Why still so ne old camera set in the fast-moving digital time and then also evaluate?
I am very well equipped with Olympus and many lenses.
Above all, I'm still very good analog OM lenses, for example, the 3.5 / 21 and 2.8 / 24
That's where I've stated.
Due to the form factor 2 at Olympus was 2 normal focal lengths from the excellent wide-angle lenses.
In telephoto, this is advantageous and also the built-in stabilizer in Olympus.
So I was looking for a small, lightweight camera with form factor 1.5 and also at an affordable price.
Since only Sony and Samsung comes into question.
It was the Samsung because price-performance ratio is right segment in the "waste".
A ca.31mm and from the 24er a ca.36 wide-angle lens from Zuiko 21s.
Since I have always photographed in moderate wide angle ideal.
Also you need at these focal lengths no stability, which should create freehand, I can do easily.
I wanted no highly cultured Pixelmonster and the 14MP are, as has been found ideal for the analog lenses.
In addition I have a photo set by Hamburg's HafenCity, recorded with the Zuiko 3.5 / 21st
The camera itself is so pretty come as of 2010 in the year.
However, the image quality is still at a high level.
The color reproduction, sharpness, detail view and drawing in the images come with the 14MP APS-C sensor perfectly adequate for imaging.
I'm not 100% pixel search, but magnify up to A2 and that is sufficient.
My recommendation for users of the good old analogue lenses a worthwhile camera, you can adapt almost anything.
I use the camera now only with the Zuiko 3.5 / 21st
Up to ISO 400 everything is ok, more I have previously not made and as a landscape photographer is the camera almost always at 200 ISO, according to my test here is the best picture quality.
Even 5 years after the camera appear and some followers, the NX10 an inexpensive second or third camera.
The imaging performance can convince fully.
Manual focusing is going well with the viewfinder, even though this now and so has its problems with the eye sensor, especially for eyeglass wearers.
That does not always work immediately because it takes sometimes even the right "look through".
Remedied the screen menu to disable the same and only to use the viewfinder.
Final image viewing is done on the PC anyway.
Also I prefer to photograph in the Samsung in SAM (RAW), the data are, however, very large with about 20-25MP, but you have to sift through a lot of detail.
Those who do not want the JPG are also very good.
You can record both simultaneously.
The white balance has surprised me, he hits very well with my NX10 and requires no repair.
I like the NX 10 as it is very handy with a handle, and you can take pictures without shaking so.
I can recommend the NX10 each wants to use his good lenses from the analog days.
