While there are enough drawbacks to keep the Samsung NX10 from being a no-brainer choice among interchangeable-lens cameras, it's still a well-designed model that's fun to shoot with and capable of producing very nice photos.

    The Good: Comfortable, intelligent design; nice LCD; capable of producing excellent images.

    The Bad: Default image settings could be better; sensor cleaning on resume from standby; middling EVF; no override for EVF eye sensor; annoying raw software.

    The Bottom Line: While there are enough drawbacks to keep the Samsung NX10 from being a no-brainer choice among interchangeable-lens cameras, it's still a well-designed model that's fun to shoot with and capable of producing very nice photos.

    Review Summary: Samsung's NX10 camera may have been superseded by the NX11, but it's still an impressive camera, and cheaper than ever before. You'll be able to get a brand new model and lens for around £50 less than the NX11, making it a great buy.

    The Verdict: The Samsung NX10 is one of the most impressive compact system cameras. It may lack the wow-factor of Sony's NEX or Olympus' PEN ranges, but it's actually more comfortable than both to hold. It's also easy to use, and offers great build quality.

    Review Summary: ($699) marks Samsung's bold entry into the increasingly competitive interchangeable lens camera market. It's designed to go head-to-head with the likes of the Panasonic Lumix DMC-G2 and, to a lesser extent, the more compact (and viewfinder-less)...

    The Verdict: Overall, the Samsung NX10 is quite impressive for a first generation product, though it has a ways to go before it'll be the best interchangeable lens camera on the market. Samsung has shown through firmware updates that they want to improve the NX10,...

    Review Summary: With a small body but big sensor, Samsung's NX10 did a lot to impress us.

    The Verdict: Despite our qualms, Samsung’s NX10 gets our vote above the same small-body offerings from Sony and Olympus. We had easy access to the most important functions; a good body design; onboard flash and an electronic viewfinder (both not present on Sony's...

    Review Summary: Decent performance, but this large mirrorless camera doesn't offer many advantages over a traditional DSLR

    Review Summary: The Samsung NX10 is an interchangeable lens digital camera that's going to garner a lot of attention. It has a bigger sensor than the interchangeable ...

    The Verdict: The Samsung NX10 can do the job of a digital SLR, but it's smaller and a little more affordable. It's an interchangeable lens camera that doesn't skimp on features -- you get a built-in flash and an EVF -- and it can take very clear and vibrant photos....

    Review Summary: I always enjoy the occasions I get to look a DSLR unit. This will always be the pinnacle for any amateur photographer. It gives you the chance to capture images of the same quality as those who stand around in freezing, wet or hot conditions to capture...

    The Verdict: Image quality both flash and non flash were excellent I even printed a few images at only 2MP which is not really enough for A4 but they were acceptable. While I used all the capture sizes a ‘professional’ would probably use only the 14MP mode because...

    Review Summary: The NX10 is Samsung's entry into the mirror less interchangeable lens camera (ILC) market

    The Verdict: The camera is completely made up of plastic which feels well put together and of high quality though the plastic cover the pop up flash, the memory card and the connections door felt flimsy. In fact the pop up flash pop up mechanism stop functioning...

    Review Summary: The Samsung NX10, another entry in the growing compact interchangeable-lens camera category, takes up less room in your camera bag than most DSLRs, while still featuring a 14.6 megapixel, APS-C, CMOS image sensor, 3-inch LCD, and the Samsung NX mount...

    The Verdict: The Samsung NX10 is a solid camera to hold and shoot. Even though I prefer the LCD for composing images, it's convenient to have the EVF in bright conditions when the LCD might be difficult to see. Both the NX10 body and 18-55mm zoom lens are nicely...
