Featuring compact-like handling
combined with DSLR image quality, the first wave of models from Olympus and
Panasonic have all been part of the open Micro Four Thirds standard, targeting
those users who want to trade up from a compact but who are scared away by the
size and complexity of a DSLR, and also DSLR owners looking for a moore
portable second camera. The Samsung NX10
uses an APS-sized CMOS sensor, along with a bright 7.6cm Active Matrix Organic
Light Emitting Diode (AMOLED) LCD; the latter promises higher contrast and
brighter display and does not rely on backlighting to improve the picture as
well as a quicker refresh rate and lower power draw. he recent launch of
mirror-less compact cameras with large sensors have certainly captured the
imagination of many photographers recently. In bright daylight conditions I
found the screen performed very well.

The Samsung NX10 flash exposure
system works better than the Olympus E-PL1, throttling back well for near
portraits, while the E-PL1 tends to blow out faces even further out. The
Samsung NX10's flash range is excellent, good from about six feet to 12 feet in
our standard ISO 100 testing, but it also continued to look reasonably good out
to 16 feet at wide-angle. In summary the
NX10 is a very impressive first attempt at a completely new kind of camera for
Samsung, with a logical user interface that isn't too daunting for beginners or
too dumbed-down for the more experienced photographer. There are no surprises in the camera’s
layout: legible text identifies the various external controls and the
viewfinder menu is copious but fuss-free.
