Samsung NX20 review: Hands-on

The Samsung NX20 is the brand's new flagship Compact System Camera and sports a 20.3-megapixel sensor, Wi-Fi connectivity and a new Clear AMOLED screen

Brilliant AMOLED screen ; Easy to use ; Impressive 20.3MP Sensor

Expensive ; Heavy in the hand

As the replacement model for the NX11, the Samsung NX20 brings with it more megapixels, an improved AMOLED display, an updated chassis design and the all-important Wi-Fi capability. We won't know for sure until we can get our hands on a full review...

Samsung NX20 review

Are the Wi-Fi connectivity features of the 20.3 megapixel Samsung NX20 truly extraordinary? Or an extraneous extravagance?

Great quality at high ISOs ; Good build ; Ergonomic ; Articulated AMOLED screen ; Wi-Fi and GPS

Reflective screen and EVF ; Animations slow down changing modes ; Not compatible with all Android devices ; Slow AF in video recording

Samsung NX20 review

Samsung's NX series has been technological from the get-go, but the latest NX20 model - the follow up to the NX11 - adds Wi-Fi to its features list.

Great image quality for such high-resolution, classic design, enough lenses to tae on the competition, vari-angle screen, built-in SVGA-resolution EVF

Inconsistent white balance, colours can lack punch, processing takes too long per file, burst mode "Processing" lock out

The NX20 is a decent compact system camera with its relative highs and lows. If sports or fast action are your thing then the fast - but not fastest - autofocus and slow processing times will be off-putting. But landscape photographers and the like...

Samsung NX20 review

NX-series cameras were once the also-rans of the compact system camera (CSC) market, but with the NX20, Samsung has found its mojo. This is one of the most expensive CSCs currently available, but there are some compelling arguments to justify the...

Superb controls, incredibly sharp photos and innovative Wi-Fi functions – a big leap forward for the NX system

Samsung NX20 review

The Samsung NX20 is a great camera, consistently producing sharp images full of detail and realistic colours. It's a joy to use, thanks in part to the i-Function lens system, which makes it easy to adjust the most common shooting controls. However, at...

Expensive

Shooting with the NX20 is effortless and fun. Samsung's industrial designers have done a great job of building a gadget that feels good in your hand and has all the crucial controls perfectly placed to fall under your fingers. Chief among them is the...

Review: Samsung NX20

Boasting Wi-Fi capabilities, the NX20 comes with a large sensor, a good range of features and a handy swivel screen.

Good low-light performance; fast 1/8000 maximum shutter speed; useful articulating screen and inbuilt EVF

Lacks GPS capabilities and touchscreen controls

Overall, the Samsung NX20 offers ILC users a boost with its Wi-Fi capabilities, making it easier for social media junkies to get their "fix" on the go. It also offers a good option for compact upgraders looking for a shooter that provides dSLR-like...
