Camera Review
Samsung NX30
A bit expensive compared to competitor
Must buy camera with kit zoom len
JPEGs sometimes have too much contrast and noise reduction
Battery only chargeable incamera
Battery only chargeable in-camera
Limited burst shooting. EVF lags in dim light. On the bulky side. No alternate kit or body only purchase options. Dedicated charger not included
Same sensor as a previous camera
Video record button is placed where it can accidentally be pushed
EVF viewfinder is less big and bright than the optical viewfinder of an SLR
Highest ISO settings are moderate
Battery pack capacity is just sufficient
Screen and EVF prone to lag in low light
Auto ISO limited to 3200 maximum
Default noise reduction leaves noise behind and drains color from scene
On/off switch easily bumped into On position
One proper command dial not as useful as twin dial setup
