Conclusion
|
The Samsung NX20 is a well-rounded interchangeable lens compact for advanced users. It's pleasant to use and delivers great picture quality in photo and video modes. The NX20's user-friendly design and handling (iFn, viewfinder, swivel screen, etc.) are a strong point, and Wi-Fi connectivity is an added bonus. The camera's only real drawbacks are an autofocus that's often too slow in low light and RAW files that are slow to save. |
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. |
