What is the name of the samsung mount again?
NX
Cool! Real competitor to Sony Nex new bodies 🙂
http://www.samsung.com/us/photography/digital-cameras/EV-NX200ZBABUS
Price: 900 $
No accessory port? No external EVF…
Well.. external EVF a part, it looks beautiful with great functions. Just put the 30mm or 20mm on it and you will have a wonderful street camera
899,- and not even the OPTION to use an EVF? NX is off my radar again, what a waste.
that camera is called the nx 10/20 😛
And the nx20 will cost what, 1099,-?
Do Samsungs come out at a discounted price?
?t looks unbalanced w?th the zoom lens but could be good combination with a pancake prime.
im not a fan of samsung cameras but i like the ‘control on the lens’ approach.
Have anyone seen the NX200 samples at high-ISO?
I have to say I’m very impressed!
ISO 3200

ISO 6400

Wonder how the sensor performs in useable ISO and dynamic range…
I’m surprised at the price. It’s more expensive than the Nex c3 or 5n. Sony just set the bar super high with their new evf and nex-7 so I’m afraid Samsung comes up a bit short for me again. If they release an external evf of the same quality as Sonys then I will consider Samsung because of their lenses but not otherwise.
I think the inclusion of IBIS is a nice move. That and a stronger native lens lineup, make it an interesting competitor to Nex.
Digital stabilization isn’t real IBIS from what i gather http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Image_stabilization#Digital_image_stabilization
samsung inventing hardware ibis all of a sudden would be a real shocker, and probably make me buy their system right now if DR is good, but it doesn’t look like it.
Good point, Soldar. I hope this is not a bad implementation of digital stabilization…. you are probably right as there is no mention of sensor shift.
lenses are too big compared to m4/3 !!!
In general, comparable lenses will be smaller on m4/3, but at least Samsung has a couple decent pancakes – the 20/2.8 and 30/2, which is more than what Sony.
This and the 30/2 would be awesome.
Darn, I was hoping for an articulating/tilting screen like the TL500 or Nex.
why are people saying there’s no EVF option? there’s a hot shoe clearly visible with which an EVF can be used.
I’m pretty surprised at the price- but then again, this does seem to be Samsung’s step towards being a real competitor rather than continual reputation as the budget brand. Hopefully the street prices will still be lower though.
I have to say, it looks like a pretty solid contender, especially considering that the Sony nEX7 is even more expensive. the only thing that irks me about the design is that they put the brand name right on the grip, clearly visible. i guess all companies do that though.
with 1080p video recording (not i) it is beating 95% of competitors (almost all m43 format cameras), but what is the point of it if there will be only mono mic?
fail
GF2 has stereo, GH2 great stereo mic & on olympus I have a choice of SEMA & few external mics to choose from.
video is not only about the picture, when voices are funny and there’s zero depth in it because of mono sound
hopefuly I’m wrong, It was also #1 on my radar list until I saw m43 Panasonic X 2011/2012 lenses anouncement…
But your hand covers the grip meaning it’s far less visible than most brands. Perhaps Samsung are aware that there is zero credibility to the brand still. This is coming from someone that’s owned and been very impressed by two Samsung cameras.
They’re good, but they sure as hell aren’t cool.
Once the inevitable massive price drops kick in, this will be a brilliant choice given the upcoming lenses, the existing ones are great too, the 30mm is a seriously good lens for the money.
It looks like about the same size as the NX100
No accessory port under the hot shoe, compare it to the x100.
Built-in flash?
But it is a beauty !!!
…. and the beta sample images look like Samsung has designed a fantastic (and superior) sensor.
Looks like one really has to use the i-control ring on the lense (or whatever it is called) – I do not see any other inviting control wheels.
Wow this is a real killer!!!! Body looks so nice now!!! Sensor look so amazing regarding high iso! This body look thin… And seem to have a lot of buttons… I love it!!!! Congratulation samsung!!! Regarding nx lenses, samsung has imo managed to make The best MILC system
The NX200 looks absolutely fantastic

The precision of manufacturing seems to be even better than sony !!!!
And the sensor has many technological innovations, as you’ll see when they “officially” present camera to the public. Samsung has a real killer camera.
Better then Sony is not that hard, I hope the new Samsungs are finished nicer then their old ones. I am interested in this as it has image stability in the body, unlike previous ones. It seems a little pricey, but will see what the street price is in November.
1080p video but at what frame rates? Any 60p? 24p?
Is NX short for NEX? ;-p
I hope it will be cheaper in Singapore…
The price is considerably more than X100’s msrp. Though it includes nice upgrades (improved sensor, better video, etc.), the accessory port doesn’t seem to be below the hotshoe anymore as noticed by others here. Maybe for $900, it includes the 30/2 pancake?
On the other hand, the E-P3 has a touchscreen, faster AF, built-in flash and accessory port below the hotshoe for the same price. The X100 has better sensor though.
The NEX-5N is $200 less and has a tilting touchscreen but has less resolution and dials/buttons.
Still looks like a nice mirrorless though, and it’s good to have another option.
Er, the X100 MSRP is $1200. Do you mean NX100?
PS: The NX200 has very fast AF and a touch screen interface.
Looks good, better than NX100 for sure, but lacks one more wheel to be enthusiast’s model. And I don’t like the idea of add on flash Sony introduced with NEX. Yeah, it sounds good when a reviewer writes you have the smallest camera in class, but from usability point of view is bad. It’s bad for carrying, it occupies the hotshoe, draws power from camera battery, (probably) cannot bounce and is still pretty useless in many situations: low GN and low sync speed.
Nice grip though, one Olympus should copy…
Features are nice on paper, now let’s wait and see if the new sensor is better than the old one.
It has two wheels, one is barely visible on top behind the shutter release.
You’re right, missed that one. With their iFn button on lens, it makes a fair amount of available manual controls there.
I like the IFA 2011 press kit which includes still the NX11:

Haha, Samsung showed already the NX200: http://www.engadget.com/2011/09/01/live-from-samsung-ifa-2011-press-event/
