To feel: small justifiable is the system camera, with its pleasantly perceptible weight, comfortable to hold and can be operated very well in spite of the many buttons. They would not all have been necessary - the most goes over the folding 3.3-inch touchscreen. The turn can not rotate so that before a self-portrait on the screen you can see how to come off.
If only ... the display is probably over, because "original" is not. We have actually seen better in the competition. There compensated for the lack of quality full viewfinder, although it can be read just as stupid in direct sunlight, like all the other billions of mobile phone, camera, tablet displays this world ... but "something is always".
Operation is intuitive. Clear menus and quickly searchable programs leave nothing to be desired. Those who wish can be loaded and adjusted via the Fn menu on the display all relevant values s' detail. But rather what the familiar for people and are challenged with the conventional automatic or the Smart programs.
Thanks to solid sized technology and a newly developed image processor, succeed fast tripping and tack-sharp images, even with the supplied lens 18-55er. That's enough for now. You can find out what the camera (compared to the old camera or current competitors) can and most importantly - what you own hinbringt so. Later you can accessory retailers look to "be" to find objective. Initially the 18-55er taut, power zoom is not the point. Since you have to ran to the "hands" and know what you want, otherwise there just self-produced "stuttering" when zooming. Happens of course only the video and has nothing to do with the quality of 18-55er. The thing is small, accurate and fast (Tracking AF), which counts. Since making the film with 60 fps in HD genuine joy that results also and you can zoom in the beginning so easy times Bissel try "dry" before it gets serious.
Personal tip for which it has just like:
With an additional 18-200er (which instantaneously -Mitte 05 / 2013- unfortunately only slightly less expensive than the camera itself), there is indeed a 18-55er left, but covers many "motif situations" from that video can get a little more accentuated / Create and still drags only the essentials around with you more creative. The leftover 18-55er one can sink into the bay.
But you do not ... your Choice.
We have time to say a few more word about the next highlight of the NX300 - the sensor size. The Designed for 20.3 MP APS-C / CMOS sensor of the NX300 is 23.5 x 15.7 mm in advance higher than the common APS-C format, which normally herumwerkelt with 16 MP in the current DSLR and other system cameras. Even Nikon's in-house development "DX" can not compete in size (almost). Large sensor in the NX300 means more and larger pixels, which means more light sensitivity and that in turn means less noise in higher ISO ranges.
Or in short: Better pictures, anyway - even if the light is sometimes scarce.
Who wants lichtechnisch stoking again or must, can plug the supplied flash SEF-8A on the NX300. Guide Number 8 is not a big hit but for an indoor party documentary reichts already. The hot shoe also allows other external flash units (TTL).
Software-based "crashes" were hitherto's just as image loss (who only ever told such crap?). Problems I can imagine no more than then when the user slamming the camera buffer with continuous shooting in full resolution and the camera then may eventually simply first has to process the buffer contents.
But that's all "whining at a high level". The highly appreciated Sony Alpha 57 was happening in the self-experiment after only 8 (!) Series images in 16 MP format. There are simply volumes of data on the go that are beyond our imagination. In normal "photo mode" as single image or small series, which happens never, ever (and the Alpha 57 is not).
However, I recommend everyone use a clever SD Card. Under Class 10 and min. 40 MB WRITE (!) Speed should not go into the race you, otherwise it will be boring and tedious for the user for the superfast image processor. So - do not skimp on the medium.
Trouble there -as always- if ... the problem is sitting behind the camera.
Those who can and net (the basics at least) do not learn, the NX300 also helps further not critical. Who then devalues the camera because he himself hinbringt nothing, or the software is ruined when unqualified update gizmos not only unfair but also themselves to blame. Of the brand fanatics in principle all "haten" was net "so" is or "so", I will not even start here.
I tried the camera unreservedly purchased, tested and no longer give it ago. It is worth every euro (also the ones they currently costs more than its competitors). Haptics, operation, and speed and image quality are currently valued at Triple-A. For WiFi and uploading pics to F'book or vids on YouTube I previously had as little opportunity as time to use apps and NFC tags or cam to control the mobile phone (Samsung :-). Wanns schee mocht ...
Some of it will probably be avoided (for my part) forever, but on the way to the corresponding lens and videos in 3D Pics record and play them back on a 3D-capable Endgrät (!) - I am already looking forward.
The camera kanns - but the requisite objective is currently (mid 05/2013) Unfortunately at just under 500 Euro.
Three more sets of enclosed full version of Photo Software "Lightroom 4". But have people who value good Photobearbeitungssofware and grad times no "Tausi" for their own Photoshop over had, not so long ago to put down the 100 Euro. The software is compatible with a few more and detailed options for gimmicks to the recordings, photo editing and effects thoroughly recommended, but not necessary for each and "not without" in the operation. Since worth looking into Manual.
Whatever may turn your decision for a new camera - I hope you are just as pleased with her as I did with mine. And if not - and so I've always said Euchs, etc. :-).
