Samsung NX20 Reviews

Photographyblog reviews the Samsung NX20 and writes;
“If you’re attracted by the thought of a DSLR but don’t like the additional bulk, then the NX20 CSC is certainly a very capable alternative, offering similar image quality in a smaller package. Highly recommended.”
Rating: ★★★★½

Techradar reviews the Samsung NX20 and writes;
“The Samsung NX20 offers an exciting feature set, excellent quality at high sensitivities, good ergonomics and features to satisfy the needs of both experienced and novice photographers alike in a compact body.”
Rating: ★★★★☆

CNET reviews the Samsung NX20 and writes;
“All of this would count for nothing if the quality of its output wasn’t up to scratch, but there’s no cause for concern there. Colours are realistic, illumination is balanced and sharp contrasts were a consistent feature of my tests.”
Rating: ★★★★½

Pocket-lint reviews the Samsung NX20 and writes;
“This is a decent camera, and it’s the high-resolution, low ISO shots that it can produce that make it a real winner. Just like the NX200, it’s image quality that’s the biggest lure.”
Rating: ★★★★☆

Expertreviews reviews the Samsung NX20 and writes;
“The best thing about the Samsung NX20 is its image quality. Other cameras we’ve seen with massive resolutions have merely served to highlight the limitations of their lenses, but the NX20 delivered incredibly sharp details, surpassing the 24-megapixel Sony NEX-7.”
Rating: ★★★★☆

Ephotozine reviews the Samsung NX20 and writes;
“if you’re looking for a high quality mirrorless compact system camera with good image quality and excellent connectivity then the NX20 delivers and has an abundance of features to experiment with as well.”
Rating: ★★★★½

Trustedreviews reviews the Samsung NX20 and writes;
“The Samsung NX20 is the first compact system camera to offer built-in Wi-Fi connectivity, but that’s far from the only reason to consider it. Its EVF is a vast improvement over Samsung’s previous efforts, the vari-angle LCD monitor is immensely useful, and overall image quality is excellent.”
Rating: ★★★★☆

Digitalversus reviews the Samsung NX20 and writes;
“The video mode is relatively comprehensive. It films 1080p HD video at 25p saved as an .MP4 file. Quality is good, with a nice, crisp image. Dynamic range holds up well but some rolling shutter effects are visible with fast movement (vertical lines end up looking slightly curved).”

Samsung NX20 User Reviews

Great Price for a great camera
“The difference in weight between this Samsung NX20 and a Pentax (without a lens) was amazing. The difference in photo quality was negilable and although the mounts are different, two lenses came with it and I figured I’d get a converter after I was comfortable with the camera.” – By R. Cronin

N20 Samsung
“First off let me say that I’ve had this camera for about 3 weeks and no complain. So much features I still have so much to learn. Photos are amazing and clear. WiFi is a huge plus I love taking pictures and being able to send it to loved ones who can’t be here for birthdays and etc.” – By Bml

Big Features In A Compact Camera!
“When I told the rep I’d think about it, he pulled out the NX20. It was just as quiet and it had a viewfinder as well as a flip out LCD screen! And the body looked like a camera, not a pack of cigs. I was sold. I pulled out my Visa card and picked up the NX20 and the 50-200mm Lens. A perfect kit.” – By J. Lowe

Good camera
“I bought this for the NX lens pancake series. I think Samsung hits the nail dead on with “lenses first, camera follows” : These pancakes: 16mm f2.4; 20mm f2.8; and 30mm f2.0 designs have no equals, extremely compact,feels and look great on the NX20, and are very well priced.” – By shredlock

Samsung NX20
“This camera was designed towards DSLR users, however mostly reporters are required to upload images instantly to the main servers. I have the camera for two weeks now and still didn’t read how to use WI-FI. Quality of the image is definitely better.” – By Julius Glickstein
Rating: ★★★★☆

Best mirrorless camera at this price
“Display screen is very good, it has an EVF but I never needed to use it even under sun light. Image quality is very good, I dont think there is any real difference between cameras of same sensor size.” – By Jose
