    Samsung Upgrading from NX300 to NX500?

    For me, the biggest reason to upgrade is the speed of functioning. The NX300 is very slow in almost every way, from turning it on, to writing to the card, etc. It is just a painfully slow operating camera. Slow enough that it is annoying especially after I put my NX1, or any other camera down...

    Samsung My handling impressions of the NX1 after 3 weeks of use

    If you mean changing the AF settings from the touchscreen, yes the NX1 does the same. It is part of the "display" that you can change (functions and information displayed on the screen that can be changed). I don't have that stuff displayed because I prefer to have only the basic info displayed...

    Samsung A few early reviews/impressions of the just released NX500

    One of the things I really like about my NX300 (and the NX3000) is the styling. It is modern and classy, I'd even call them handsome cameras. The brushed aluminum top plate on the black body looks contemporary and modern (I'm not a fan of the other colors but the spirit is still there). The...

    Samsung Samsung NX1c: video oriented version

    Okay okay, this is not an actual camera LOL! What this is was a thought that crossed my mind because of 1) the level of interest the NX1 has had from the video community, 2) Canon's Cinema line- like the 1Dc, and 3) the Sony A7s. I wondered what if Samsung decided to make a "cinema" version of...

    Samsung Samsung NX1 processing times.

    Do you have long exposure noise reduction turned off or on? I've never done exposures at the length of time you're doing (about 1min for running water photos at most for me) but I'm curious as to why you would choose f22 and ISO 800. The NX1 does have noise at ISO800 but it seems to me you...

    Samsung NX 500 on the way

    Now that the user manual is out it is looking like they crippled the NX500 pretty well (this is not said in a good way). The buffer doesn't look particularly impressive, but the lack of focus peaking in 4k and UHD video recording will no doubt put off many potential buyers. I certainly would...

    Samsung Nx 50-150 2.8

    It's not an obsession, it is a relevant question considering the main reason most people gravitate towards mirrorless is to loose the size and weight compared to DSLRs, and it is the main thing mirrorless makers use as a selling point. Although the NX1 has the relative size of a DSLR, it is...

    Samsung Metz 44 flash for those who want a TTL speedlight

    My review of the Metz 44 TTL flash for Samsung for those considering it because they want a TTL flash with good power and recycle time. I purchased this flash wanting a TTL flash to use for events along side my Canon+YN500ex. TTL for Canon, TTL for my NX1, about as apples to apples a comparison...

    Samsung NX 500 on the way

    Samsung hasn't really been serious about the camera game until the NX1. The majority of Samsung NX buyers had to research on their own to find out about the NX lineup. There is very little information about the cameras or lenses and very few reviews in comparison to other brands. The NX1 has...

    Samsung NX 500 on the way

    Samsung introduces NX500 with NX1's 28MP BSI sensor $799 w/16-50pz No body only option shown yet so I assume it would be $699 although I wouldn't be surprised if Samsung made it $749 to try to milk out a little more coin. She's a pretty girl ;) Will offer just about all of the...

    Samsung My handling impressions of the NX1 after 3 weeks of use

    Update: My guess is that Samsung is planning to put out a serious flash system at some point. In the menu of the NX1 here are the flash options: "external flash", "internal wireless flash", "external wireless flash". If you go into Internal Wireless Flash you will see these settings: "Use...

    Samsung the 16-80± contest is on!

    I'm not a Pentax user but the one thing that is has been shown is that Samsung can and are making optically impressive lenses. I don't actually care too much about it being an S lens if it keeps the size and weight down, but it might be one because Samsung will want to expand the number of S...

    Samsung Nx 50-150 2.8

    The Fuji I knew was heavier and longer I believe, which doesn't bode well for Fuji users who don't have the bigger grip an NX1 offers. Hand held doesn't look like a good time. The Sigma got blasted because of the massive size and weight, not offering as much benefit as promised for APSC users...

    Samsung Nx 50-150 2.8

    Does anyone on here actually have the 50-150S? I was initially very interested in this lens but lately I have really been thinking: The 16-50S is already a pretty hefty lens, no doubt making it a 2.0 on the wide end contributed to that. Samsung made sure to differentiate themselves by doing...

    Samsung NX300 screen

    I got that matte screen protector for my NX300. Does indeed cut glare outdoors and doesn't affect the touchscreen at all. Just make sure you don't try to judge your photos when reviewing them with that screen protector. I've had people comment on the photos on the back of the camera not being...

    Samsung My handling impressions of the NX1 after 3 weeks of use

    To be honest, I'm not seeing it yet. My NX300 images have an organic feel to them that's hard to describe but very pleasing to my eye. The NX1 seems more "Sony like" where they are pure detail but no "soul". It is purely subjective so take my opinion with a grain of salt not to mention LR is not...

    Samsung My handling impressions of the NX1 after 3 weeks of use

    Update: Just installed the firmware update on the NX1. Some menu items have been updated/added. You can basically map the camera to make it all one hand functional (a complaint some have about having a dial on the top left). :) The display adds more icons/information, but it isn't as welcome...

    Samsung My handling impressions of the NX1 after 3 weeks of use

    (Only handling, I won't put IQ stuff in this post) It is a good feeling camera, and a good looking one as well. It will EASILY be mistaken for a DSLR. The fact Samsung uses a large flange distance for a mirrorless camera affects that as well. Even with that, the lighter weight vs. a midrange...

    Samsung Here is the NX1

    The finish on the NX1 is something I'm not a big fan off. It is a sort of sheen to it that makes it look cheaper to me than the more matte finish Canon uses. It is sort of a Nikon D5200 sheen which looks like cheap plastic, which it isn't.

    Samsung Here is the NX1

    I'll have my NX1 on Friday. Never thought I'd be an early adopter (never have up to this point) but I went ahead and bit. Not going to do any scientific testing, shooting bricks, or charts. I will shoot it side by side doing portraits with my 6d and 60d this weekend though. My guess is that the...

    Samsung Here is the NX1

    Samsung isn't big enough in the game to be taken seriously by Voigtlander, Sigma, Tamron, etc yet. The NX1 could help that but it most likely wouldn't be quickly. Samsung's mount is prohibitive to Metabones currently, which hurts them as well. Samyang makes manual lenses for Samsung, but...

    Samsung Samsung NX Flash?

    There are two major weaknesses to the NX system, 3rd party lenses and a flash system. You can use a manual flash and manual flash triggers. I can use my YN460ii or 560 (all manual flashes) fine. I can also use my YN triggers for off camera work. Of course, the 460ii is smaller than the 560...

    Nikon went even smaller than 4/3 sooooo.... Guess they wanted to protect their crop line. :/ They missed an opportunity.

    Samsung The LONG rumoured 300 2.8 just showed up

    You don't have to adjust for FL. A 300mm lens is a 300mm lens, the extra apparent length is from the "crop factor". But the opening on a f2.8 lens designed for a crop sensor is closer to the size of an f4 lens designed for FF than a 2.8 for FF. So a 2.8 lens for crops can be smaller, like an f4...

    Samsung The LONG rumoured 300 2.8 just showed up

    I believe Canon uses white because of some of the elements in the lens. They are more sensitive to heat so the white helps keep the lens a little cooler than black lenses do. I shoot Canon and don't like the white lenses aesthetically. Sad Samsung went with white especially since it is such a...

    Samsung Can Samsung NX Cameras Take Pictures While Shooting Video
