Samsung NX200

At 20.3MP it certainly packs plenty of resolution, but does the NX200 deliver the image quality to match?

Excellent overall image quality ; Delivers plenty of detail ; Solid build quality

Not the most comfortable camera to hold ; Detachable flash feels a bit flimsy ; Image processing while in Continuous drive mode is a bit slow

Samsung NX200 review

Fully-loaded compact system camera with fabulous features

Snappy AF performance in good light ; New i-Function technology ; Improved build quality and ergonomics ; Good range of digital filters ; Expanding range of available lenses

Short battery life ; Occasional slight inaccuracies with WB and metering ; Slower performance in low light and when shooting raw files ; No viewfinder option

After a year of marketing the popular NX100, Samsung has released its feature-packed replacement, the NX200. The new compact system camera (CSC) goes up against the likes of the Panasonic Lumix DMC-GX1, the Sony NEX-5N and others in Sony's mighty NEX...

Samsung NX200

A follow on from last year's NX100, the NX200 has a lot more to offer, and should have sorted some of the problems of the three-star-rated NX100 . Although the high price and higher-still megapixel count initially cast the ‘Lint team with doubt, the...

Low ISO image quality, hotshoe, manual movie control, OLED screen, huge improvement over NX100

Poor battery life, absurdly slow RAW processing times, issues with low light focusing, colour noise in shots above ISO 1600

Although the high price and higher-still megapixel count initially cast the ‘Lint team with doubt, the NX200 does a sterling job of delivering the goods where it counts.

The Samsung NX200 is a serious looking compact system camera, arriving with an impressive run of specs. A 20.3-megapixel APS-C sensor lies at its heart,

Samsung NX200 review

Samsung's previous NX series models have been chunkier and heavier than models from the likes of Sony and Panasonic, but the new NX200 changes that – at least a little bit.

Samsung NX200 review

The samsung NX200 is proof that compact system cameras should be taken seriously as alternatives to DSLRs because images from this camera outresolve even the likes of the Nikon D7000 and Canon EOS 7D. The NX200 feels solid and operation is speedy for a...

Samsung NX200

The Samsung NX200 is a mirrorless camera with a 20.3 megapixel APS-C CMOS sensor, ISO 100 to 12,800, single and continuous autofocus, lens shift image stabilisation, smart flash, 3-inch AMOLED display and full HD (1080p) video shooting. The good The...

Compared to the big budget DLSR cameras, the Samsung NX200 more than holds its own. With the NX200 you’ve got the great picture quality of a DSLR with the compact feel of a compact. If you can put up with an awkward grip, the Samsung NX200 is worth...

Expert Review

Inheriting the NX lens mount, the Samsung NX200 is built around an entirely new 20.3Mp APS-C sized sensor and no longer uses the chip from the Samsung's NX11 series. One gripe with the NX200's predecessor - the NX100 - was its plastic build quality and...
