*Sigh* Can't everyone just use the same lens standards?]]>Jan 3rd 2010 7:05PMhttp://www.engadget.com/2010/01/03/samsung-nx10-made-official-aps-c-sensor-and-amoled-screen-cra/http://www.engadget.com/2010/01/03/samsung-nx10-made-official-aps-c-sensor-and-amoled-screen-cra/Jan 3rd 2010 8:30PMhttp://www.engadget.com/2010/01/03/samsung-nx10-made-official-aps-c-sensor-and-amoled-screen-cra/http://www.engadget.com/2010/01/03/samsung-nx10-made-official-aps-c-sensor-and-amoled-screen-cra/
A Panasonic G1 kit is a little over $600 with lens, which is entry-level price. m4/3 prices seem to cover a wide price range.

Not a fan of the proprietary mount on this NX, at least the m4/3 is a mere extension of the 4/3rd mount and is compatible for the large part. Not to mention the massive plethora of adapters available (Leica, Canon, Nikon, Pentax, C-mount, PL-mount, Oly, etc.)

I was personally hoping for a 'mini- Pentax K-mount with this NX considering the close relationship that Samsung has with the company.

Granted, I'm sure there will be some adapters, even though it'll likely have less then the M4/3rds cameras due to an increased FFD (focal flange distance) necessary for the APS-C sensor.]]>Jan 4th 2010 12:15AMhttp://www.engadget.com/2010/01/03/samsung-nx10-made-official-aps-c-sensor-and-amoled-screen-cra/http://www.engadget.com/2010/01/03/samsung-nx10-made-official-aps-c-sensor-and-amoled-screen-cra/if your read the full spec of this baby , you will understand that its not comparable with the gf1 or ep1 or even gh1

Technically not though, but close in IQ terms.

Having said that, after having a go at EP1 I thought that was a tad too large for a DSLR replacement. This thing is marginally smaller then a baby Nikon/Canon, so no cigar from me. But close. ]]>Jan 3rd 2010 11:52PMhttp://www.engadget.com/2010/01/03/samsung-nx10-made-official-aps-c-sensor-and-amoled-screen-cra/http://www.engadget.com/2010/01/03/samsung-nx10-made-official-aps-c-sensor-and-amoled-screen-cra/
Well... no, it's not an SLR, it's just a very high-quality digital camera.

Although the differences are being narrowed down of late (what with LV on most new DSLRs), there is still a clear difference between a digicam with interchangeable lenses, and DSLRs (The Mirrorbox/Pentaprism)

If anything, this is more in line with a Digital Rangefinder.]]>Jan 4th 2010 12:37AMhttp://www.engadget.com/2010/01/03/samsung-nx10-made-official-aps-c-sensor-and-amoled-screen-cra/http://www.engadget.com/2010/01/03/samsung-nx10-made-official-aps-c-sensor-and-amoled-screen-cra/i think their mean from slr is interchangeable lens (its wrong).

I'm guessing this intended to be a lower-priced variant based off the K-7.

I'm a Nikon F-mount system user, and I jumped at the opportunity to get into something smaller when I bought the Olympus E-P1. I have a F-to-m4/3 adapter and I love using all of my old MF Nikkors on it. I realized a need for something smaller when I would just look at my kit, and decide not to take a camera at all, due to the size. The D40 used to fill in that spot for me, but after I gave it to a relative, the smallest I could go with was a D300, which even without the grip and flash is too much to have banging against you all day.

Totally happy with what Olympus has been able to produce in the m4/3 arena. The m4/3 standard drew me in with their incredible lens compatibility, but the digital "PEN" is simply one of the most fun, but capable cameras, I've had the pleasure of using.]]>Jan 4th 2010 7:48AMhttp://www.engadget.com/2010/01/03/samsung-nx10-made-official-aps-c-sensor-and-amoled-screen-cra/http://www.engadget.com/2010/01/03/samsung-nx10-made-official-aps-c-sensor-and-amoled-screen-cra/Jan 3rd 2010 7:34PMhttp://www.engadget.com/2010/01/03/samsung-nx10-made-official-aps-c-sensor-and-amoled-screen-cra/http://www.engadget.com/2010/01/03/samsung-nx10-made-official-aps-c-sensor-and-amoled-screen-cra/Jan 3rd 2010 7:44PMhttp://www.engadget.com/2010/01/03/samsung-nx10-made-official-aps-c-sensor-and-amoled-screen-cra/http://www.engadget.com/2010/01/03/samsung-nx10-made-official-aps-c-sensor-and-amoled-screen-cra/Jan 3rd 2010 7:44PMhttp://www.engadget.com/2010/01/03/samsung-nx10-made-official-aps-c-sensor-and-amoled-screen-cra/http://www.engadget.com/2010/01/03/samsung-nx10-made-official-aps-c-sensor-and-amoled-screen-cra/Jan 3rd 2010 7:44PMhttp://www.engadget.com/2010/01/03/samsung-nx10-made-official-aps-c-sensor-and-amoled-screen-cra/http://www.engadget.com/2010/01/03/samsung-nx10-made-official-aps-c-sensor-and-amoled-screen-cra/

The OLED does show off a lot of glare but I don't think many would argue it's worse than the LCD.

IMO, No sense casting a negative image on a better technology that needs consumer support to really steal some share from the LCD market. Technology superstitions and the fear that goes along with them can really hurt a products potential. (Look at plasma and the residual fear of burn-in)]]>Jan 4th 2010 12:38PMhttp://www.engadget.com/2010/01/03/samsung-nx10-made-official-aps-c-sensor-and-amoled-screen-cra/http://www.engadget.com/2010/01/03/samsung-nx10-made-official-aps-c-sensor-and-amoled-screen-cra/Jan 3rd 2010 7:45PMhttp://www.engadget.com/2010/01/03/samsung-nx10-made-official-aps-c-sensor-and-amoled-screen-cra/http://www.engadget.com/2010/01/03/samsung-nx10-made-official-aps-c-sensor-and-amoled-screen-cra/Jan 3rd 2010 7:51PMhttp://www.engadget.com/2010/01/03/samsung-nx10-made-official-aps-c-sensor-and-amoled-screen-cra/http://www.engadget.com/2010/01/03/samsung-nx10-made-official-aps-c-sensor-and-amoled-screen-cra/

The camera being a little thin does not change anything, because the lens is the problem with DSLRs.

Besides, Pocketable PnS cameras offer 10x-25x zoom. To achieve same level of zoom with normal super zoom lens, the lens needs to be at least 15-20cm long.]]>Jan 3rd 2010 9:03PMhttp://www.engadget.com/2010/01/03/samsung-nx10-made-official-aps-c-sensor-and-amoled-screen-cra/http://www.engadget.com/2010/01/03/samsung-nx10-made-official-aps-c-sensor-and-amoled-screen-cra/Bought a Canon AE-1 back in 82, it gave out in 2002, started buying digicams, haven't gotten a DSLR yet, so my trusty old Panny FZ50 fills the bill for now, but I'd prefer the feel and weight of a full size DSLR]]>Jan 3rd 2010 10:56PMhttp://www.engadget.com/2010/01/03/samsung-nx10-made-official-aps-c-sensor-and-amoled-screen-cra/http://www.engadget.com/2010/01/03/samsung-nx10-made-official-aps-c-sensor-and-amoled-screen-cra/they don't make cameras like they used to anymore...]]>Jan 4th 2010 4:32AMhttp://www.engadget.com/2010/01/03/samsung-nx10-made-official-aps-c-sensor-and-amoled-screen-cra/http://www.engadget.com/2010/01/03/samsung-nx10-made-official-aps-c-sensor-and-amoled-screen-cra/Jan 3rd 2010 11:05PMhttp://www.engadget.com/2010/01/03/samsung-nx10-made-official-aps-c-sensor-and-amoled-screen-cra/http://www.engadget.com/2010/01/03/samsung-nx10-made-official-aps-c-sensor-and-amoled-screen-cra/Jan 3rd 2010 11:09PMhttp://www.engadget.com/2010/01/03/samsung-nx10-made-official-aps-c-sensor-and-amoled-screen-cra/http://www.engadget.com/2010/01/03/samsung-nx10-made-official-aps-c-sensor-and-amoled-screen-cra/
Not so good for those who are shooting landscapes, however, because an EVF/Live View just don't have the correct light/colour recreation that a good Pentaprism provide.

It makes it harder to focus and adjust aperture, and means you have to fiddle around with colour and gamma before you can even take a shot.]]>Jan 4th 2010 12:49AMhttp://www.engadget.com/2010/01/03/samsung-nx10-made-official-aps-c-sensor-and-amoled-screen-cra/http://www.engadget.com/2010/01/03/samsung-nx10-made-official-aps-c-sensor-and-amoled-screen-cra/
I think I have to disagree here :(

Color doesn't get any more accurate than with a live view. You are seeing the actual image after all, not one that has gone through an additional set of optics and the coatings associated with them. Also, serious photogs will shoot in RAW mode, so you will be able to adjust color balance in postprocessing anyway.

Focus should be more accurate as well. Many high-end live view cameras offer almost pixel-level precision in the manual focus zoom mode. Moreover, with landscapes, you'll be shooting with a small aperture, so depth of field shouldn't be a problem.

Additional benefits include live histogram and many more focus points. I can't stress enough how important the live histogram is to me, especially in situations where I don't get a second chance.

The real downsides to this system are that there is no ttl phase detection af and the slower VF refresh rate. The refresh rate isn't really a problem for landscapes and portraits though. As for street photography, I use a normal lens with both eyes open so it won't be a big deal for me either. If you are a sports photographer, you shouldn't use this camera as your primary rig, but then again this system would have no size advantage over a normal dslr at focal lengths of over 50mm.]]>Jan 4th 2010 3:00AMhttp://www.engadget.com/2010/01/03/samsung-nx10-made-official-aps-c-sensor-and-amoled-screen-cra/http://www.engadget.com/2010/01/03/samsung-nx10-made-official-aps-c-sensor-and-amoled-screen-cra/Jan 4th 2010 12:26AMhttp://www.engadget.com/2010/01/03/samsung-nx10-made-official-aps-c-sensor-and-amoled-screen-cra/http://www.engadget.com/2010/01/03/samsung-nx10-made-official-aps-c-sensor-and-amoled-screen-cra/

I really like were the panasonic GF1 and the olympus EP-2 are taking micro 4/3's as a alternative to full-size dslr cameras even is they are a bit pricey because you can use all kinds of lenses from other manufactures with cheap adapters and have the flexability of having a small size or a big zoom depending on which lens you carry versus a regular dslr which is sort of bulky either way.]]>Jan 4th 2010 12:54AMhttp://www.engadget.com/2010/01/03/samsung-nx10-made-official-aps-c-sensor-and-amoled-screen-cra/http://www.engadget.com/2010/01/03/samsung-nx10-made-official-aps-c-sensor-and-amoled-screen-cra/
But electronic viewfinder, that's something I don't like.. it's just weird to look through compared to a "normal" SLR. The quality is just not the same. Although there are some like it such as the Nikon Coopix P80, but no interchangeable lens.

Correct me if I'm wrong.]]>Jan 4th 2010 1:43AMhttp://www.engadget.com/2010/01/03/samsung-nx10-made-official-aps-c-sensor-and-amoled-screen-cra/http://www.engadget.com/2010/01/03/samsung-nx10-made-official-aps-c-sensor-and-amoled-screen-cra/those typically are prosumer cameras with the exception of the GF1]]>Jan 4th 2010 4:34AMhttp://www.engadget.com/2010/01/03/samsung-nx10-made-official-aps-c-sensor-and-amoled-screen-cra/http://www.engadget.com/2010/01/03/samsung-nx10-made-official-aps-c-sensor-and-amoled-screen-cra/
