The kit lens is one of the best on the market, as it indeed covers only 30mm-75mm (Crop 1.5 APS-C), but unlike the 16er kit lens Sony's Nexen is sharp to the corners of the image ( already from F3.5 where = 24mm WW has dimmed to a minimum even at 16mm F4.0 pancake, so it is sharp, ERGO: day flexibility and speed by 3x 20-50er unbeaten) and you can adjust the focus and zoom manually fast and that at a very small size and very low weight. The fact that you will have a break from everyday camera anyway always at hand on the neck and it is totally new and used cheap, I think the point that it no longer fits in a jacket pocket, quite unnecessary. More importantly there rather that it is much lighter than a Sony Nex, more MP offers, is cheaper and better lens and has obtained access to the total cost, low profile, lightweight and light-strong, sharp Samsung Pancakes.
And right here is the transition from positive to negative: When NX1100 Although the autofocus has been in contrast to the NX1000 accelerated somewhat, but the noise behavior has not changed - after all, you can limit the Mode P ISO AUTO MAX, but unfortunately only conditionally helps because if even one little bit less light is available in the evening (I speak here not even the sunset or the brightly lit street at night, or a skyline of a city that is illuminated by the skyscrapers), you can zoom Forgot the lens and remain immediately on 20mm setting, so you "shorter" in hardly be endured can save shutter speeds, so you do not always need to set up a stand, what you simply do not have time or even receive permission (otherwise weren professional photos moderate and there will still hold the photographers are paid for their motives ...). Thus one so the evening gets meaningful quality without flash, you have to set the ISO sensitivity often ISO1000 and thus ends up with the infamous ISO1600 + settings where the camera loses much resolution. Remedied only 30mm Pancake with F2.0 (but then only 45mm) to push the exposure time under 1s and the ISO speed to 800 or if necessary in 1600 at even shorter exposure time for example, a port-shot from the position of a rocking ship ,
Battery power is also slightly above average. For compact Knipsen there was traveling on average always losers from photo 250-350, the Samsung NX1000 / 1100 then further shot perk up about 500 photo and especially the batteries are good and cheap.
The SMART multi-field AF operates a day quickly and easily, but once the light decreases (evening / night / interiors), he of course has massive problems and you have to manually focusing, so you can avoid the annoying assist illuminator (is great if you in the church is and then the AF auxiliary light is so bright that everyone looks the same, that you take a picture). Then the presentation of the non-existing optical viewfinder to gamble, since the display is electronically lame and inaccurate.
What I find funny is that I have constantly been above stunken against Sony NEX models, but unlike Samsung, Sony has a single function on board, which should get the Samsung, so that Samsung would be unbeatable with kit lens 20-50er , We're talking about the brilliant "superior automatic" at Sony, in the faint Lenses no longer an issue are by adding up quickly pays for up to 6 images at a photo (multiple exposure), so that one ISO> 1600 may go, but, in principle, therefore, the sensor surface increases, so that it no longer roars at high ISO values. Always there for each manufacturer a limitation that makes it necessary to invest in expensive lenses or a second camera (image quality / focal length / intensity / size / weight / price / service / speed / flexibility Lens fleet).
Conclusion: good to very good and for under 150 Euro unbeatable for the price given here mediocre, for under 185 Euro new (display models for example). Have due to the fact that you need for the evening a more intense look toyed with the idea, the unit re-sell (because then the price would amount to 400-500 euros), but frankly you can also use the kit lens reasonably live since more than 85% of the pictures are taken anyway during the day and for some pictures in the evening you can lean on somewhere and thus increase the exposure time to 0,75-1,5s so you stay under ISO1600. And along with the 20MP one has enough potential, so you privately but in sharp 7-10MP ends up with noisy images where you would have to cut down on on 2,5-3,5MP in snapping or even only streaks and noise would. Had the Samsung NX1000 / 1100 rapid multiple exposure, you would have no more money in a bright fixed focal length invest more, because you as a private user as opposed to professional, has time. But professionals use due to lack of money and the factor to factor coming amortization eh equipment that costs more than 1,500 euros.
