MEGATechNews checks out one of Samsung's mirrorless cameras
When I was asked to review the Samsung NX-210, I wasn’t particularly excited about the prospect. I’ve always had a negative predisposition towards Samsung cameras and actually any Compact Camera System (CSC) system for that matter. With electronic viewfinders (EVF) (or complete lack thereof), noisy small sensors, and small lens selection, reasons abound why I held a prejudice against the aforementioned systems.Samsung NX-210 Mirrorless Camera Review
The Samsung NX-210 arrived in a very nice black box. I pulled out the all metal body and attached the apparently well made Samsung 18-55mm kit lens. It may have been a “kit” lens, but it’s definitely one of the nicer ones I’ve handled. My initial reaction was one of surprise. It felt solid, and fit in my oversize hands very well. Battery arrived fully charged and Samsung was kind enough to include an SD card. Now off to do some shooting.
As I go though this review, I won’t bore you with specs, test charts, or noise profiles. While I understand these details perfectly, and have even taught photography workshops, I feel they’re not relevant to the real world reviews I present. All images are shot in RAW, and converted in ACR as Apple has yet to release a profile for this camera. Therefore, I could not use Aperture as my image editor as is my normal workflow.
