Samsung NX1 experience: the future shape of the camera?


The future shape of digital camera like? Each camera manufacturers ideas may be completely different. In popular camera phones and the popularity of the case, the ordinary consumer cameras have very small living space, the traditional vendors to focus on the big end portable,

high-end micro alone reversed, while Samsung and other manufacturers are emerging that the future of digital cameras is "intelligent."

  Samsung NX1 is a use APS-C format, with 28.2 million effective pixels Mirrorless interchangeable-lens camera, equipped DRIMe V image processor, support for 15fps burst mode and 4K video capture. Even more interesting is that it also uses Samsung's own Tizen system, enabling some smart shooting experience through the application. So, whether Samsung NX1 design trends of the future a digital camera? First look at its experience.

  Body design: the quasi-professional style

  although the use of a single micro-mirror-free design, but Samsung NX1 volume is not small, and Panasonic GH series is somewhat similar. Of course, despite the loss of some portability, but more comfortable body size provides more room for maneuver, such as built-in dual dial, rich interfaces, such as shoulder-screen, while the 3-inch AMOLED touch screen and flip 2.46 million pixels OLED viewfinder is very comprehensive configuration.

  Tizen system: Rich shooting features

  Samsung NX1 Tizen system equipped with a built-in WIFI, NFC connectivity, compatible with Android system, intelligent shooting experience by installing Samsung camera management applications. Application provides remote viewfinder, fast transfer, professional image processing functions. In actual use, we found that still need to improve the connection stability, rich feature set, but did enhance the usability of the camera, especially the excellent photo editing, sharing.

  Performance and Quality: still need to upgrade

  Samsung NX1 equipped with the new AF system, with 205 phase focus, focus speed is impressive. Of course, in low-light conditions, the contrast of the focus will be replaced, so not without their drawbacks. It is worth mentioning that, 15fps continuous shooting performance is very good, thanks to the effective combination of multi-core processors and graphics cards, DRIMe V image processing engine, capable of 28.2 million pixels to achieve high-speed continuous shooting, shooting animals in the very dynamic picture advantage.

  Samsung NX1 effect color reproduction is good, the kit 16-50mm f / 2.0-2.8 lens, although soft, but enough to meet the daily shooting needs. The downside is NX1 noise reduction system, generally speaking have the best results within the ISO 800, later upgraded to ISO 1600, although the picture quality is still good, but the handling of the green noise reduction system is not good enough. ISO 3200 or more, the noise will gradually clear that affect the quality details.

  The main reason for this phenomenon is integrated in Samsung APS-C format sensor of 28.2 million pixels, the pixel density is obviously some high, slightly smaller than a single pixel volume, which is a disadvantage compared to competitive models.

Summary

  Generally speaking, the Samsung as we present a camera can shape future reference, it is clear that the implementation of the specific product that performance is not ideal. Some of the main issues NX1 include software stability, high ISO image quality, but high-speed autofocus system, smart shooting experience and share in the form of, or impressive. Although Samsung is camera field face many Japanese manufacturers in the attack, but perhaps focus on smart cameras may be a creative writing field, it is worth a try.
