Samsung NX-10 Mirrorless Interchangeable Lens Camera
Samsung NX-10 is Samsung’s first attempt in the now popular mirrorless, interchangeable lens camera form factor and we have to say, of all the ones we’ve tested, Samsung’s NX-10 comes really close to the feel of a DSLR.
While being as close to a DSLR is not a bad thing, the NX-10 sacrifices one thing that keeps itself in this new camera genre, size. The NX-10 has to be one of the biggest mirrorless, interchangeable lens cameras out there! To Samsung’s defense, the omission of the mirror did bring the size down a fair bit; that is, as compared to a normal DSLR.
Like we said earlier, this might not be a bad thing. The closer it gets in size to a DSLR means that the more ergonomic it is to use. The other cameras are just too awkward to be held in two hands and too big to be held in one. The size of the NX-10 is just nice.
You have the liberty of either using the gorgeous 3 inch AMOLED display or the EVF. There is a proximity sensor above the display, which automatically disable the display when you put your face on it to use the EVF.
We were given the kit lens for this review, an NX mount 18-55mm f3.5-5.6 OIS. The camera performed really well and color reproduction was good. The camera supports up to ISO 3200 but we found that ISO 800 is pretty much limit for print quality, which is quite amazing actually.
One thing we’ve bumped about is the built in pop up flash. With the kit lens, even at 18mm, the lens barrel shadow is pretty serious with objects closer than 50cm. The camera has a hot shoe for flash guns though you’ll need Samsung’s SEF-42A or SEF-20A flash guns for that.
The Samsung NX-10 is great if you want a ‘pseudo DSLR’ that is lighter and more ergonomic. The barrel shadow is pretty serious but if you don’t really take a lot of flash photography or close up shots, it’ll be fine. The AMOLED screen is gorgeous as well!

The device is only 120g and fits surprisingly well in your hand. Although it features slimness, it might prove a little difficult for users with bigger hands to type.
The screen and joystick size too could have been bigger. But the speed and user friendly interface makes up for it all. What really knocks competition away is the memory expandability. The i780 supports MicroSD cards up to 16GB.
