Nice little camera
By Chris Underwood
This is a nice little camera. It is no DSLR, but it has LOTS of features. The iLens is a handy feature when you’d like to have control of your lens and pictures. The only downside is the noise in the higher iso range compared to similar cameras. I like the versatility of the lenses. they are all superb quality. The form factor is a little awkard but you get use to it. The on/off switch is in an inconvient position just wonder how it will hold up over time. The battery door is also a little flimsy also concerned about durability, but over all this is a nice alternative to a quick shoot when you don’t won’t to drag around a full sized DSLR. I am having fun with the camera and can’t wait to try out new lenses. The iLens future is superb!

Good camera alternative
By Erika
I recently purchased the Samsung NX100. I am a female semi-professional photgrapher and was looking for a smaller alternative to my large older SLR camera. Many of the newer SLRs are simply too big for regular carrying and are too large to comfortable accomodate my hands. I did a lot of searching and comparing similiar products but finally I settled on the Samsung NX100. So far I have found it to be better than expected. The automatic modes are easy to use and the manual photography is easy to use but still gives me the control I am looking for. My biggest problem when selecting the camera was the lack of the built in flash, but the external flash (while a bit larger than I expected) does a great job and does more than any built in flash would be able to do. So far the camera is outdoing my expectations. The kit lens does a good overall job and even does some pretty amazing macro photography. It would have been nice to have the kit lens include image stabilization but it has not been a huge problem thus far. I purchased the item as a kit with the camera, kit lens, flash, zoom lens, and a memory card. I have found the whole package great. I really did a lot of comparing between the samsung, the panasonic and the olympus equivalents, and ultimately the overall larger megapixels and sensor with the lower price brought me to Samsung. Prior to this I did not know Samsung to be in the camera market, only appliances and electronics. But I feel now that this camera is out there, Samsung really has a shot at being a quality camera maker. I would highly recommend this as a quality smaller scale alternative or even for an ameatur photographer wanting to learn more about shooting manually (the I function on this camera makes it nearly impossible to not learn the manual functions). Thus far it is a great product and I would really consider this an overall good camera.

Small is Beautiful
By Jazz Guy
I saw an ad for the Samsung NX100 on the back cover of a photography magazine and then read reviews. I ordered the next day, and so you might consider this an impulse purchase. I’ve given this device five stars, so please understand that my somewhat less than positive comments are minor versus the overall quality and performance.
