The Samsung NX1 Full Review – Potentially the best mirrorless camera on the market

28/02/2015 By Mathieu 6 Comments

We often read and hear the sentence “we live in very interesting times when it comes to photography equipment”. And it is nothing short of true. With the rise of mirrorless systems in the last two years, the number of quality cameras and brands on the market has multiplied. Four years ago I would never have imagined that I would be placing Samsung among them. Their line of cameras wasn’t bad but I was more troubled by the philosophy (or lack thereof) behind them. The many “Buy a camera and get a tablet free” deals were evidence that the Korean brand placed cameras on the same level as the many other electronic devices they design.

A camera bursting with potential – Samsung NX1 First Impressions

Update: check out the Samsung NX1 full review!

The most interesting announcement at this year’s Photokina was without a doubt the Samsung NX1, the newest flagship camera designed to prove that the giant Korean company is getting serious about photography. However, even with the NX1’s impressive specs, Samsung’s road to success is fraught with challenges. The biggest of which will be to achieve recognition as a serious and reliable photography brand despite being better known for its many other electronic products.

On paper, the NX1 seems to have claimed the title of the best mirrorless camera. But is it really the game changer it aspires to be? Let’s find out!

Sunday with the Samsung NX Mini – Celebrating Diwali in Turin

28/10/2014 By Heather Leave a Comment

Given Turin’s fairly large population of Indian residents, it was far from surprising to discover that a Diwali festival was being held at the Borgo Medievale castle this past Sunday. The “festival of lights” as it is otherwise known is an ancient Hindu festival celebrated on the night of the darkest new moon of the Hindu month Kartika, which is always sometime in October or November.

Since a used Samsung NX Mini had just appeared in the window of our favourite second-hand camera store McDigital, we decided to rent it for the day to document the festivities. It is a camera that I’ve long been eager to try due the very good reviews and its status as one of the smallest interchangeable mirrorless cameras on the market.

Photokina 2014: Hands-on with the new Samsung NX1

20/09/2014 By Mathieu 6 Comments

The Samsung NX1 is certainly one of the most exciting camera announcements at Photokina this year. Samsung seems to have put the most advanced technology they possibly could in their flagship APS-C mirrorless model. We had a hands-on session at the Samsung booth but unfortunately, despite the presence of lots of samples in the area, they were all pre-production models and the SD card was actually sealed to make sure no one could insert his or her own card. But we were still able to try some other interesting features.
