Samsung NX300

Samsung's top of the range compact system camera is a real contender

Settings adjust on lens ring ; Responsive & hinged touchscreen ; New faster auto focus system ; Very good image quality

Lacking built-in flash ; Poor buffer performance

The ample touchscreen on the rear of the camera offers access to a majority of the camera's controls, as do a selection of buttons located around the camera body, although for the majority of our setting changes during testing we found ourselves using...

Samsung NX300

It's got the same sized sensor, the same resolution, and bears more than a passing similarity to its predecessors. So what's so great about the NX300? The NX line-up was already strong, and the NX300 solidifies its position as one of the best compact...

iFunction control system, low light performance, APS-C sensor, large and bright articulated screen, resolution; plenty of hand-holding for beginners that doesn't get in the way of more experienced users, bundled Lightroom software

Some barrel distortion in more clinical tests, no bundled external charger

The NX line-up was already strong, and the NX300 solidifies its position as one of the best compact system camera options currently on sale.

Samsung NX300 review

Our only quibble is that there's the tiniest amount of softness – not a great deal, just enough that images aren't absolutely sharp and may need tweaking in post-production. However, noise levels are almost undetectable up to reasonably high ISOs.

The NX300 is a great CSC, with decent image quality for both stills and video and good build quality. It's easy to use, too. However, the price tag is a little steeper than similar cameras.

Samsung NX300 review

There's a new top dog in Samsung's camera line-up. The NX300 boasts a new sensor, articulated screen and faster responses, yet at the same time there's a very comforting familiarity about it -- in more ways than one.

Large touch-sensitive AMOLED screen; Lens Priority mode; Image quality; Ease of use; Bundled copy of Adobe Photoshop Lightroom.

Some barrel distortion on raw shots; Slightly bulky when compared to other compact system cameras.

With a large touchscreen, built-in Wi-Fi and an APS-C sized sensor there's a lot to like about the Samsung NX300. It consistently produces high-quality shots, is easy to use -- even if you're a novice -- and ships with a copy of Adobe Photoshop...

The competition was simple; upload images each month fitting to the theme. The first was leading lines, followed by marvellous macro and bringing up the rear was low-light. The idea was each entrant would have created a portfolio of three images and...

Samsung NX300 review

On the whole, the improvements to the NX300 are incremental rather than radical. However, as the NX210 was already a very good camera, the same can be said of the NX300. The new model is more stylish when viewed from the front and top. Handling is...
