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.

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?

samsung NX100 Review

The evolution continues with the next NX: Samsung NX100

The NX100 is the second generation of compact system camera (CSC) developed by Samsung this year. Following in the footsteps
of the NX10 the new model takes on a more slimline look, akin to Panasonic’s GF1 or Sony’s NEX cameras.
Beneath the streamlined exterior, the NX100 still packs a punch with a 14.6MP APS-C sensor that stands it apart from the micro four thirds offerings from Olympus and Panasonic. This larger sensor, in theory, should produce image results similar to a DSLR, many of which also offer APS-C sensors.
Although we tend to focus mainly on camera bodies when we review, the big feature here is iFunction. Although this is accessed via a button situated on the lens, the iFunction feature changes the way you shoot. Depress the button and shooting options appear along the bottom of the three-inch AMOLED screen. Scroll through these by pressing the button until you reach the feature you want to manipulate. Choose from aperture, shutter speed, white balance, ISO, exposure compensation and scene modes. Then simply twist the focus ring on the lens to scroll up through aperture values or apply EV, for example.
The benefit of this system is that everything is available at your fingertips, without having to change your shooting stance. With the right hand on the Shutter button and the left cupped around the lens, changes can be made quickly, without having to look away and then recompose the original scene. We even tried this lens on the older Samsung NX10. After we applied the firmware update, we found the iFn lens and the viewfinder made for a great combination.

Samsung ST95 digital camera - Which first look review

The Samsung ST95 has a higher resolution sensor than the ST90, but the same optics. The ST95's sensor offers 16Mp of resolution compared with the 14Mp available on the ST90.

Upgraded to the Limit of a Compact Camera, WB2000

Samsung Electronics has provided the author of this review with the mentioned digital imaging device.

Recent compact cameras have been updating so quickly. Every time a new mode comes out, new technology has been applied and the performance has been upgraded. I found a good compact digital camera, and it’s the WB2000 from Samsung. The performance and functions are better than high end digital cameras. It has great quality, action panorama, 10 shots per sec, HD movie recording, Smart Auto, My Style, Smart Filter, and Beauty Shot. I strongly recommend this as a high end digital camera. However, it’s quite expensive. Let’s take a look.

01. Prologue

Recent cameras have been developing as technology progresses. Of course, it’s not as great as DSLR cameras, but compact cameras are being changed into great compact cameras from just a compact digital camera. The WB2000 shows just how the evolution has happened. As a compact camera, it supports M mode, RAW file format, ultra high speed shooting, action panorama, and AMOLED with vivid visions. Let’s take a closer look at the WB2000 with its various functions and photos.

02. Appearance

Exclusive battery & Convenient SD™ / SDHC

I used the exclusive Samsung battery, but due to the 3” AMOLED, the battery died quickly. Especially, when recording a movie, it spent a lot of the battery. However, it was enough for 1 day of shooting.

Compared to other compact cameras supporting Micro SD, it uses standard SD. I like the compatibility of the SD card.

03. Main Functions

Action Panorama

The WB2000 supports the Action Panorama function that takes consecutive shots while the shutter is pushed and the camera is moved, and it’s quite interesting. Normally, panorama photos should be edited with editing software such as Photoshop after taking a lot of shots with a tripod. And actually, this can’t be done by beginners.

However, the WB2000 supports the easy, simple and fast panorama function, and it supports 4 way (Up/Down/Left/Right) shootings.

05. Conclusion

In a word, I met a great compact camera. When using the WB2000, you can’t ignore a compact camera any more. Of course, having great functions doesn’t mean a good camera, because a good camera needs to take a good picture. The WB2000 has both modern and classic design, high level functions such as M mode, convenient functions such as Smart Auto, Smart Filter, and action panorama, and the results were wonderful.

There were some weaknesses. The battery was out a little too fast compared with the previous cameras, due to the 3” AMOLED screen, and the quick setting dial should have been more firm, because I turned it without realizing it.

I think recent compact cameras are really great. I hoping that there will be a compact camera as great as a DSLRs in the near future.
