Samsung NX10 Review by DC.Watch, Japan

Following is a user review from DC.Watch in Japan.

http://dc.watch.impress.co.jp/docs/review/special/20100218_349586.html

I used a Google translation into English as below.
You may get some information about Samsung's NX10 digital camera.
======== Translation from tranlate.google.com ================


Excluding the Epson R-D1x, APS-C products with current CCD-lens equivalent size, the Samsung NX10 is the only mirror-less aircraft. PMA 2009 showed a mock-up in February (originally known as NX), January's International CES in 2010 and then formally announced the release in. As of January, "The three international debut in February," said the schedule had been reported.

But by January 23, ahead of Samsung NX10 only sold in Korea. Released in Japan and it's still undecided, and if it tried to obtain the actual Sassoku in Seoul. Here is a tentative, to deliver a brief report it using the actual equipment. Later, reports are scheduled by the photographer. The trial NX10 details about the previously released "Samsung, APS-C sensor NX10 exhibit mirror-less aircraft" would like to see.

NX10 and was purchased by itself, this three interchangeable lenses. Replacement lenses, pancake-style SAMSUNG LENS 30mm F2, the zoom lens SAMSUNG ZOOM LENS 18-55mm F3.5-5.6 OIS, a telephoto zoom lens SAMSUNG ZOOM LENS 50-200mm F4-5.6 ED OIS's. Buy now will support all of the lens.

You bought the city of Seoul's Yongsan electronics store gathering. There are some stores attract private buildings, one of which was purchased by February 12 all day. Total purchase price is 155 million won. About using credit cards that charge an additional 10 percent is 1.66 million won in 1000. ¥ 0.07 won one (for example, the exchange rate at the time of writing) is calculated at about 6,270 will be 110,000 yen.

The dressing is the way the Sandisukuburando SD Memory Card (2GB) that came with that. Department can not use the charger connector type C in Japan. In addition, HDMI cables, of course, AV cable did not come with even more surprising. Korea to purchase, a description is only within the scope of representation is expected Hangul.

■ overwhelmingly thin body
NX10 surprised to see first, then a camera with interchangeable lenses, the body will feel extremely thin depth. Projection of the apron less so, and the SLR-style body is familiar, take a very different impression. LUMIX DMC-G1 Maikurofosazu aircraft close to the first shock when I saw that the people of the NX10 makes extensive use of curved surfaces, also have a strong impact of the thinnest. The plastic surface of the body but they feel a sense of well-built material thickness. The surface roughness is clear, I felt a sense of actually touching a high of more than expected.



Pamugurippu Department, the Olympus E-410 and E-420 design reminiscent of a low-key. Or because the body itself is thin, such as bites, special sweets, but the overhang in unexpectedly good fit in the hand. Well with the Rubber Ball is the biggest lens 50-200mm F4-5.6 at this time even when mounted, is felt unstable.

The rear is equipped with three organic EL also noteworthy. Tile Pen (Pen tile) 610,000 4,000 fonts and method utilizing high-resolution dot-smooth, beautiful view with various gradient. Speaking of the domestic manufacturers, α550 quality and close to say. High-resolution EVF.

■ fast enough AF. Mirror-less aircraft are agreeable lightness
30mm F2 and 18-55mm F3.5-5.6 AF turned on the speed of the state, DMC-GH1 + LUMIX G VARIO 14-45mm F3.5-5.6 ASPH. MEGA OIS from the same or slightly slower or much. But in any case, the contrast AF speed will be a practical and well thought of. Nevertheless, as machine Maikurofosazu the current level of motion is strong and not say what.

Characteristic of the interface is set up in the green button at the top right hand box seat. Exposure compensation, AF target location, and fine-tune white balance, various buttons will revert to the initial values of the parameters of a single button. AF, especially after moving the position of the target, and is reversible in the middle with a single convenient. Panasonic's most DMC-GH1/G1 also reversible delete button in the center between the bottom-placed buttons and a cross. However, Samsung would put it right next to the shutter button is interesting.

Is strongly they felt uncomfortable with, feel the shutter button. Entry digital SLR cameras in general - and a middle class, the middle one plays in the resistance, "half press" → "push all" get the feel of the stage two. The NX10 is purchased, the weak resistance in one-half times before the press. Or "half pre-press" → "half press" → "push all" and it's a feeling. Resistance and the second one is very weak, although it has taken some time to get used to. These will be some sense of individual differences, not good when you press a little harder pressed halfway, but you get used in practice should be fine.

Since this is only a one-day trial for a more quality feel and want to avoid the issue. If a snap-shooting, but as the size and response, you are used to the DMC-GH1 could use in almost the same sense, though. DMC-GF1 and E-P2 is compact enough, although not different from entry-class digital SLR camera gives the sense of a unique light.

Personally felt the NX10 attractive, but have no access point or warranty in Japan, and what to do if the funding comes the new lenses and new accessories, there are some annoying parts. Lack of interchangeable lenses and at the moment, I would feel uneasy about their future. The later, more detailed report will be published by the photographer.

New equipment and new opportunities.

The longer I’m using NX10 the more I like it!
I miss the macro lens or some big zoom, but whatever I have much pleasure from what I use.

Winter Examination Session – cold, cold time!

As usual, during january my life became huge, messy circous. I’ve slept 2 – 3 hours per natural day, from coffe to coffe, from text to text, at least – from exam to exam.


But when you’ll be living like that over couple weeks, it makes your day longer of night half. Sometimes I think that I could be a vampire :) Night is a time of special imagination attitude too. Every of my writing master piece was making at night. Although I’ve been preapering to exams this days, I’ ve also formed my great bachelor work.


Now, I’m analysing the blogging phenomenon, and its democratic features, which we all create at this moment wheather we are author or reciver of this blog.


And because of this, you could watch my session habits:

Don’t miss ST550(TL225)

01 Rirakuma who enjoys taking a self shot got a new camera!


Samsung camera gave me a good opportunity to experience the ST550(TL225) that will be launched at the end of August. I had only a heavy DSLR, so I wished I had a compact digital camera. I’m so excited to have this perfectly precious camera. Shall we now take a look at the ST550(TL225)?



1. Small size! Simple design!


The new powerful compact digital camera, ST550(TL225)


There are not many included as it is a pre-product: USB port and charger.


02 Like usual compact digital cameras, it is a small, simple and sophisticated design. The weight is 165.7g! The size is also superior: 99.8mm x 59.8mm x 18.6mm. Easy to grab it with one hand – edgy mini-size.


03


Look from the above. Isn’t it so slim?04The entire surface of the camera is of glossy material: Shiny Shiny! Although fingerprints are easily left, this glossy feeling may be one of the charms the ST550(TL225) has.05The operating buttons are also so simple that I having no sense of machine could figure them out right away.  06




2. Digital Camera for Self Shot?


World’s First Dual LCD! ST550(TL225)


If you want me to choose the most superior feature of the ST550(TL225), it must be the world’s first dual LCD.  If you look at the camera without turning it on, you may wonder “where is the LCD on the front? But…


07


If you press the full touch screen to turn the front LCD on,  08The LCD hidden on the front of the shiny and glossy camera appears. Rirakuma who is not good at taking a self shot doesn’t have to take a face cutting self shot.


Looking at the LCD with the best looking angle, Click!


09


You can also check it out on the wide full touch screen of 3.5 inch and 1.15 M pixels.


10




3. 1.15 Mega-pixels and 3.5 inch wide full touch screen panel


Wide full touch screen together with dual LCD is the strength of the ST550(TL225)!


Tapping it to play with is so much fun.


If you draw a “X” mark on the LCD with your finger, the camera having a sensor to detect a movement will show you “Delete photo?” and in addition to this, there are lots of amazing and fun features like haptic one and etc.


I’ll explain to you those functions later.

I’m still working on it but some preview photos taken by the ST550(TL225)

The Most Compact Camcorder, HMX-U10

1. Point & Shoot Full HD CAM


1_01


Point & Shoot Full-HD Ultra slim Camcorder


Mobile phones? MP3 players? Recently, slim pocket HD camcorders have been getting more popular. They look different and weird, but allow users to carry them for all day long with a slim and cute design, great videos, and UCC sharing system. You don’t need to open a bag or things like that as you did with other camcorders. You can just take it out from your pocket and shoot. They are active and fast to shoot. There are some Point and Shoot HD camcorders in the world such as Flip from PB, Z series from Kodak, and Webbie from Sony. Especially, in the USA, these P&S HD camcorders are quite popular these days. It’s because its simplicity to shoot and share as a camcorder. Samsung also has started to produce a P&S camcorder with the HMX-U10 having 1/2.3” 10M sensor.




1920×1080p Full HD (30p)[Download the Original Link]




1920×1080p Full HD (30p)[Download the Original Link]


Compared with 1440×1080 30p or 720p of other camcorders, far more outstanding video quality of the U10 comes from the 1/2.3” 10M CMOS sensor. The U10 will be a leading product in the domestic market of the Full HD P&S camcorder, I think. Simply taking anything in a Full-HD quality and sharing with the U10. The Full-HD quality is quite surprising and vivid. The control of 10M still image and video shot is so easy with their separate buttons. Especially, the ergonomic design of 7 degree angle allows users very comfortable grip and the body is the slimmest among all the Full HD camcorders in the world.


1_04


1_05


Supporting 60 fps on 720p or 480p is impressive. Dual recharging type with USB and AC adapter, light weight, convenient sharing system with the built-in Intelli-Studio, and simple interface based on Full HD videos are remarkable. It’s a quite charming product as a P&S camcorder with great portability like a mobile phone and its quality.


1_06


Beyond the imagine, Full HD quality


1_07


You can’t look down it by looking at the small size. I expected the great quality by looking at the specification of the sensor, but the real quality of the Full-HD was as great as other normal camcorders. It’s a real Full HD video totally different from videos of 1440×1080 resolution. It has some functional limits such as no zoom and 1.3m of distance from subjects, but it’s not easy for you to see this great snap camcorder supporting high quality with light. Compared to the small size, it shows the best Full HD video quality.




1920×1080p Full HD[Download the Original Link]




1280×720p 60fps HD[Download the Original Link]


This product supports 4 resolutions such as (30fps), 1280×720p(60fps) 1280×720p(30fps) and 720×480p(60fps) in H.264 format saved as MP4 files. Let’s see how it looks like in 1080/30p version.




1080/30p[Download the Original Link]


In order to record in a great quality, you’d better use Full HD 1080/30p and 720/60p is not an interlace type, but fully scans 720p 60fps on a screen, so it allows the U10 to record active movies more smoothly and clearly. I don’t want to recommend lower resolutions much, because they are not very good in details and noise. You can record a video for 4 hours with a 32GB memory in 1080/30p Superfine. In 480/60p, you can record up to 24 hours. When it comes to the Slow Motion, it records in 120fps and plays at 1/2 of speed, so it’s good to watch active movies smoothly.


1_15


Detailed indoor videos without noise


I was surprised at the indoor video quality the most in the U10. Generally, these simple HD camcorders make blur or color noise for indoor videos. However, the U10 can record a good movie in a room or outdoors.

2. 10M Photo & Sharing


10.0 Mega Pixels Photo


One of the biggest advantages of the U10 is the 10 Mega pixels photo shot function. Looking at the buttons on the top, 3 buttons are located. They are Video, Photo, and Play buttons with the sun. You don’t have to change the mode from Video/Photo, but you can just shoot what you want with this convenient interface.


2_01


2_02





untitled-3


There are 6 sizes for pictures. Smaller size might give you slightly better detail, but I recommend 10M full size. It’s not easy for me to evaluate accurately, because it’s not an official product, but anyway, the quality is great enough to take a still shot from time to time while recording a video. Besides, compared with still images of high end camcorders, it’s better than them in some points, I think. For your reference, you can’t take a still shot while recording a video.


2_04


Due to the feature of the sensor, there’s some noise and saturation is kind of low, but it has great details. It’s better to take snap or scenery shots, since it has a limit of distance in shots.


2_05


2_06


Simple Upload, built-in Intelli-Stuido Software


Simple Uploading and sharing system is the most important part of the P&S camcorder. UCC camcorders like the U10 appeals to UCC users with how simply or easily it can upload and share files. Looking at the buttons of the U10, there’s a sharing mark on the right below. When playing, if you push the thumbnail or sharing button, the sharing mark comes up, and when connecting to a PC, it prepares the situation to allow you transfer files to web sites such as YouTube.


2_07


When connecting the U10 to a PC, Intelli-Studio automatically runs and the message ‘Upload is possible with the sharing button’ pops up. Pushing the sharing button on the U10, you can easily upload videos you set before.

Even if you don’t set the sharing to files to upload, you can upload files through the sharing in Intelli-Stuido to YouTube or Flickr. Transfer through an email is also possible. Intelli-Stuido is a sharing and editing software from Samsung allowing users to transfer files to PCs, watch videos, and edit them.

4. Uploading videos through the sharing


Full HD camcorder, easy and convenient to share


The sharing system of the U10 fits well with the concept recording, uploading and enjoying. Intelli-Studio consists of easy icons and the U10 camera has also easy interface to use as a Full HD camcorder. This is the most convenient and easiest camcorder to use among the P&S Full HD camcorders.

3. Ultra compact slim

Ultra Thin Stylish


The goal of the U10 is a trendy and stylish design based on high quality Full HD videos. First, it causes curiosity and delivers far better impression in the Full HD videos. It’s only 15.5mm thin except the lens. Due to the ergonomic design, it has 7 degree angle, but doesn’t harm the portability. It’s like a small size mobile phone.

5 colors


It comes with 5 colors such as black/silver/red/green/purple. The purple mode has been provided to Popconet for this review. The purple color is far deeper than I expected. The appearance is so luxurious with 2 tone colors by pearl feeling.


Unique Body line and Lens


The lens protrudes about 7 mm from the body. This protruding lens allows users to more comfortably control buttons with holding the underneath of the lens and the relatively large sensor made the lens protrude more. A funny thing is this protruding lens makes the body look thinner and cuter.

The lens shows the great combination of transparent acryl and chrome coating. The lens is F3.0 and angle is different depending on the size. Opening the cover on the sideward, component/AV port, USB port, and tripod hole are located and on the top, stereo microphones are located on the left and right side. In order to record voices more clearly, you should have some distance from a large speaker.


3_05_2


The direction of the tripod hole is kind of weird, but using the tripod connector included, the hole is rotated about 90 degree and fits well. It’s a little bit inconvenient, but good idea. Using a coin, you can tighten or lose the connector.

Touch Pad PUI with convenient interface


The control part is made of metal with luxurious hairlines and it creates more stylish design. Buttons can be controlled by Touch Pad PUI (Physical User Interface). It makes the design more stylish, but sometimes I used to mistakenly push another button.


3_07_1


Video and Photo shot buttons are located on the top of the buttons, and Play buttons is located in the center. Touch pad includes Return, Zoom In/Out, Left/Right, OK, and Sharing button. Below, a hand strap ring is located.

Opening the Memory card cover on the sideward, Power button, DC power port, and Memory card slot are located, and Power button is above. Pushing the power button for a while, it’s ready to take shots in 3 or 4 sec.


2.0” color LCD with vivid image quality


The vividness of the LCD is great. The lines of LCD and body are consistent. Viewing angle is not that good, but due to 7 degree angle body, you can watch it more comfortably. There’s not much noise even indoors, and the real image and image in the LCD are quite similar.

Ergonomic Grip, 7 degree angle lens


The body has 7 degree angle lens. It’s more comfortable than I expected. Actually, the 7 degree allows users the best shooting angle and to take more comfortable and stable shooting even for a long time.


It’s more comfortable if holding the protruding lens part with an index finger and controlling it with a thumb. These unique designs such as Active angle lens and the R10 can only be designed by Samsung.

Dual Type built-in battery


The battery can last about 90 min, so it’s not bad for a day. Actual performance was quite good considering the body size. In order to minimize battery consumption, you’d better use Auto power off and Auto LCD off functions. A built-in battery has some weakness like no spare battery or decrease of battery life as time goes by, but it makes a design much better and neater.


3_12


It takes 3 hours with an AC adaptor and 6 hours with a USB port to fully charge, so it’s very convenient.


4. Function


4_01


No problem with Self Shot


It has a short distance as 1.3m, but it’s possible to take a self shot. After taking self shots with the Full HD image, quality and harmony with background were quite good. You can make as many as UCCs possible.



Digital 4x zoom


It supports digital 4x zoom. The zoom is not supported for Full HD shots, but you can use it for 1280×720 and 720×480. Clicking and holding Up/Down/Touch buttons, zoom starts. More zoom causes lower detail, so just use it when you really need it.

Let’s get over shade with backlight compensation


Backlight compensation or Face recognition function is a basic function of a camcorder. The U10 can make dark or shaded parts brighter with the backlight compensation. It’s a necessary function used for both pictures and videos. It’s only good for backlight, so you need to turn it off after using it.

120fps Slow Motion


Slow motion function records a video in 320×240 120fps and plays it at a 1/2 speed to play rapidly moving subjects more smoothly. The size is quite small, but it’s useful when watching some fast movement or moving persons for fun.

Various effects


It supports various effects such as Black or White, Sepia, Reversion, and Art to record more emotional videos.


Intuitive and Simple menus


Menu is very simple. It’s easy to recognize and not complicated. Especially, when pushing the OK button, function option icon in 4 ways is displayed, and you can easily choose Scene mode, Backlight mode, and so on.



Video Editing function


Divide function is provided as an editing function. Through the menu of thumbnail play, you can select Divide, pause when you want to divide, and push the menu button to divide.



Interval Recording


Interval recording is a function to take a long video in a certain interval and play it. It was often used to watch movement of natures. You can’t easily find this function from other camcorders, so let’s try to make a documentary film with a fully charged battery.

Fresh and Almighty Samsung Smart Camcorder U10


Looking at this for the first time, you can hesitate to buy it. However, once you put this in your pocket, you will see a new world of Full HD videos. Videos can vividly get things we can’t get with still images. When it comes to the U10, with the compact size, this will be a new powerful model in the camcorder market. Light, slim, fast, simple, and even smart. Of course, there were some weak points such as no IS, no HDMI port, and no Macro mode, but other great functions can hide these things.

Ultra simple Snap shoot to share in Full HD Camcorder U10


This gets an attention with simple YouTube uploading system, convenient sharing system, easy interface, and unique ergonomic design. Probably, after the U10, P&S(Point and Shoot) HD camcorders will be getting popular slowly. At least, it shows better video quality than other popularized models. Besides, 10M photo function is very useful. The most important thing is the reasonable price. It was so wondering this small device makes Full HD videos. The new point of view of the U10 will make our life more interesting.
