Not perfect - but all respect!

So, I have the Panasonic GF1 and the Samsung NX10 looked at for ages. Rolled tests, sample photos shot, try the user interface. And no matter - how to look at it that Samsung is not perfect, the Panasonic is not. And Olympus also has its quirks. If there were not the Samsung, Panasonic or would a different rate then would be the choice easier.

The Panasonic GF1 is always a little bit of more photographers designed with Samsung decisions were made partly with features that were not on a per good photos. So it is surprising that it does not refresh automatically in automatic mode by pressing a key between. Can select Flash and Flash Off. Just one has to determine (with the fn key) to the Autofokusart in other modes ever in a menu. This does seem very strange, since one could prove the green button with. The autofocus is ever such a thing, because you can still see what improvements it. Then, strangely, you can see the ISO values ​​are chosen only when you look at the pictures - not if you druchdrückt the shutter button halfway or completely! Until ISO400 makes stunning pictures at ISO800 only if you have not activated the automatic exposure control (the same ISO100 also activated internally and probably works with a doubling of sensitivity). At ISO800 depending on the setting, or otherwise at ISO1600 everything is drawn only soft as wax, to see more details.

The award goes to this market segment in order, you can also get the 30mm fixed focal length low to. At 4/3 the fixed focal length cost twice and that was the decisive factor that I do not want to pay so much for a system of camera and two lenses as for two Canon entry-level DSLRs just so I can get a small case and not yet fully mature camera concepts.

Conclusion: To whom the price is absolutely not care, can live with the not so great colors from Panasonic (eg EH works with RAW in Aperture or Lightroom), the buy Panasonic. Otherwise Samsung is perhaps a compromise for the transitional period until what comes better.
