Samsung NX 20 Ergonomic Review
After numerous years utilizing SLR's at that point DSLR's as my primary cameras I purchased my first (mirrorless) compatible focal point camera, a Panasonic G1, in 2009. I was not satisfied with the G1's ergonomics so in 2010 I purchased a Samsung NX10 which gave a more pleasant handle and a more easy to use control format.
Market Position and purchaser desires Samsung is showcasing, to the degree the imaging division does any promoting in Australia, the NX20 as their "Premium" exchangeable focal point camera. In that capacity I figure potential purchasers would anticipate that it should have a dimension of picture quality, execution and ergonomics in any event comparable to premium ILC's from different brands.
Target User Group The NX20 has determinations (like the 20 mpx sensor, RAW catch, EVF and swing out screen) which may speak to the "Master/Controller" experienced picture taker yet additionally has highlights (like wi-fi, brilliant channels and particular shading) which may engage the more extensive, snapshooting, advanced cell insightful gathering. The hazard for a camera looking to engage many is that it might fulfill none.
Survey Priorities This is an ergonomic audit so I will focus on ergonomics and issues identifying with the client experience. Anyway short remark about picture quality is proper as this as well, influences the client's commitment with the camera. You can peruse somewhere else every one of the insights concerning details and highlights. I have not tried video peformance for this audit. Neither did I endeavor to utilize the Wi-Fi highlight, in spite of the fact that I wonder how helpful it would be with the 33-34 MB RAW documents which this camera produces.
Picture Quality
Goals is conceivably high, even incredibly high as indicated by certain reports. However, top evaluation focal points are required for full acknowledgment of that potential. Sadly just a solitary one of the focal points I tried (the 18-55 mm unit zoom) verged on uncovering the sensor's goals potential and afterward just in the focal zone of the edge at some central lengths.
Clamor Uncorrected RAW commotion levels (straight off ACR 7.1 at default settings) up to ISO 3200 were somewhat not exactly the GH2 and marginally more than the EM5. At ISO 6400 the NX20 gives you the alternative of high commotion levels (with hello there ISO NR off) or soft JPEG like pictures (with Hi ISO NR on). Neither interests. This current camera's trademark tone bend is significant to it's commotion execution. I shot many photographs of an assortment of subjects utilizing the NX20, GH2 and EM5 next to each other. The EM5 regularly conveys lighter mid tones than the other two cameras. The NX20 records regularly produce a histogram skewed to one side. These dull tones must be pulled up with the sliders in ACR/LR. The issue is that the vast majority of the commotion lives in those dim tones so destroying them to the correct expands the general appearance of clamor to the hindrance of picture quality.
Dynamic Range My fairly casual however pragmatic technique for testing DR is to photo a set scene with high subject splendor range and check how well detail is uncovered in features and shadows. This test positioned the EM5 best pursued by the GH2 then NX20. I come up short on the specialized mastery to put a number on DR yet DXO rates the GH2 at 11.3 stops, so the NX20 seems to convey not as much as that.
Note that I am looking at the NX20 which has an APS-C (28mm corner to corner) sensor to two M43 cameras each having a 21.5 mm inclining sensor. One (the GH2) is 2 years of age and going to be supplanted. The NX20 with it's bigger sensor should effortlessly beat the M43 cams on all proportions of picture quality yet does as such just for goals.
Execution
Speed: Samsung's absolute first ILC, the NX10, was moderate to compose information to the memory card. I adapted to this since I wasn't in a rush more often than not. In any case, I missed the capacity to snap off a progression of shots with hardly a pause in between or pursue center a moving subject. A few firmware refreshes improved issues somewhat yet progressive NX cams consistently fell behind M43 in by and large working rate. The NX20 is Samsung's eighth NX camera.
The NX20 is publicized as having the option to make 8 shots for every second except that is just conceivable on the off chance that you don't need AF or see between each edge. The camera will make 8 RAW photographs thusly then set up the "Preparing" sign for the following 30 seconds.
Constant AF with Continuous Drive produces 6 outlines in 6 seconds with picture quality set to JPG Large Fine. The Olympus EM5 can keep running at 3.3 casings every second with a similar picture size and quality and keep center around moving autos all the while.
Self-adjust: In Single Shot drive, Single AF, Selection AF, self-adjust is precise and dependable in a wide scope of conditions. My NX10 and 11 went for right around two years and a large number of exposures with an AF misfocus rate of under 1%. In the event that the NX20 utilizes a similar innovation I envision it will be similarly solid. It works at a better than average speed despite the fact that not exactly as quick as the most recent M43 cams. The dynamic AF territory can be effectively moved around the edge. Constant AF with consistent drive is best overlooked. This current cam's general working pace is unreasonably moderate for nonstop AF to work conveniently.
Auto ISO: This is inadequately actualized. The camera routinely sets an ISO and thusly screen speed unreasonably moderate for the central length being used. The camera "knows" this since it sets up the shade shake cautioning hand yet neglects to make the undeniable next stride and move the ISO up to a more elevated amount. This is especially baffling on the grounds that different cams routinely hit the nail on the head.
Ergonomics I will audit this utilizing my standard headings for the four periods of camera use and the three fundamental undertakings of Capture Phase. For further clarification about this please allude to my dialog under numerous headings somewhere else on this blog.
Plan Phase Adjustments in this stage are made by a blend of hard modules (catches, dials, scroll wheels) and the Fn screen. The Mode dial is of standard design and functions admirably. The mix 4 route controller with back dial is a standout amongst the best I have experienced. It is of shaking saucer plan with a forcefully characterized boundary making it simple to discover and work by feel, without taking a gander at the module. It is a huge enhancement for the Panasonic "five catch" game plan utilized on the GH2. There are two catches on the top plate, simply behind the parchment wheel.
The Fn screen is a standout amongst the best I have seen on any camera. It is extremely clear, simple to explore and utilize. Yet, OIS is absent from the Fn screen and must be found in the fundamental menu. At the point when Samsung put their iFn catch on the focal point barrels, they evacuated the OIS on/off change and neglected to give an elective brisk entryway of access to this control. The iFn catch can't be designed as a snappy OIS on/off control either.
Catch Phase, Viewing game plans on the NX20 are commonly great. The screen is of the flexible swing and swivel type and gives an unmistakable, sharp perspective regarding the matter. The EVF is enormous improvement over that on the NX10/11, furnishing an unmistakable sharp view with great shadow detail.
