Samsung NX100 review

The Samsung NX100 is an innovative camera, but not always a practical one. The compact interchangeable lens camera has a handsome and slim body, but you should hang on to it carefully because it doesn’t include a textured grip. Inside is a large APS-C image sensor that captures 14.6-megapixels of resolution. This means that you get the same sized sensor as in many standard DSLRs, but in a smaller overall package. Samsung designed a clever iFunction control system that lets you adjust some of the most common camera settings from controls on the lens itself. Yet, neither the 20-50mm kit zoom, nor the body, includes image stabilisation. There’s a smart system for automatic exposure selection, but no built-in flash.

When thinking about a NX100 as the next possible camera for you, the real question is, does innovation outweigh its shortcomings?

Gadget review: Samsung NX100

If you’re looking for a compact, lightweight alternative to a DSLR, Samsung NX100 will be ideal for you.


Riding on the success of NX10, Samsung’s first mirrorless camera, NX100 also comes with a mirrorless APS-C size sensor and a three-inch AMOLED screen, plus new features such as i-Function Lens.


Mirrorless cameras were one of the digital camera trends in 2010, and they are expected to grow this year as more companies jump on the bandwagon.


What makes them special is that even though you can still play with interchangeable lenses, the same as you do with a DLSR, mirrorless cameras are much smaller and lighter.


There’s no need to explain the technicalities behind the reduction in size and weight, but do take note that mirrorless cameras don’t come with a viewfinder — this means the main source for viewing your photograph subjects is through the rear LCD or AMOLED screen.

COMPUTERS

In the weeks preceding January's reveal of the Sliding PC 7, more than 300 news items were posted about the 10.1-inch tablet computer, which touts a unique--and polarizing--slide-out keyboard. Today, "there's a very distinct split between people who are pro-Samsung and anti-Samsung," says Chris Davies, an editor at the tech blog SlashGear, "which feels very Apple."

SEMICONDUCTORS

A quarter of Samsung's revenue comes from semiconductors, bought by the likes of Dell, HP, and Microsoft, so it "has some shielding from the market," says Forrester analyst Charles Golvin. This also gives Samsung the freedom (and the cash) to toy with different technologies--Windows Phone 7, smartphones for Symbian, and Android OS, for instance--so when one of those takes off, it's ready with a top-of-the-line product.

Samsung NX100 review

The NX100 is part of a new breed of camera – so new in fact that no one seems to agree on what to call them. They’re defined by pocket-sized dimensions, large SLR-style sensors and interchangeable lenses.

The NX100 joins these ranks, already populated by the superb Sony NEX-5, plus various models from Panasonic and Olympus. It also has much in common with the Samsung NX10, sharing lenses with it, but this new model’s compact- rather than SLR-shaped design makes more sense for this type of camera.

Samsung NX 100 Test

CONCLUSION:
So this is a fantastic camera. It takes pretty stunning photos for what it is, and the 'i" feature on the standard lens is just a life saver. I can adjust the Apeture, ISO, and shutter speed in an instant. The video is also very good for the purpose most would have for it. I enjoy this camera, and while this doesn't have any footage or video with it, I also tried out the pancake lens, and it's focusing is very nice, the macro just feels great. Will enjoy using this camera.

PS: All was taken with standard lens, and a samsung attachable flash (for the pictures).

Clay House 13. The Ugly Duckling

Today’s clay is about The Ugly Ducking. This character is familiar to not only kids, but also adults

I reinterpreted the ugly duckling from my view. After finishing drawing, I was eager to see the result of work.

The little duck is going fishing. He looks not ugly anymore. Does he?

I’m satisfied with today’s clay and feel so great. ;)

Duck, he isn’t ugly anymore. :)
