Samsung NX30

 

Samsung delivers with this innovative CSC that can upload straight to Dropbox

Excellent design ; Superb EVF and LCD ; Wi-Fi and NFC ; Dropbox integration

So-so plastic body ; Over-processes JPEGs from ISO 1600

A nice touch is the inclusion of the full version of Adobe’s well-regarded editing software, Lightroom 5, which costs £102.57 direct from Adobe. The NX30 also has a neat Picture Wizard menu containing nine presets and three custom settings to set image...

Samsung NX30 review

 

Fantastic all-rounder with lots of added extras

Articulating touchscreen ; Great handling ; Tilting EVF

Easy to accidentally set focus point ; Limited number of lenses ; Buttons not customisable

It's hard to fault this camera from Samsung, it's great to handle and images are superb. If only the NX system was a little broader.

Samsung NX30 Review - A Big Step in the Right Direction

 

The Samsung NX30 is the successor to last year's flagship NX20, and it sports many changes both on the outside and inside that should please many camera enthusiasts. Does this mean we recommend it? Find out after the jump.

Good handling; Good image quality (but not best-in-class); Gorgeous, tlltable AMOLED display; Easy to use NFC and Wi-Fi features; Comes with Lightroom 5

Big; build quality doesn't feel premium; Slightly small EVF image, noticeable lag; Image details are smudged at higher ISOs; Pricier that some competitors who are as good or better; External battery charger not included

Samsung NX30 review

 

What the Samsung NX30 lacks in build quality it makes up for in handling. The placement of the buttons has been refined from its predecessor and made even better. In-hand, the camera feels very well balanced, even with some of the larger lenses in...

Samsung NX30 review

 

Image quality, features and design make this a tempting – and viable – alternative to a semi-pro DSLR

The Samsung NX30 represents a seriously tempting package, offering the best features of a DSLR without the potential bulk. With a rapidly growing lens line-up, it’s almost as flexible, too, which makes the £899 asking price – roughly equivalent to a...

Samsung NX30 Review

 

Although the NX30 might not boast the best build quality of all CSCs in its class, it's a model that has an awful lot going for it.
