APS-C single call in the end more powerful? Samsung NX10 detailed evaluation

Samsung NX10

APS-C as the first frame of the electronic viewfinder interchangeable lens camera, Samsung NX10 in many respects with strong performance. In particular we are most concerned about quality, the Samsung NX10 effective pixels and the pixel density is better than Micro 4 / 3 system cameras, and focusing system is also very obvious upgrade. In this evaluation, the author will conduct a comprehensive analysis NX10, and to join and Obama E-PL1 simple comparison to see whether NX10 advantage by virtue of the sensor, the camera was crowned king of a single power.

· APS-C single call in the end more powerful?

Samsung NX10 completely in the light-sensitive component reached a level SLR cameras. APS-C size 23.4 × 15.6mm, 1460-megapixel CMOS sensors and before our flagship Samsung GX20 and Pentax SLR cameras K7 on the same CMOS. Before we compared the 12 million pixel common with the level of product, NX10 pixel has a 20% advantage, and the frame on the sensor, compared with 4 / 3 inch sensors also have advantages of nearly 80% of the area. In theory, the Samsung NX10′s ability to control noise is very worthy of our expectations.
At the same time, the larger sensor in the same time, NX10 in the volume control is also doing a great job, 123 × 87 × 39.8mm of “measurements” and the Olympus E-PL1 of 114.6 × 72.2 × 41.5mm with almost only because NX10 electronic viewfinder so much higher than the latter. Through the above picture, we see NX10 volume significantly smaller than conventional SLR camera, ideal for female users, as for how the camera work and image, then I continue to tell you.
* Centro appearance Samsung NX10

Samsung DC in the design has been recognized by consumers, from the classic “Blues” series to the lightweight, versatile ST series, Samsung cameras and more people to feel retro and stylish. NX10 Samsung DC product line as the new representative of the concept of the camera, SLR camera with a similar look and feel good. Cameras all over the body with plastic material, the overall solid and reliable work, and the handle to do a large area of skin treatment.

Samsung NX10 NX card with exclusive mouth, and can use other lenses by Ring, as the pursuit of light volume, NX10, and diameter of the lens mount flange distance (lens card exported to the distance between sensors) are small. And Panasonic G1 also similar to Samsung NX10 also has an EVF electronic viewfinder, the viewfinder with 0.86 × magnification and 100% of vision coverage.

Samsung NX10 uses a 3.0 inch of AMOLED (active matrix OLED) display, as one of the future direction of the screen, OLED display due to its excellent characteristics such as self-luminous, so the display is superior to the ordinary LCD, At the same time, the power consumption and the use of visual perspective on the NX10 screen TFT LCD better than many. 614 000 pixel display accuracy and 10000:1 dynamic contrast ratio for NX10 machine in the same class leading.

Samsung NX10 SLR cameras have a common function of wheel and option-rich mode dial. Cameras all over the body are painted with non-slip embossing texture paint, the texture is somewhat similar to Canon L lens surface coating.
* Delicate details of the Samsung NX10

NX10 bottom of the viewfinder has a light sensor device used in the past when people face Minato EVF for shooting when the camera will automatically turn off the main switch to automatically open the EVF LCD viewfinder. Similarly, when we view the pictures, but if too worried about not see light around the details, you can also use the EVF playback of photos.
Samsung NX10 shoulder a lot of button placement, due to close from the thumb, allowing the photographer to leave EVF eye can not blind operation. However, key position in the design, NX10 Samsung or reflect their own style, in particular, the camera zoom button at the top of the camera was designed, not as other SLR cameras generally the two buttons on the back. This may make some common mode of operation SLR users to adapt to a period of time.
NX10 and SLR cameras with built-in flash is very similar, and we can flash in the menu on the simple settings to achieve the desired results. At the same time, the camera also has standard specifications to meet an external flash hot shoe, lead flashing.
In batteries, NX10 uses a 7.4V Voltage, 1300mAh lithium-ion batteries power. As the camera itself does not possess, such as wireless capabilities like GPS, while 3.0 inches of AMOLED display more power than other types, so although the configuration is higher but the endurance capacity NX10 and most single electronic camera or a similar . Completely filled, we can use the NX10 more than 200-400 photos taken, of course, the above data, we use this and the screen / EVF viewfinder related to the frequency difference. But short, you use the NX10 completed the shooting or the day no problem.
· NX10 sets of lens introduction

The ZOL received NX10 camera with a 1 18-55mm/F3.5-5.6 OIS lens, and all the parameters it sets a common anti-shake head no difference between 18-55, but the lens focus ring not a mechanical structure, that is in the shutdown case, we rotate the focus ring, lens focus lens does not change.

NX10 While this 18-55 lens and SLR cameras with a similar set of 58mm filter diameter head, you can easily buy UV, CPL and other additional lenses. In the lens end, we have also seen and the same number of entry-plastic lens mount design.
Samsung NX10 body with 18-55 lens with very good balance, while the volume is also available in the market than many smaller SLR cameras. In addition to this “typical” than the first set, Samsung NX10 can and own set of head and 30mm/F2 telephoto lens with a biscuit, or other family connections through Ring 135 camera.
Evaluating summary *: APS-C single electronic camera Cornerstone

As the first single-use APS-C sensor electronic cameras, Samsung NX10 can be considered as the foundation of these cameras for. Sensor area of natural advantages and created its own SLR NX10 similar quality, and focusing speed Samsung NX10 also unambiguous, substantially more than we are evaluating the single before the camera power. Inch long, inch strong, it can be said NX10 good use of its own sensor frame on the significant advantages, among the micro 4 / 3 before competitors grab a head start on quality.
But Samsung NX10 who we saw some shortcomings, such as sets of lens quality is not satisfactory, button arrangement is not reasonable, not vivid color photos, etc., these are the follow-up to Samsung NX Series models to be enhancement. I believe the design for the camera, the Samsung experience, it is not hard to do.

Looking at interchangeable lens camera market now, with Samsung and Sony APS-C camp, led by rapidly rising, which the traditional Micro 4 / 3 camp exerted enormous pressure. Samsung NX10 sets of machines on the sale price in terms of 4500-5000 dollars, and only Obama E-PL1 a single electronic camera than it is cheap. The larger sensor size, the higher pixel and faster AF for Samsung NX10 competition with the former occupying a certain advantage. The future market for such cameras tend to Who? In addition to the most sensitive to price, quality factors, we believe that supporting the lens system with the quality and practicality of additional functions are not negligible. I believe with the advantages of the sensor and electronics technology from the technical reserves, Samsung single electric camera market prospects are bright.
