The SAMSUNG NX100 challenges the existing compact mirrorless Digital Interchangeable Lens cameras by providing a larger APS-C CMOS sensor. It succeeds with excellent image quality at the low ISOs and very good image quality up to ISO 400, and even ISO 800 (especially if you shoot in RAW). The screen display is a beautiful 3.0-in. AMOLED. I only wished that it could tilt up and down. Autofocus and operation performance are fast. There is a Mode Dial, a Jog Dial, a Navigation Wheel and the iFn-enabled focus ring that all conspire together to make the important functions easily and quickly accessible. I found the NX100 intuitive to use and with one of the best display info screen ever. RAW and a whole range of semi-auto and full manual shooting modes are available for the advanced photographer. The Samsung NX100 delivers great results in a user-friendly body, easily meeting all the challenges a serious photographer might throw its way. Highly recommended. Cons: The NX100 does not have a built-in viewfinder, nor does it have a built-in pop-up flash.Read full review
Despite being launched way back in 2010, this camera is capable of capturing very sharp images and has a self-cleaning sensor and a hot shoe. The screen is very bright and the controls are easy to use. The lens selection is adequate and inexpensive too. The camera kit was a bargain and therefore I’d highly recommend it!

Super for Macro shots!, Ok for landscapes and great fast shots 30shots per second. http://www.panoramio.com/user/6316109 For my panoramio page with shots from the NX100 (some phone and Fuji as well so check the EXIF data).
Well done Samsung! Dare to be different! Pros: Most affordable way to get into compact interchangeable lens system Excellent image quality - as good as Panasonic User-friendly, can be used as 14mp point and shoot Great AMOLED rear screen Lots of control for advanced users In-camera retouching, editing, filters Lens range likely be cheaper than rivals Stylish looks Cons: No built-in flash No image stabilisation I also have the Panasonic GF1 and this, cheaper, lighter, award winning - see Amateur Photographer 2010 winner entry level camera of the year - is a match, I think, for the GF1 in image quality. The NX100 is similar in size to the GF1 but significantly lighter (in body). The quality of the images is the single best reason for considering this camera. Reviews I have read lament the lack of built-in flash and image stabilisation. Personally, I take very few photos at night so don't much mind these omissions. Though I do miss an optical viewfinder. Sadly, this is the rule rather than the exception these days. The Helios Multifinder is a very affordable solution and covers the kit lenses for the GF1 and the NX100, very handy in bright sunlight, if you are lucky enough to find one. The NX100 has an excellent AMOLED rear screen - probably the best in the micro four thirds category. It is bright and clear and shows all the information you need. Another big feature of the Samsung system is the innovative lens which incorporates a control button for accessing a lot of the camera's settings, a clever idea that many people will find handy, literally. Theoretically, the 14mp APS-C sensor NX100 yields larger print sizes than the GF1. A whopping 63x42 inches! Of course no-one prints their photos that size but it does mean you have more scope to crop images and still make good size prints. The NX100 dares to be different in other ways too and video is very good in the MPEG4 format (H264). Overall, this is a brilliant starting camera for moving up from point and shoot and, my guess is, Samsung will be a big player in the compact interchangeable lens market as they expand their range of high quality, affordable alternatives to the established group.Read full review
i have to pay 28.37 ponds for the gov, it makes the camera a bit more expensive, but the camera is good for me, i'm not professional anyway
