The editors liked
The strong metal body. Jpegs from the camera lack zap — something fixed with the custom style setting. RAW capture produces noticeably better pictures than jpeg. It is worth the effort.
I-Function lenses make controlling settings easy
Gorgeous AMOLED display
With excellent photos for a sub-$1
000 model and a nicely designed user interface
The Samsung NX200 is a compelling option for image-first photographers
Snappy AF performance in good light
New iFunction technology
Improved build quality and ergonomics
Good range of digital filters
Expanding range of available lenses
Fun range of creative filters. Decent video recording and full manual control. Excellent AMOLED screen
The editors didn't like
The time taken to process images is intolerably long and results in locking up certain functions. It is frustrating to see the word “Processing” on the screen and not be able to make control adjustments. Aggressive noise reduction at low ISO can't be turn
No in-body stabilisation
No dedicated video button
$799 (18-55mm lens)
For its price
The NX200 feels light on important features
It lacks an option for a viewfinder
And it cries out for an articulated LCD. And while its shooting performance is fine
In-camera operations like playback and changing settings can get held up
Short battery life
Occasional slight inaccuracies with WB and metering
Slower performance in low light and when shooting raw files
No viewfinder option
No viewfinder option or accessory port. No image stabilisation in 20-50mm kit lens. High ISO images are very noisy
i-Function lenses make controlling settings easy; gorgeous AMOLED display
No in-body stabilisation; no dedicated video button, $799 (18-55mm lens)
Impressive from a technical standpoint and image quality is fantastic. But the limited selection of i-Function lenses hold it back.Related Tags: camera, compact, macworld, macworld australia, NX-200, photo, photography, review, samsung Be Sociable, Sh...

This is a well made, good looking camera that is small and light enough to suit anyone put off a DSLR by its bulk and weight. It produces decent images and it is designed for customers who are beyond point-and-shoot. It faces stiff competition from the Pa...

Available in two different kit lens combinations - either with a 20-50mm or 18.55mm zoom lens - the price at the time of the Samsung NX200's launch seems reasonable, at £699 in the UK, and $899 in the US. While by no means cheap, the cost is on a par with...
20.3 Megapixel APS-C sensor, 7fps burst shooting, 1080p30 movie recording, Full manual exposure control in movie modes, iFn lens button.
Very sluggish buffer write times, Fixed screen and no EVF accessory, Poor use of physical controls, Poor high ISO noise performance.
Samsung NX200 verdict Samsung has its work cut out for attempting to take a slice of the compact system camera market. Best known for its value for money point and shoot compacts, it lacks the pedigree of competitors like Sony, Canon, Nikon, Olympus...

The Samsung NX200's photo quality stands out from the crowd, but its performance and features -- while good -- don't merit its relatively high price.
Excellent resolution and detail, Very good JPEG image quality at low to moderate ISOs, Better high ISO performance than its predecessor, despite the bump in resolution, Very good RAW image quality, Good hue accuracy, Sleeker, more professional camera d...
A significant bump up in price from previous model, Dynamic range not as good as most APS-C rivals, JPEG engine smears subtle detail in reds more so than most other cameras, yet leaves a lot of chroma noise behind at higher ISOs, Default sharpening a b...
It's a good thing the design of the NX200 isn't the only thing Samsung changed. While we genuinely liked the looks of the stylish previous model, the NX100, we had issues with its JPEG image quality when shooting at high ISOs. The all-black, 20.3MP NX2...
