It’s been two years!

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

Time is flying relentlessly fast. I’ve just thought I was here two years now. Different things were happening at that time, a lot has changed. In some areas, have made good progress in the other, unfortunately, failed to change anything. Fortunately, it can always be better – I hope so.
In connection with my presence on this blog, I had the opportunity lead a workshops: “Photoblog – how to present your photos online?”. Conducting such a meeting was quite a challenge, because I never did anything like that. On the fourth occasion already gone quite well. I will say that even much I loved it :)
Workshops were conducted during the photo festival. Samsung was the patron of the event.

Going back to my presence on this blog, it all started in April 2009. Then I received the camera WB1000 – I did it a lot of pictures, now, my wife took the camera:) Here are a lot of photos taken WB1000.

Samsung NX10 │ 1/250s │ f8.0 │ 20mm │ ISO 100

Samsung NX10 │ 1/125s │ f8.0 │ 50mm │ ISO 100

Samsung NX10 │ 1/125s │ f5.0 │ 89mm │ ISO 100

Samsung NX10 │ 1/320s │ f9.0 │ 33mm │ ISO 100

Therefore, that enjoyed the photos I received after some time the next proposal. It was a long-awaited and shrouded in mystery Samsung NX10. I will tell you that this is a super feeling to have something that many have heard of but nobody has ever seen it.
With NX has already done more than 10,000 pictures, and soon I am going for a long awaited vacation, so probably will bring a few hundred pictures. Someone might say that 10,000 is not enough, but I still have a second camera  Samsung EX1 counter shows more than 4000 :D
One of my photographic achievements is to get into well-known Getty Images – I currently have over 180 pictures for sale. Of course, I invite you to buy ;)

Samsung NX10 │ 1/250s │ f6.3 │ 130mm │ ISO 100

Photos above are from cities, Lodz and Warsaw.
From a photographic point of view, the most expected for me is a macro lens, which should appear soon, and maybe the successor NX10 ;) So for now macro lens is the 20mm or 50-200mm with macro lens +4 :D

And as always for end Natasha :)

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.

One year of NXperience

This is the first post this year, I hope not the last. At home, more and more responsibilities, the time for anything less.

Samsung NX10 │ 1/13s │ f2.8 │ 20mm │ ISO 200

Samsung NX10 │ 1/125s │ f2.8 │ 20mm │ ISO 200

Time runs so fast that it’s been a year since I am the owner of NX10 and wonderful little devil named Natasha!

Samsung NX10 │ 1/125s │ f2.8 │ 20mm │ ISO 200

Samsung NX10 │ 1/60s │ f2.8 │ 20mm │ ISO 200

Samsung EX1 │ 1/60s │ f2.3 │ 12.3mm │ ISO 80

Within a year I became the owner 4 of 5 NX system lenses, I must say that I’m not fully satisfied because I lack a macro lens – so awaited, perhaps imparted to even fish-eye to enhance creativity.

Samsung NX10 │ 1/4s │ f22.0 │ 50mm │ ISO 100

Samsung NX10 │ 1/80s │ f2.8 │ 20mm │ ISO 100

Samsung NX10 │ 1/40s │ f4.3 │ 82mm │ ISO 200

Samsung NX10 │ 1/40s │ f2.8 │ 20mm │ ISO 100

Each new lens for me is getting better! Moreover, confirmed by various tests. But tests are tests, I prefer taking pictures than worrying about technical matters.

About The NX I can tell you – it works all the time just as well as in January 2010.
Counter shows nearly 7200 only photos, because I still have the EX1 which the counter shows2300 photos. This is a 9600 photos by the year, or about 26 pictures a day. I do not know whether this is a good or a bad result?

Samsung NX10 │ 1/500s │ f2.8 │ 20mm │ ISO 100

Samsung EX1 │ 1/90s │ f1.8 │ 5.2mm │ ISO 80

During one of the photo day, I managed to flood it with water, but luckily it survived and still works. I tried it also freeze at the snow – still works!
I have not tried to throw it, but it was tested by others with NX100 – still works!

In the beginning there were a few minor problems, but thankfully the developers have eliminated them from Samsung, I hope that it will introduce a few more minor improvements as the selection of JPG compression ratio, and AMOLED viewfinder.

Samsung NX10 │ 1/250s │ f2.8 │ 20mm │ ISO 100

By NX10 back my passion for photography. I always say that the pictures you can take by any camera, even a cell phone – hmmm pity that I do not have the Samsung S Galaxy only Wildfire with camera hopeless :)

Samsung NX10 │ 1/40s │ f4.0 │ 50mm │ ISO 200

During the year, it seems to me that I did a lot to improve my skills, I also know how much work is ahead of me. Fortunately, I have now excellent tool that enables me to develop skills and create new interesting vision.
