The Samsung NX10 is one of the most impressive compact system cameras. It may lack the wow-factor of Sony's NEX or Olympus' PEN ranges, but it's actually more comfortable than both to hold. It's also easy to use, and offers great build...

Despite our qualms, Samsung’s NX10 gets our vote above the same small-body offerings from Sony and Olympus. We had easy access to the most important functions; a good body design; onboard flash and an electronic viewfinder (both not present on...

The NX10 is a nice camera that is hampered in way too many ways to make it stand out in a market that is quickly filling up. A well implemented auto focus system, good LCD/viewfinder combo and easy to hold DSLR styled body makes this camera quite...

EVIL cameras are obviously the hottest camera type of the year. In Japan we're now seeing a market share of around 40% which is beyond the wildest expectations. It makes sense that the non-traditional electronics companies such as Panasonic, Sony...

A year ago I would have been hard pressed to find a camera in Samsung's lineup that I could recommend to a friend. However the NX10 may just be a portend of better things coming out of Samsung's camera division. While it is not as compact as...
