Now a few months ago, the new Samsung NX210 system camera available on the German market and the popularity - using, as a clearly limited. It is unfounded at first glance and probably only the simple result of burgeoning uncertainty. It trusts the established brands in this field. Samsung on the other hand it is trying once again about the price and if you look over this purchasable package (camera + lens), then it gets interesting. Because the accessories are also affordable and waives any surcharges for the manufacturer's name. But back to the beginning. Already the first contact leaves a positive impression. In his hands is a classic metal design with clean lines and a valued grip on the right front of the camera. Direct minimalist, if you look at this cleverly placed blue ring on the lens sees (the only color and therefore the immediate eye-catcher).
Overall, the NX210 is thus failed quite compact, suitable for system camera also light in weight and with the right lens for every pocket. The connections have to accept no compromise and there is also the practical addition to HDMI Mini-USB port. For completeness, the holders for the strap and the hole for the external flash should be mentioned. Even with the software Samsung provides ample material: Intelli-Studio 3.0, Samsung RAW Converter 4, PC Auto Backup, Adobe Reader. Of course there are also some free on the net, but especially the RAW Converter is a nice and valuable gift. That's just the other side of Samsung: you have to do without generally at this manufacturer on very little. Accordingly, the current standard is included in the case and is expected to first kill migrating from Digital.- on system cameras.
A self-employment for several hours is a prerequisite to understand basic things. Although it may sound trite, but for me at that time was (Sony NEX-3) the loud noise when triggered the first serious change. It involves the focal plane shutter, which makes itself noticeable when triggered and will only therefore installed because otherwise in each interchangeable lens, a shutter would be integrated. This situation would ultimately lead some disadvantages. Otherwise known much in the field of high-priced digital cameras. For example, the dial-loaded for each shooting mode, which Samsung has added some points. For starters, here provides the "Smart Auto mode", which automatically adjusts the ambient conditions and is particularly suitable for quick snapshots.
Those who like to want to play around a little, is with "P", "A", "S" and "M" to fill his time. Otherwise, even the "Aperture Priority Mode" a fine thing, where some very nice effects romp (eg Fisheye, Sketch, Miniature etc.). The "Scene Mode" should be familiar to anyone who has this familiar entertainment and so we find the last settings, namely "Video Mode" and "Wi-Fi". I would like to leave is not large at this point about the video mode - it works, he uses the format MP4 (H.264) and limits the maximum length to 25 minutes at 30 or 24 frames / s. As with all cameras it's a nice addition, who would seriously make videos, should set a camcorder anyway. The primary interests are the Samsung NX210 and in the sphere of photography.
Those who already had the NX200 will recognize familiar: The technical data of the receiving sensor of the Samsung NX210 are identical and move on an APS-C sensor. The ISO range goes from ISO 100 to ISO 12,800 incredible. Of course, a joke of the marketing department of Samsung. From ISO 1600 slight loss of detail is visible, but absolutely not recognizable for normal shooting. Of course the quality of the pictures has a lot to do with the lens attached - but Samsung has indeed there is a wide selection of good opportunities. Otherwise, one is impressed by the work during a Bilders. The NX210 here affords no break and particularly clear which is facing one of the raw images, where no corrections are made on the side of the camera.
Also not unimportant is the lightning. Samsung has attributes to the small external flash SEF8A supplied with 28mm wide-angle and guide number 8 (ISO 100). In comparison, the most expensive option (SEF20A) offers a guide number 20. But it does at the end of each decide for themselves. The included features for all beautiful pictures, effects, and provides along the way is the possibility to take 3D photos. Of course you need to also have a 3D-capable TV, including 3D glasses. So one option that will use very few. An addendum to will follow in the coming weeks at below site. What else is there to report? The AF mode splits into single image, continuous and manual.
The AF area offers a choice (eg to blur the subject more clearly highlight), multi AF is used for landscape shot and face recognition, up to 10 people to adjust. And because you also always enjoyed photographed with a friend / girlfriend - can not miss the self-portrait. Here is an advisory of the camera when the faces in the image center are. A smile detection, however, is not available. The menu was well resolved with clues about each setting, although the possibility of automatic rotation recorded in vertical format images will not work with me. Well. Perhaps the new firmware update helps thence. But as you can see the diversity of the Samsung NX210 is limitless for the first few weeks.
Certainly one could still so much more to write about, but the essential point remains well in the end the image quality. And this is convincing and provides consistently good results. Although you have to wait a bit for RAW images, it creates the NX210 your JPEG continuous shooting at high quality 8 / s with up to 11 shots and also the idea of the self-timer, this manually set between 2-30 s, remains a successful Detail of many other. Samsung was able to convince myself with GPS (geotagging) is still present, and having a satisfactory battery life of approximately 150 minutes, has therefore long his joy. Otherwise you can indeed afford a second battery - an external battery charger is included in the delivery.
