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...
Smallest interchangeable lens camera with an APS-C sensor, Good image quality, Very reliable metering and white balance in most shooting situations, Excellent build quality, Generally well-thought-through interface and ergonomics, High specification for the price, Fast (DSLR speed) autofocus and good range of AF point selection methods, Superb LED rear screen offers high contrast, brightness and
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...
The first question to ask when evaluating the Samsung NX10 isn't how well does it work, but why does it exist? The engineers at Samsung took the mirrorless concept pioneered by Micro Four Thirds camera designers, combined it with the larger, APS-C-si...
The Samsung NX10 is an excellent first entry into the growing interchangeable lens compact camera market, offering intuitive handling, especially for beginners, great image quality and fantastic value for money. Only the proprietary and physically la...
Abstract: Samsung is the first company out of the gate with a major camera announcement at CES 2010, unveiling the first model in its NX series. The company announced the NX series at PMA 2009 early last year, but the NX10 is the first real-world NX series offer...

The NX10 proves it's possible to offer an APS-C sensor and interchangeable lenses without the mirror, prism, and general bulk of a DSLR design. It's a small, likeable camera that is readily capable of matching the image quality of its peers, but a few min...
