Samsung Galaxy NX Review
Galaxy NX Features
The Touchscreen
It has a 4.77 inch touchscreen- the world's largest touchscreen on any camera. This is used to drive everything from the apps to different exposure settings. You also have the i-Function button on the side of the lens. This allows you to go in and quickly access the most common imaging variables such as aperture, shutter speed, and ISO. It's a feature that's very unique to Samsung cameras. It's great for changing the settings on the fly.
The screen is a really crisp and sharp display, the same kind of screen you'd find on Smartphones. It's quite superb for composing images.
One of the greater functions of having a larger touchscreen at the rear is to be able to scroll through your images easily and quickly. You can zoom in by using the pinch-and-zoom gestures so you can check your detail and sharpness. The image has black lines down both sides because the sensors are 3:2 aspect whereas the screen is 16:9.
Up towards the right of the screen you can access the edit screen where you can apply different effects.
One of the big differences between the Galaxy NX and the Galaxy camera is battery life. The battery of the Galaxy camera tends to come up short, having to recharge it every few hours. They've improved this with the Galaxy NX by fitting a much larger battery into the hand grip. The battery is good for up to 420 shots, so you can keep shooting without having to frequently recharge.
As you lift your eye up to the eye sensor above the feed of the screen transfers to the electronic viewfinder. There is a little bit of delay between the two. Also at the back of the screen you have your Smart Panel where you can change all your camera's settings bringing up the different variables including ISO, shutter speed, aperture, and exposure compensation. You can change these very easily since the screen is responsive.
Since there's no mode dial on the camera, you have a mode option depicted as a mode icon on the right. This loads up the different modes that you can toggle through using the scroll dial located on the top plate. Once you've accessed them, you can go in and push down the scroll dial (pushing it forward) to control the different shutter speeds, aperture values, and ISO near the top of the screen. Since the icons are listed at the top, when you're shooting from low angles it does make it difficult to see since the electronic viewfinder does block them. It would have been better if they were moved slightly further across so you can see them when you're looking down.
When operating the camera, you have the option to go back and access the main Android home screen by holding in the scroll dial on the top. Here you can access different apps.

Other Key Features
Camera Size, Sensor, Wi-Fi Support...
From the front the Galaxy NX looks very similar to previous NX models such as the NX 20. It's not really until you start turning the camera around and taking a look inside and start to realize things are a little bit different. The camera is very thin across the top on the right side, but then it's has this really big protruding hand grip. In the hand it gives a really comfortable feel with a nice little protrusion at the back of it where your thumb can rest.
At its heart it has a 20.3MP sensor and it's the APS-C type that's found within most DSLRs so it can produce great image quality. It also offers an ISO range that runs between 100 and 25,600 which doesn't need to be expanded.
The Galaxy NX shares a lot of its features with Samsung's other compact system camera- the NX 300. As well as the same sensor and the same ISO range, the camera can shoot at 8.6 frames/second (pretty quick for a mirrorless camera) and the maximum shutter speed goes up to 1/6000th of a second.
When you're shooting both the jpeg and RAW files are displayed on the timeline. The other advantage of having and running the Android based operating system is you can edit your shots quickly on the camera rather than having to go back and edit them on your laptop or computer.
As well as being wi-fi equipped, the Galaxy NX is 3G and 4G enabled, meaning you can quickly upload your shots to social media sites in any remote location if you don't have a wi-fi hotspot.
