In dimmer light, the EVF does slow down its refresh a bit, so there can be some lag present there, but the viewfinder maintains good clarity in darker environments.Īutofocus seemed very quick to me (using the new 16-50mm f/2-2.8 zoom) in good light, and passable in dimmer light, though it does slow down a bit in darker environments. Repsonse time in decent light is outstanding, with very low lag. It’s bright, has excellent contrast and is very clear. I’m hoping it’s simply a setting I couldn’t find, though the Samsung representatives also had difficulty finding a way to switch this functionality. In aperture priority, both dials control aperture, while EC is accessed by holding the EC button and adjusting one of the dials. While the camera can be programmed to set any number of functions to your liking, I was unable to find a way to control exposure compensation using the rear dial in any of the priority modes. There is a four-way control dial and several more buttons on the rear of the camera. On top of this dial sit four buttons controlling AF, ISO, metering and white balance. It’s something I’d imagine you get used to after shooting with the camera for a while. This dial has great clicks and a bevy of selectable modes, but the manner in which one must depress the button and turn it is a bit fiddly. This includes a drive dial with a push button lock that must be depressed to change drive modes. The controls are fairly well laid out, with two main command dials accessible by your index finger and thumb, a standard mode dial on top and a sort of ‘hub’ of controls on the top left. The camera is just small enough that my pinky is on the borderline of staying on the grip or sliding under, but overall it felt great in the hand.
The grip is large and feels fantastic in the hand. The first thing you notice about the camera is that it’s very much in the style of the Panasonic GH3 and GH4, as the NX1 is an SLR-Styled camera that is almost the size of a standard SLR. The new Samsung NX1 (with their 85mm f/1.4) I spent about 40 minutes with the NX1 today, so here are my first hands-on impressions. This SLR-styled machine is aimed at action shooters with fast focusing and extremely fast 15 frame per second burst mode while tracking focus. Samsung has made a few waves in the mirrorless world with the introduction of their new flagship NX1 camera.
