    Is Samsung NX1000 a DSLR camera?

    over 1 year ago
    The NX1000 Mirrorless Wi-Fi Digital Camera with 20-50mm Lens (White) from Samsung is a more compact, and more affordable alternative to a cumbersome DSLR camera, yet it still offers a lot of quality features you would expect to find in cameras three times its size.

Review : Samsung SH100 Digital Camera

While most other small <b>digital</b> <b>camera</b> manufacturers use SD cards for image storage, <b>Samsung</b> have always used the micro SD, a little fiddly to get in and out and of course the other problem is they are always more expensive.
