Samsung NX10

Samsung NX10

The Samsung NX10 is part of the second generation of ‘mirrorless’ interchangeable lens system cameras.  With the success of the Olympus PEN and the Panasonic GF1 we have come to realize that there is a demand for a high quality camera that is smaller than conventional DSLR.  The Samsung NX10 is very similar to other Micro Four Thirds except that it uses the same APS-C sized sensor as many digital SLR systems.  The larger sensor means better high ISO performance but it also means that the zoom will be smaller.

Samsung NX10 Key Features

  • 15.1 Megapixel APS-C  CMOS sensor
  • 14.6 Million effective pixels
  • Samsung NX mount (25.5 mm flange-back distance)
  • 720P movie capture at 30 fps
  • Contrast-detect autofocus
  • 3.0” AMOLED screen (614,000 dots, PenTile RGB array)
  • 921K dot Electronic Viewfinder
  • 30mm F2 pancake and 18-55mm standard zoom options

The Samsung NX10 offers the performance and image quality of a DSLR camera and the portability and convenience of a compact point-and-shoot camera.  These type of camera are a new genre of cameras known as Micro Four Thirds cameras.  The key to the Micro Four Thirds cameras and the Samsung NX10 is that it allows slimmer cameras by removing the mirror box and optical viewfinder and replacing them with an all-live view system that uses the sensor itself to display a preview image.  The lens mount to the sensor, or the flange-back, distance is reduced by 40% to 25.5mm.  The lens mount is also shrunk and the end result is the Samsung NX10 with an ALR sensor and interchangeable lenses in a lot smaller package. The Samsung NX10 has many camera modes including automatic, semi-automatic, and fully manual. The Samsung NX10 has a built-in electronic viewfinder that switches on automatically when you lift the camera to your eye. The new Smart Auto mode uses scene detection to optimize settings for every single shot.

“The new Samsung NX10 marks the start of the next generation of cameras,” said Mr. SJ Park, CEO of Samsung Digital Imaging Company. “We know from our detailed research over several years that what consumers want from their cameras is evolving, which we’ve reflected in the development of the Samsung NX10. With specialist equipment open to everyone and no longer restricted solely to the professional, more and more people want to capture something creative and tell a story through their camera – but they also want something compact that they can carry around with them all day. The large sensor and the ultra fast auto focus give consumers the quality they demand as well as the compactness they want in one exceptional package.”

At the time of launch the Samsung NX10 system will comprise of the NX10 body, a 30mm lens, an 18-55mm lens, a 50-200mm lens, BP1210 Lithium-Ion battery pack and charger, AC cable for charger, USB connection cable, Software CD,  strap, Body cap, Eye cup, Hot-Shoe cover, and the manuals.

Samsung NX10 Camera

One of the best cameras on the market right now, the Samsung NX10, has an amazing 14.6 Megapixels a larger than normal CMOS sensor, which allows the Samsung NX10 to deliver high-quality pictures that look natural and full of color. Since the Samsung NX10 is significantly smaller than a standard DSLR camera, it is a lot more mobile and a lot easier to carry around everywhere.  Even though it is a lot smaller, it is still chock full of features including HD recording and functions that allow for fast action shots.

The Samsung NX10 has such an innovative design! It was designed without a mirror box or a pent prism, which are two of the major reasons this camera is so lightweight and significantly smaller than other DSLR cameras. Using the AF function, even the quickest of moments can be caught on camera in all their glory.  Users will always be prepared to take photos any time or any place because of how lightweight and mobile the Samsung NX10 truly is.

The extra large APS-C CMOS sensor that the Samsung NX10 is equipped with allows users to create the most accurate and natural looking photos possible.  The clarity of these photos even rivals other famous DSLR cameras.  This extra large sensor really minimizes a lot of the picture noise and also uses a high ISO in different low light environments.  The end results are photos that are natural looking, accurate, sharp, and look just like the real object is actually there.

The Samsung NX10 also has a 3″ AMOLED display, which allows users to see the display very clearly at night or even in full sunlight. The AMOLED display has a response rate that is 3000 times faster than a standard LCD display and it features a 1000:1 dynamic contrast ratio.  This top of the line AMOLED display displays sharp, accurate, and clear images regardless of the angle the display is viewed at.

The Samsung NX10 uses an electronic viewfinder and it displays additional information on the screen.  Many other cameras only have an optical viewfinder, which can only display the images directly reflected from the mirror and does not allow for any extra information to be displayed.  Samsung NX10 camera settings can be applied in the image preview immediately.  What you see in the viewfinder is exactly what the picture will look like.

One of the more difficult parts about owning a digital camera is all the confusing setting and menus that users have to deal with and learn.  The Samsung NX10 is designed with the idea of making things simpler for the user.  The menus and settings are much easier to navigate, set up, and sort through.  It really allows novice camera users to navigate menus and use the Samsung NX10 quickly and efficiently.

The Samsung NX10 also contains a Smart Range feature that makes sure that bright spots are not saturated and dark spots are not darker than intended. The view on it is picture perfect because it can capture and display a clean and clear image in the same frame.  It also has a Smart Album feature that allows a user to quickly browse through all the images on the camera or organize them any way the user desires.  Images can be arranged by face, color, content or even by favorites.  The Samsung NX10 also has a unique Beauty Shot feature that allows even a novice user to take professional looking portrait photos.
