Samsung had a successful run with their NX10 camera and EVIL series of NX mirrorless cameras so there are some high expectations for the Samsung NX100. The Samsung NX100 sports the same features as its NX10 big brother camera. The Samsung NX10’s great feature and stashed it in the very compact body of the Samsung NX100!
As expected though the Samsung NC100 did have to sacrifice some features including the Samsung NX10’s EVF built-in flash and the comfortable handgrip. These were all “compromised” to make the Samsung NX100 a tad bit smaller.
That said, Samsung still kept the 14.6 megapixel CMOS image sensor with the Samsung NX100 camera. It also kept the NX lens mount system and the 3 inch LCD with AMOLED technology.
As with many digital SLRS and compact camera, the Samsung NX100 can shoot 720 HD video recording.
The Samsung NX100 has an expansive range of ISO reaching up tp ISO 3200 (or even 6400 when bought with the ISO expansion).
The Samsung NX100 is a gadget freaks’ camera as its has full manual controls as it is fully automatic.
With the Samsung NX100 you use the new i-Function lens system. This is a Samsung developed technology in which the lens automatically focuses on the subject and with the unique control system the camera can easily change camera settings without the change of grip on the NX100. This is made possible by having the iFN button on the lens barrel. The new button is in conjunction with the manual focus ring.
With this kind of set up it is possible for you to change to different camera settings, including changing ISO, shutter speed, white balance, exposure, etc.
This functionality adapted but the Samsung NX100 as well as future NX series cameras is pretty great design. Once you get used to the control it becomes apparent that the design makes changing the setting pretty much seamless.
What happens is that when you want to change mode you just press the iFn button and fial the focus ring. That is how easy you can change the settings. Again it may take some getting used to especially for beginners but once you master the whole iFN button it is easier and more practical to navigate.
Similar to generally most EVIL camera, a great thing about the Samsung NX100 is that if offers a lot of manual options that makes the compact camera feel like the digital SLR but can easily be used by any photography beginner.

Great for Indoor (no flash) & documents
I am novice in digital photography and already own a compact digital camera for casual photos. I purchased this camera for the following situations: 1. Indoor photos without a flash. 2. Photos of speakers at a meeting without a flash. 3. Photos of genealogy documents without a flash. Likes: -- Large CMOS sensor results in excellent detailed photos. - Once you get used to the controls, it is easy to use. - Extensive control over settings and preferences through menu options. - External battery charger included. Dislikes: - Auto ("Smart") setting in low light can easily result in slightly blurred photos due to a too-long shutter speed (see tip below). - Lots of external buttons (a bit difficult for the occasional user to remember). - Lens cap can be easily knocked off (almost lost it twice). - User guide (4"x5" black&white booklet) is very good except that it includes a description of a more advanced zoom lens that apparently is not available. Also for what this camera costs, it should have been in color. Tips: - I control the shutter speed myself by leaving the mode dial on the "S" setting. You set speed by turning the ""Jog Dial" (a wheel). The LCD display shows image illumination when you half-press the shutter button. - After taking the photo and displaying it on the LCD screen, you can zoom in to view the small details to verify that it is not blurred. - It has an extensive menu system. Used that to turn off noise correction. - The zoom lens that came with the camera works for my purposes. So I have no plans to buy the optional faster one. Wish list: - That my jacket had a pocket big enough for this camera.
