  • If you're a first time DSLR or mirrorless buyer who wants a solid, powerful tool that's easy to figure out, I think the NX1 is a great choice, particularly for just how user-friendly it is. However, if you're already invested in a camera and lenses, it's...

  • Image quality is really good, super-fast 15fps burst mode, responsive touchscreen, decent battery life, quick access mode dials and controls, tilt-angle screen
  • Tizen has some stability issues, big and expensive, screen colours misrepresentative, autofocus not infallible, Auto Shot lacks full potential, ISO 6400 lacks detail
  • Although the Samsung NX1 kills the very notion of "compact" system camera, it's still a solid slice of kit with plenty to shout about. Let's get the quibbles out of the way first though: we found some software glitches to be apparent, which we don'...

  • One of the best APS-C cameras reviewed yet, Captures 4K videos directly to media card, Fast response, speedy focusing
  • Limited number of S-series lenses, Doesn't have DSLR stamina (for burst modes), Heavier than other mirrorless models
  • The Samsung NX1 is a winner and we liked it so much, we're calling it our favorite camera of 2014, with the Nikon D750 a close second. The reason we picked the Samsung are all of the advanced features detailed above: excellent image quality, great noise ...
