samsung NX11 camera is net voor de start van ’s werelds grootste en belangrijkste Consumer Electronic Show gelanceerd en volgt de Samsung NX10 op die tijdens de afgelopen CES 2010 werd geïntroduceerd. De Samsung NX11 wordt standaard uitgerust met een 18-55mm i-Function lens waarmee het voor fotografen mogelijk wordt, op natuurlijke wijze je linkerhand gebruiken om de settings te veranderen op de intuïtieve i-Function lens. De Samsung digitale camera blijft dan gewoon gericht op het onderwerp. De Samsung NX11 heeft een APS-C sensor om een hoge kwaliteit foto en video te garanderen.

Samsung DualView PL170, cámara de doble pantalla para los mejores autorretratos

 
La Samsung DualView PL170 es una de esas cámaras pensadas para hacer más divertida la fotografía. Tiene una segunda pantalla en la parte delantera, de 1,5 pulgadas de diagonal, diseñada para que los autorretratos queden perfectamente encuadrados. Si le parece un uso un poco ridículo de una cámara, probablemente tenga que preguntar a su hijo/a qué es una “foto tuenti”.
 

Pero la Samsung DualView PL170 no es sólo una cámara para hacer autorretratos en las noches de juerga. Tiene un sensor de 16,1 megapíxeles, y un zoom óptico de cinco aumentos. Suficiente, pero un poco corto en comparación con otras cámaras de su segmento. Es la hermana pequeña de la Samsung DualView PL170, de la que sólo se diferencia en las pantallas: en la PL170, la delantera es más pequeña y la trasera no es táctil.

Spring is coming to Canterbury

Samsung Electronics Co., Ltd. has provided the author of this article
with the mentioned digital imaging device.

Hello there! Nice to meet you! I am EU. I live in Canterbury, located
southeast of the UK. I’ve been staying here for about 20 days now, getting used
to the new culture and new life. I am excited to share my adventures in the UK
with many of you with the
Samsung EX1. A new world viewed through the Samsung EX1! You can look
forward to some interesting and fun stories.

Samsung EX1 │ 1/500s │ f4.9 │ 9mm │ ISO 80

This past week’s weather was typical UK weather. At last the rain stopped,
leaving room for a warm and cozy sunlight and a clear blue sky. Although the
wind was still chillier then one might expect with the radiant sunlight and all,
I decided to visit the Greyfriars Garden near my place to get a full feel for
the upcoming spring.

Samsung EX1 │ 1/180s │ f3.8 │ 9mm │ ISO 80

Canterbury (Kent Country- located at 85km southeast of London) is a small
town, nothing like London, with a unique warmth and comfort not easily found
elsewhere.

Samsung EX1 │ 1/500s │ f3.9 │ 5mm │ ISO 80

The cold breeze diminished the feeling of spring, but the green leaves and
purple petals appeared to be whispering ‘spring is here!’

Samsung EX1 │ 1/180s │ f4.3.4│ 5mm │ ISO 80

This somewhat lonely and deserted bench will become ever busy in April when
people flock to the park to enjoy the spring weather.

Samsung EX1 │ 1/250s │ f4.9 │ 16mm │ ISO 80

This picture is of a grandfather gazing at his grandchild who is sitting in
a stroller drinking milk. What a lovely scene! It seemed like they were
observing the Narcissus in yellow blossom along the river fence and enjoying the
spring just like me.

Have you ever heard of ‘punting’? It refers to cruising down the river on a
boat called a ‘punt.’ Punting was mostly used for hunting or fishing in the
past, but is now mostly used for tourists. The Cambridge area is especially
famous for punting. Punting also exists in Canterbury and because the river
flowing through Greyfriars Garden is not deep, it is the best place for punting.
A couple was idly riding down the river, having a peaceful afternoon. It was a
nice match with the spring weather.

Samsung EX1 │ 1/500s │ f5.1 │ 11mm │ ISO 80

At Canterbury, you can find both winter and spring…just like a falling leaf
and flower petals. Soon the leaves will all disappear and give way to green
leaves and blossoming flowers. Approaching spring is welcoming, but I already
miss the fading winter.

Firmware Updates for NX10 and NX100

Samsung Electronics Co., Ltd, a global leader in digital media and digital
convergence technologies announced firmware upgrades for two products within
Samsung’s NX compact system camera range – the NX100 and NX10 on April 18th 2011 in Seoul
Korea.

The firmware upgrades for NX100 and NX10 will give a unified user
experience for the full NX range and provide enhanced features for existing
customers.

Following the availability of the innovative i-Function lens feature on both
models, the latest upgrades are set to make the cameras even more convenient for
the photographer to use, bringing added value to Samsung’s NX range customers
and putting the perfect picture at their fingertips.

Here are the improvements in NX10 (v1.30) and NX100 (v1.10)
Firmwares

1. The Panorama function is added (in the Scene Mode menu).
2. New
18-55(II) mm, 50-200(II) mm, and 18-200 mm i-Function lenses are supported (in
addition to the OIS menu).
3. The algorithm of Video AF is improved, and the
low contrast in the AF function is increased.
4. By default, the Video AF
mode is set to CAF.

The firmware upgrade also makes these functions faster and quieter than ever,
giving photographers the ability to take noise-free, professional-looking still
images and movies with ease.

In addition, through the upgraded firmware, the NX100 and NX10 now provide the i-Function
setting help guide via the camera’s display, as available on the recent NX11
model. The feature helps users take impressive shots more easily by guiding
users with explanations on different functions of the i-Function lens.

Mr. Hyunho Chung, Executive Vice President and Head of the Digital Imaging
Business, Samsung Electronics, commented: “We continually look for ways to
improve the photography experience, to make it more fun and add value for our
customers. The latest upgrade is reflective of this. Users of the NX system
already benefit from key features such as compact portability of the devices,
and innovations like the i-Function lens. Through ongoing developments, we hope
to offer even more to enable photographers of all levels to get the best results
and professional-looking pictures every time. We look forward to announcing a
number of additional developments in the future to make the NX range even easier
for our customers to use.”

The upgrades will be available from April 18, 2011 for all NX100 and NX10 customers to download at www.samsung.com.

Two Weekends, Two Places

Samsung Electronics has provided the author of this article with the mentioned digital imaging device.

For last two weekends, I was invited in other places by near people. On the first weekend, I made a visit to my friends living in Rennes. Rennes is one of the most beautiful cities in France, which has been the capital of Brittany region for ages. The city was a cultural nucleus for people in Brittany kingdom, when isn’t yet integrated as a part of France. Still there is many beautiful gothic and medieval architectures over the entire city, but now is more coming to fame for students, of which 30% of the total population are students.

The river cutting through calm of the city and old statues along historical monuments has completely fascinated me. I also had good moments in my friends’ apartment. That was an excellent weekend in an atmosphere preferably peaceful.

Samsung NX10 │ 1/1250s │ f3.5 │ 18mm │ ISO 1600

Samsung NX10 │ 1/10s │ f3.5 │ 18mm │ ISO 800

On the other weekend, I went to visit my grandmother. She welcomed me so delightfully as usual. She lives in a typical medieval village with old stone-built houses, just like from a fairy tale, where we can also see many impressive wooden-decorated buildings from a street to another. My grandmother and I had an outing under a clear sky. It was really pleasant.

Samsung NX10 │ 1/30s │ f18.0 │ 18mm │ ISO 100

Samsung NX10 │ 1/25s │ f22.0 │ 45mm │ ISO 100

Samsung NX10 │ 1/180s │ f10.0 │ 30mm │ ISO 100

Next weekend, I’ll be in a new city, where I’m supposed to stay for my work at least over a year. I’m so glad to have had the chance to obtain this position. I wish to see you then and talk about my new life !
