The editors didn't like

  • Image quality no better than any current camera on the market

  • Cumbersome file format
  • Image quality not as sharp as the competition
  • Clunky audio controls
  • No 10bit out via HDMI

  • Abstract:  4K video on this is sharp too, with excellent colour replication. The ability to shoot 4K at 24fps and 1080p at 60fps has the NX1 ahead of the pack in terms of video resolution and capability.This is a camera suited for anyone enthusiastic about their pho...

  • Image quality is excellent, both in jpeg and RAW. Because the NX1 uses the H.265 video codec, not recognised by either Final Cup Pro or Adobe Premiere, we had to convert the files to H.264 for editing, but even downscaled the results are impressive.
  • The NX1 is big and heavy, matching the bulk and mass of a solid DSLR. Why? Sony and Fujifilm can fit full frame and APS sensors in petite bodies. It can't be that hard
  • The NX1 is a top camera and earns a place alongside the best mirrorless cameras from Olympus, Panasonic, Sony and Fujifilm, but because of its size and shape it is going to be compared with the mid-range offerings from Nikon and Canon. Samsung doesn't yet...

  • Samsung is a relative newcomer to the enthusiasts' camera market and appears to be struggling to gain traction at a time when camera sales have slowed or, in some cases, declined. However, in the NX1 the company has created a camera that is technologicall...

  • Great low-ISO images, Excellent video, Nearly perfect photo sharing
  • Expensive, Annoying app install process, Some lens quality variance
  • If you need a new camera, and you want to join the mirrorless revolution — and let's be honest, there aren't too many reasons why you shouldn't — then the Samsung NX1 is, in my opinion, equally as good as Sony's excellent A7 full-frame range. The lens lin...

  • The biggest problem Samsung might face with this camera is the company's short history of producing “serious” cameras but the NX1 should attract some respect from those willing to give it a go....

  • Abstract:  Samsung's cameras have come a long way since the company started dabbling with the Pentax mount, but just how far is “far”? We're going hands on with the latest model to find out.If there's been one consistent rule in the camera industry, it has been this...

  Published: 2014-09-15, Author: Angela , review by: techradar.com/au/

  • High resolution backilluminated sensor, 15fps shooting, Wide AF point coverage
  • Tilting rather than variangle screen, Initial impression of low light AF not great
  • Samsung has certainly put lots of thought and features into the NX1. It looks and feels like a serious camera and it should appeal to enthusiast photographers who have yet to commit to a compact system camera (CSC) system. Samsung also has some nice lens...
