Conclusion
|
The Samsung NX1000 is a more basic version of the NX210. It maintains all the advantages of the higher-end model and, as far as we're concerned, its LCD screen is actually better than the AMOLED display in the NX210! That said, Panasonic's GF5 and Sony's NEX-F3 are also nice cameras, both of which come with a built-in flash and a cheaper price tag. |
The NX210 is only a minor update of the NX200. In fact, the only major addition is the Wi-Fi function. The image quality is good, but the camera's a tad too slow and lacks the charm of the Sony NEX and Panasonic GF5. |
The GF5 is a nice update of Panasonic's GF3. Handling has improved thanks to the reworked interface, and picture quality has been enhanced at high-sensitivity settings. All in all, the Lumix GF5 is a pleasant and consistent camera to use. There are better cameras out there, but they'll no doubt be bulkier and more expensive. |
The Sony NEX-F3 gets a built-in flash in return for a bulkier body. Elsewhere, changes are few and far between, and the NEX-F3 is as simple, effective and pleasant-to-use as the NEX-C3. With its more reasonable price tag, it makes an excellent alternative to the NEX-5N. |
