An excellent quality camera that comes in at an attractive price. Photographers should be very interested, but if video is important too, you might
The catchily named "mirrorless interchangeable lens cameras" are quickly becoming a force to be reckoned with, a fact that Samsung have recognised with the launch of their own rival system to the Micro Four Thirds standard. The Samsung NX10 is the first model in the new series, featuring a DSLR-like design, large 3 inch AMOLED screen, electronic viewfinder, 720p video and a large APS-C CMOS sensor with 14.6 megapixels. With 30mm pancake, 18-55mm and 50-200mm lenses and a smattering of accessories available from day one and five more lenses to follow this year, Samsung are certainly making a sizeable investment in their compact/DSLR hybrid system. Read our Samsung NX10 review, complete with 50 JPEG samples and 12 RAW, to find out if it can out-perform its Olympus and Panasonic rivals.
The idea of a mirrorless interchangeable lens camera had been circulating for many years before Panasonic and Olympus announced the Micro Four Thirds camera system in August 2008, so it's not surprising that they didn't have the market to themselves for very long. Back when there was still only one Micro Four Thirds camera on the market, electronics giant Samsung showed a prototype of what was to be the first mirrorless interchangeable camera with an APS-C sized sensor. Ten months later that prototype has evolved into a finished product in the form of the NX10.
The 14.6-megapixel NX10 is an impressive alternative to Micro Four Thirds cameras from Olympus and Panasonic. It works well, takes great pictures with the 18-55mm kit lens, and offers excellent value for money. As a smaller and lighter alternative to a digital SLR, it's well worth a perusal
The Samsung NX10 is the perfect option for users who want SLR-like performance in a compact size

An affordable, interchangeable-lens system camera that provides DSLR features in a compact and portable body.Samsung expanded the interchangeable-lens compact (ILC) camera category with the announcement of its mirrorless NX10 system in early January. Styled like a traditional DSLR camera, but significantly slimmer (thanks to a shorter flange-back resulting from the elimination of the mirror box), the NX10 competes head-to-head with the Micro Four Thirds models introduced recently by Olympus and Panasonic.
I suppose I should not have been surprised when I first set eyes on this camera at a press preview just before Xmas 2009. Signs of Samsung’s photographic ambition have been evident over the last two years and the company’s release of a pair of very competent compacts (NV24 HD and ST1000) recently confirmed that

With a small body but big sensor, Samsung's NX10 did a lot to impress us.
