Everything USB posted a review on the Samsung NX100 Micro 4/3 Digital Camera



The micro 4/3rds DSLR camera niche is only a couple years old but in that short period of time they have gained quiet the following! The reason for this is they combine the power of a DSLR (and its interchangeable lenses) with the portability and ease of use of a Point & Shoot. Not that long ago Samsung released their NX10 micro 4/3rds camera and it was very, very good. Now they are back with what can be considered the successor to that camera: the NX100! So what does this new camera bring to the table and why would consumers chose it over the competition? Read on to find out in my full review.

The Verdict:
There really is a lot to love about this camera. It really does combine the power of a DSLR in a package that is only the size of a point and shoot "super zoom" camera. Best of all, its as easy to USE as any point and shoot camera and is easily the most user-friendly "first time DSLR user" camera I have ever used. HIGHLY recommended!

The Good:
+ Very good photo taking abilities
+ Beautiful AMOLED screen
+ SMART Auto really is smart!
+ Interchangeable lens
+ Quick and easy to use
+ Compact design
+ RAW mode
+ Decent "kit" lens included
+ Comfortable grip with an easy to use button layout

The Bad:
- Lenses are still "slow" for DSLR (e.g. f2.8 20mm should be at worst 1.8)
- With bigger lens attached you will lose a lot of the compact nature of the camera
- Short warranty
- No burst mode when using SMART mode
- Short battery life for a DSLR camera
- No built in flash
- No SD card included
- Can't use SDXC
- DIGITAL not optical image stabilization
