Camera consistently underexposes (not by much, though), High ISO performance not as good as competition, Main display and EVF difficult to see in extreme lighting conditions, Continuous shooting mode hampered by lack of buffer memory, No "true" continuous AF in movie mode; camera cuts off last 1/2 second of video, Rightside blurriness with kit lens (though it may be my particular lens), No way to
For many years, Samsung has mainly been producing ho-hum compact cameras and rebadged Pentax digital SLRs. Their announcement of the NX system in 2009 caused quite a stir in the industry, and more than a year later, I must say that I'm impressed with ...

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....

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...
