mall, mirrorless digital cameras with interchangeable lenses are on the upswing; Panasonic and Olympus have been joined by Samsung with the NX10 and Sony's entry into the competition has just been formally announced. You have to wonder how long it migh...
Abstract: mage quality is very good with good detail and low noise up to ISO 400, and ISO 800 is very usable. Exposure metering is accurate and dependable. CA is non existent using the 18-55mm kit lens. We found the NX10's autofocus to be precise and fast, even ...

Samsung came out swinging with its very tight NX10, a Single-Lens Direct-view, interchangeable-lens digital camera with an APS-C sensor. The Samsung NX10 is built very well, with a tight frame, good looks, and a great fit in the hand. It also shoots pr...
Compact build with interchangeable lenses. D-SLR-like image quality and focusing speed. Negligible shutter lag. OLED screen offers extraordinary contrast and very little motion blur. Intuitive and attractive user interface. 720p30 HD video capture.
Included lens produces soft images. Noise at ISO 1600 and higher. No optical viewfinder. Limited lens and accessory selection. No microphone input.
Samsung's first Micro-Four-Thirds competitor holds its own when it comes to speed and performance, but a proprietary lens system and limited compatible accessories detract from the overall package....
Abstract: When Panolympus announced in late 2008 the upcoming release of their first micro 4/3 cameras, Samsung stood up at the back of the assembly hall and, while jumping up and down waving their hand frantically, shouted Nobody really paid any attention...
The Samsung NX10 did do well in some of our video testing—particularly in the area of color accuracy. Unfortunately, however, the video captured by the camera didn't look all that good compared to what a Full HD camcorder is capable of producing. The ...

Comfortable, intelligent design; nice LCD; capable of producing excellent images
Default image settings could be better, sensor cleaning on resume from standby, middling EVF, no override for EVF eye sensor, annoying raw software
While there are enough drawbacks to keep the Samsung NX10 from being a no-brainer choice among interchangeable-lens cameras, it's still a well-designed model that's fun to shoot with and capable of producing very nice photos.
AF a bit sluggish, No Mac support for Samsungown Raw converter software
The NX10 offers great value and will open the mirrorless market up to a variety of users. Whether performance will outsmart the entry-level DSLR market (and, based on its design the NX10 appeals very much as a DSLR-replacement camera) is another matter...
Abstract: We doubt you need too much reminding about Samsung's "hybrid DSLR" shooter -- it's not every day you hear of a 14.6 megapixel APS-C sensor strapped inside a mirrorless body. Aiming to best Olympus and Panasonic at the game of tempting compact camera users...

Auto ISO will all too readily result in shaky photos, Steep tone curve gives harsh transition to blown-out, white areas (as seen in Panasonic G series), Noise reduction in JPEGS can be destructive (especially in Smart Range mode), Several functions, including playback, unavailable for several seconds when shooting RAW, EVF seems dull in comparison to excellent rear screen, Distinctly soft JPEG ou
Samsung is a little unfortunate to be the second guest to arrive at the mirrorless camera party - Micro Four Thirds has already made such a strong impression that it risks becoming the generic term for the new generation of mirrorless systems, even if...
