Samsung’s new NX camera increases the features but decreases the size. But is it enough to trump the Sony NEX-5?

Everyone has heard about the DSLR and its high quality photos. Everyone has also heard of its bulk and high price. Today we are taking a look at the Samsung NX100, claimed to offer the excellent quality while still remaining fairly light and small.

The new NX100 is Samsung's answer to the Panasonic GF, Olympus PEN and Sony NEX - a mirrorless, compact system camera with interchangeable lenses and the attraction of a large APS-C sensor. As well as being smaller and lighter than the more DSLR-like NX10 model, the NX100 offers an innovative i-Function button which allows you to change the camera's key settings simply by pressing a button and turning the focus ring of the lens. With a retail price of around £449.99 / $599.99 with the new 20-50mm kit lens, the Samsung NX100 also offers fantastic value for money. Read our Samsung NX100 review to find out if it's the real deal...

I know it’s not that important, but I feel this category of camera needs a name. How about MILC? Mirrorless Interchangeable Lens Camera. Along with models from Olympus, Panasonic and Sony these radical MILCs have attracted many followers, willing to forgo a turret viewfinder so that the camera’s form factor and weight can be shrunk,

The Samsung NX100 is the latest addition to the company's new mirrorless range of cameras and ups the ante with very innovative new lens functionality.

The latest 'mirrorless' camera from Samsung is styled like a compact digicam but has a much larger sensor and supports 720p HD movie recording.Styled like a compact digicam - and only a little larger - Samsung's NX100 is quite different from the SLR-like NX10 the company released earlier this year. It sports an APS-C size sensor with an effective resolution of 14.6 megapixels and introduces a new series of lenses. A high-resolution 3-inch AMOLED screen covers much of the rear panel - but if you want a viewfinder, it's an add-on accessory.
